"Gold" is a song by German singer Loi. It was released by Volksmusic on 16 September 2022.[1] A French version of the single featuring singer Robin was released by the same label on 30 June 2023.[2]

Composition and reception

According to Loi, "Gold" is "about a person who just makes you feel a little better".[3] She wrote the song with Felix Jeremias Volk, René Müller, and its producer, Simon Klose.[4] "Gold" was the result of a collaboration between Loi, former University of Bonn lecturer Dr. Volkmar Kramarz, and health insurance company Barmer. The lattermost implemented a "musical campaign" with the help of the single to "highlight the positive effects of music and the importance of relaxation" in stressful times. "Gold"'s tempo and rhythm follow a structure developed by Kramarz which aims to "giv[e] people strength and motivation"; the structure is "based on scientific findings on the effect of music on people".[5][6]

Marina Rößer of Werben & Verkaufen called the single "empowering".[6] Panorama indicated that listeners "will veer towards the same good vibes with which Loi followed her inspiration" for "Gold".[7] Radio Köln thought that with the song, Loi "bring[s] us all back into that late-summer feel-good mood".[8] Artist: Loi
