"Like Gold" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy. It was released on 3 November 2017 as the second single from Joy's album Nation of Two (2018).
Vance wrote "Like Gold" after coming off the road at the start of 2016. Joy said: "It started with a simple melody I was humming and the idea of looking back at a relationship."[3]
In February 2018, Joy said: "I play a different rhythm from anything I've played before. I really like what the producer Phil Ek did with this song with big spacious drums and I like the way it sounds full of life. It's about a love that you're kind of reflecting on and the fire's gone out but there was some really good times in there."[4][5]
"Like Gold" was certified gold in Australia in 2019.
