"Golden" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Kingswood and released on 3 February 2017 is the second single from their second studio album, After Hours, Close to Dawn. The song was certified gold in Australia in 2019 and platinum in 2025.
The song was voted in at number 68 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2017.[2]
Emmy Mack from Music Feeds called the song "surprising" and "Un-Kingswood" saying the song "is light on the rock but heavy on the soul, swapping out the band's trademark chunky distorted guitar lines for a plodding organ, twinkling vibraphone, cheeky horns and feather-light drums."[3]
Andrew Massie from The Rock Pit said "Golden is a seductive, slow jam, which again highlights the unexpected and subtler nuances about what lies beneath Kingswood's rock n' roll swagger."[4]
