JoDavi is back with a new single, “What’s Your Name?” that will make you think. The song is based on the story of Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah, and Daniel in the book of Daniel in the Bible, who were renamed by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, questioning their identities. This is a narrative that opens a dialogue about identity, heritage, and spiritual grounding.
JoDavi mentions the change of names like Shadrach, Mishach, Abednego, and the renaming of Daniel to Belteshazzar to make the point that others can change our identity but not erase it. The telling stresses the tension between identity imposed and identity known, making ancient history a relatable meditation on modern self-awareness and conviction. It also considers how faith and resilience help sustain identity under cultural pressure.
The song encourages listeners to hold on to who they are, even when outside forces try to define them differently. JoDavi creates a reflective and emotionally grounded piece, marrying historical narrative with present-day relevance. “What’s Your Name?” is a resonant reminder of the importance of names, meaning, and self-identity.
