"Gold Forever" is a dance-pop song by British-Irish boy band The Wanted. It was produced by Steve Mac, who also co-wrote the song with Wayne Hector and Claude Kelly. It is the band's fourth overall single, and was released as the lead single from their second studio album, Battleground, on 13 March 2011, and later as a promo single from the band's 2012 American debut release, The Wanted (EP). It was also the official 2011 Comic Relief charity single. "Gold Forever" debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's third top-ten single.
Following member Tom Parker's death, an acoustic version of the song, which was originally played at his funeral on 20 April 2022, was made available on music download and streaming platforms a week later, with all proceeds going to The Brain Tumour Charity.
