"Golden" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, taken from her fourteenth studio album of the same name (2018). It was released by Kylie's own company Darenote Limited and licensed to BMG Rights Management, as an album track, on 6 April 2018 for digital consumption. It was confirmed on 28 May 2018 as the third single from the album.[1][2][3][4] The song impacted radio in Italy on 29 May 2018.[5]

"Golden" was one of the three tracks that was written during Minogue's two week visit to Nashville, following the suggestion of a country music element for Golden, along with "Dancing" and "Sincerely Yours". The song was written by Minogue, Lindsay Rimes, Liz Rose and Steve McEwan, and was produced by Rimes. Musically, along with the previous singles, "Golden" is a pop song with elements of country music. Lyrically, it talks about living life and showing determination.

The music video for "Golden" was directed by Sophie Muller, who also directed the videos for "Dancing" and "Stop Me from Falling". It was recorded on a foot terrace Havana, Cuba, during the same time that the video for the Gente De Zona remix of "Stop Me from Falling" was filmed; Minogue uploaded a post to Instagram, captioning the photo: "We had no lights, no crew... no makeup!! It took some convincing from my Director, Sophie Muller but we did it!"[6]

Minogue performed the song as the opening to the Kylie Presents Golden shows and on The Voice Kids UK.
