Background
After three albums released in Canada via Warner Music Canada, Patrick signed a record deal with Riser House, and Golden Child was her first album to be issued in the United States.[3]
Content
Patrick co-wrote 17 of the 18 tracks on Golden Child, with the exception being a cover of No Doubt's "Just a Girl".[4] Karen Kosowski produced the majority of the record, though additional production credits include Ross Copperman, Billy Dawson, Aaron Eshuis, Joey Hyde, and Jake Mitchell. Patrick referred to the album's opening track, "Blood from a Stone", which was inspired by severing a toxic relationship with her mother, as the most important song on the project.[3] Patrick's husband Mitchell Tenpenny serves as inspiration across several tracks on the record, including "The Sweet Spot (Mitchell's Song)" and "Letting Go of You".[3]
