Songfacts®:

  • In "Gold," Myles Smith uses that most shimmering of elements to convey the ecstatic, giddy, slightly irrational sensation of falling in love. You know the one: when the world feels like a perfume ad and you catch yourself smiling at absolutely nothing.
  • Smith has hinted that "Gold" is rooted in personal experience. In a February 2025 post on social media, he wrote: "I wrote a song about how I'm feeling recently... I kinda love it."

    He's remained resolutely private about the specifics - no names, no awkward paparazzi shots, not even a lyric video featuring cryptic Polaroids. Still, the song radiates that unmistakable glow of someone who's smitten and starry-eyed.
  • Myles Smith wrote the song with New York songwriter Jesse Fink and his producer Peter Fenn. These three also worked together on Smith's breakthrough hit, "Stargazing."
  • Smith first teased "Gold" early in 2025 on social media. It quickly became a fan favorite during live performances on his European tour. Released on May 23, 2025 as part of Smith's A Minute, A Moment... EP, "Gold" is three minutes and twenty-four seconds of emotional levitation.
