"Gold" is the debut single from American recording artist Kiiara. The song was released on October 26, 2015, through Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group.[1] It is included on her debut extended play (EP) Low Kii Savage.[2]

Critical reception

The song is described as a "electrifying mix" between Scandinavian electropop and Atlanta trap.[3] Carl Williott of Idolator stated "The Illinois singer sounds a bit like Ellie Goulding crossed with Lorde, and she was wise to pair up with SZA collaborator Felix Snow, who has given the track a nice balance of snappy percussion and warped atmospherics. The most intriguing part, though, would be the chorus. For the first hook she’s offering to the world, Kiiara has decided to chop it up like when your Discman used to skip during a jog. It’s equal parts disorienting and addictive, and the bold choice suggests she knows exactly what she wants to accomplish with this project."[4] Stereogum's Tom Breihan claimed that "[Gold] feels like some fascinating new mutation of bedroom-pop music," and said that it "takes cues from icy RnB and from glitched-out, spacey dance music, but it also has the wide-open heart of a classic pop song."[5]
