During the filming of the finale of "The Voice" on Channel 13, a new song by Israeli pop star Noa Kirel was leaked online. Wearing a red outfit and accompanied by dancers, Kirel performed the song with Spanish guitar accompaniment, showcasing a strong vocal delivery. The brief clip was shared on the TikTok account "Shmuot" with the caption "Quick before they take it down," hinting the official release will coincide with the show's finale. Early impressions suggest the track is set to become the defining song of the summer.

This follows Kirel's May release of "The Prettiest When You Enjoy It," a light pop song addressing complex themes of women's relationships with food and body image. Kirel revealed she has struggled with thoughts about weight and eating since age 14, describing her personal challenges with calorie counting, fat percentages, and exercise. She framed these anxieties in a rhythmic, playful song that encourages listeners to relax and enjoy food.

When asked for comment on the leak, Roberto Ben Shushan, Kirel's longtime manager, declined to respond. The leak has generated significant buzz ahead of the anticipated official launch during "The Voice" finale.
