Golden Boy was the Israeli entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna performed by Nadav Guedj. It is the first Israeli song in the contest to be sung entirely in English as most of their previous entries were sung in Hebrew.
At the contest, the song became a massive fan favorite and it qualified from the second semi-final in 3rd place, breaking the string of four consecutive years of non-qualifications. In the final, it was performed 3rd following France and preceding Estonia. At the close of voting, it finished in 9th place with 97 points.

Mama, someone broke my heart again
Tell her I don't think I can take it anymore
Mama, someone broke my heart again
Now I'm gonna ease my pain,
Dancing on the floor
Take me out,
I'm not in the mood for a broken heart
Gonna dance tonight, forget her
No, she doesn’t know
What I'm doing on the floor
Did you say hello, my ladies?
Pull me baby, I'm your trigger
You know that my love is bigger
Love, Love, Love
Let the rhythm take us higher
You know when I'm on fire
Check me out (3-2-1- hey!)
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
I'm the king of fun
Let me show you how we do it
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
And before I leave
Let me show you Tel Aviv
Hold me tight,
We're not going home tonight
Oh yeah, do you like my dancing?
Pull me baby, I'm your trigger
You know that my love is bigger
Check me out (3-2-1- hey!)
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
I'm the king of fun
Let me show you how we do it
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
And before I leave
Let me show you Tel Aviv
This is how we do it…
This is how we do it…
Mama, someone broke my heart again
Now I'm gonna ease my pain,
Dancing on the floor
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
I'm the king of fun
Let me show you how we do it
I'm a golden boy
Come here to enjoy
And before I leave
Let me show you Tel Aviv
Now Dance, Dance, Dance
OK, Gotta Go
Three Minutes
Bye-bye
