An early production of theirs, it hits home with the familiar Tabu sound, the S.O.S. Band’s “Just Be Good to Me” is more than a song; it’s a feeling. It’s the anticipation when the DJ drops the needle, the sway of bodies under disco lights, and the shared smiles between strangers. It’s a reminder that sometimes, all we need is a little goodness—to dance, to love, and to be good to one another.
