Nothing Gold Can Stay is the debut studio album by American rock band New Found Glory, released on May 1, 1999, through independent record label Eulogy Recordings.[4] At the time, the band was then named "A New Found Glory", but later dropped the indefinite article "A" due to some fans struggling to find their records in stores.[5][6] The original pressings of the album contained samplings from several films including The Outsiders (1983), Weird Science (1985), and That Thing You Do! (1996), as well as Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay", after which the album is named.[7]

On the strength of the release, Richard Reines, co-founder of Drive-Thru Records, signed the band after paying Eulogy a $5,000 license fee in order to re-release the album on October 19, 1999.[8][9] Propelled by debut single "Hit or Miss", Nothing Gold Can Stay sold in excess of 300,000 copies.[8] The record was responsible for breaking the band in the United States and has been noted for its influence on contemporary pop punk music.[1][2]
