Gold
Gold is a dance-pop break-up anthem that brims with attitude. With the opening minor key synth hook, sensual vocal and lemon-sharp lyrics, listeners walk into an atmosphere you could cut with a knife. The song builds with layers of synths, heartbeat bass and snare drums to a euphoric, energetic dance chorus.
“If it don't feel like gold, I don't wanna know” is a sassy mantra of self-worth and liberation that we can all get behind. Gold is a catchy, immersive call to action, as expertly produced as you’d expect from Jack. Add it to your feel-good playlist.

Lyrics
It’s funny how you have changed your tune
How quickly you have gone and lost your appetite
It’s funny how we’re not laughing now
How did we flip from gloss to tarnished overnight
But you remind me of a love that I lost in a dream
Yeah you remind me of a love that I lost in a dream
If it don’t feel like gold
(So let me tell ya, so let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
I don’t wanna know
(Don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna)
If it don’t feel unreal
(Yeah let me tell ya, yeah let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
Then I don’t wanna feel
(Don’t wanna wanna feel, don’t wanna wanna feel)
If it don’t feel like gold
(So let me tell ya, so let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
I don’t wanna know
(Don’t wanna know no, don’t wanna know no, don’t wanna)
It’s funny how you have changed your tune
How quickly you have gone and lost your appetite
It’s funny how we’re not laughing now
How did we flip from gloss to tarnished overnight
But you remind me of a love that I lost in a dream
Yeah you remind me of a love that I lost in a dream
If it don’t feel like gold
(So let me tell ya, so let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
I don’t wanna know
(Don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna)
If it don’t feel unreal
(Yeah let me tell ya, yeah let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
Then I don’t wanna feel
(Don’t wanna wanna feel, don’t wanna wanna feel)
So let me tell ya
So let me tell ya
Let me tell ya
Don’t wanna know, no
Don’t wanna know, no
So let me tell ya
So let me tell ya
Let me tell ya
Don’t wanna know, no
Don’t wanna know, no
If it don’t feel like gold
(So let me tell ya, so let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
I don’t wanna know
(Don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna know, no, don’t wanna)
If it don’t feel unreal
(Yeah let me tell ya, yeah let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
Then I don’t wanna feel
(Don’t wanna wanna feel, don’t wanna wanna feel)
If it don’t feel like gold
(So let me tell ya, so let me tell ya, let me tell ya, let me tell ya)
I don’t wanna know
(Don’t wanna wanna feel, don’t wanna wanna feel)
So let me tell ya
So let me tell ya
Let me tell ya
Don’t wanna know, no
Don’t wanna know, no
