“The Genesis of “Golden” happened as a tornado was tearing through Nashville and whispers of a global pandemic were evolving past a rumor. I was in Alabama writing with John Paul White as my phone was lighting up with messages from friends and family back home, I was supposed to drive back to Nashville that evening but plans changed like the weather. In the stillness of the studio “Golden” was written communicating with powers beyond my control, expressing and coping with the magnitude of the situation by creating art, singing a melody into the moment to address its fragility and infinite beauty.“

Lyrics:
Real love is the only way to start
Illuminate the shadows of my heart
The city is the only place to go
Where you can take it fast or take it slow
When we move across the floor
We are Golden for sure
We live in a world rich and the poor
People are crying we can’t ignore
But here in this place
We have the moment
It feels so good to be understood and to be Golden
Shine
Shine
Can you dig it
I know your life is heavy like the rain
But that don’t mean you have to be ashamed
Take a step back and watch the garden grown
Let me show you that you’re not alone
When we move across the floor
We are Golden for sure
We live in a world rich and the poor
People are crying we can’t ignore
But here in this place
We have the moment
It feels so good to be understood and to be Golden
Shine
Shine
Can you dig it
Like a woman
Like a woman
I don’t want to be a man
I don’t want to be a woman
I just want to be golden
I don’t want to be a man
I don’t want to be a woman
I just want to be golden

[@JacobW567]

The EP "Where Does The Devil Hide" was a masterpiece and then followed all the masterpieces singles : "Dance for love" "Girls" and now "Golden"!!!!! I can tell, Zella Day is the freshest, hottest, most inspiring artist in the US!

She is already getting air-time on one of Los Angeles's best independent radio stations(KCSN 88.5 FM). It won't be long before more folks hear her wonderful work.

I'm sure I will annoy my neighbors with this great song.

[@thesunshineisfake]

It's cool how this is simultaneously like five different eras of music

[@joannaku]

I don’t know what have you done with this track but it’s so magical and nostalgic for me and makes me feel gentle pain in random parts of my body which is exactly what I feel when I’m falling in love with someone… that is so weird and I can’t stop listening. I’m sure it’s one of those song I’m gonna be listening forever ❤️‍🔥

[@nabilrahman8243]

The genre should fall under NuDisco. You're welcome

[@papapiasjoys2940]

I don't usually comment on videos, but I want to share that this song resonates with me so much. When I first listened to this song, I was going through a rough patch with resentment and a little bit of misanthropy after a failed (now ambivalent) relationship. The song's about loving and being loved, and enjoying the moment. This song is really really upbeat, but has a human message. Thanks for creating !

[@natureclips5849]

Harry golden Zella golden

[@lauren-myshellemadison2903]

[@marcisikoff]

1978 Disco styling music with a shoutout to Zella for the Social commentary about the world. Would call golden an elevated happiness and contentment feeing.

[@stuartblittley3531]

oh my god. she’s so talented! i’m living for this classic 70’s sound, especially since it is the music i grew up with (i’m gen z) she’s up there with Taylor Swift, Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, Ethel Cain, Olivia Rodrigo and girl in red in terms of the greatest artists of this generation. my opinion !

[@kurlyki]

Отлично! Песня проработана на все 100%! Давно таких красивых песен я не слышал! По стилю напоминает конец 70х, но она очень современна. Творческих успехов. Excellent! La chanson est travaillée à 100%! Depuis longtemps, je n'ai pas entendu de si belles chansons! Le style rappelle la fin des années 70, mais il est très moderne. Succès créatifs. Great! The song is 100% worked out! I haven't heard such beautiful songs for a long time! The style is reminiscent of the late 70s, but it is very modern. Creative success.
