The track finds the reunited band picking up where the '80s left off, with George singing about his desire for "a little more than silence," surely aware of the self-referential element that exists in his band delivering just what he requests. The song could easily soundtrack an emotional climax and closing credits to a film, speaking to the universality of the appeal in both its melody and its sentiment.

Tribes will be Culture Club's sixth album in total, with all four original members (Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and Jon Moss) expected in this new run. Boy George, the group's most recognizable member, released solo album This Is What I Do last year and toured internationally behind it.
