Composition and reception

According to Loi, "Gold" is "about a person who just makes you feel a little better". ^[3] She wrote the song with Felix Jeremias Volk, René Müller, and its producer, Simon Klose. ^[4] "Gold" was the result of a collaboration between Loi, former University of Bonn lecturer Dr. Volkmar Kramarz, and health insurance company Barmer. The lattermost implemented a "musical campaign" with the help of the single to "highlight the positive effects of music and the importance of relaxation" in stressful times. "Gold"'s tempo and rhythm follow a structure developed by Kramarz which aims to "giv[e] people strength and motivation"; the structure is "based on scientific findings on the effect of music on people". ^{[5] [6]}

Marina Rößer of Werben & Verkaufen  [ de ] called the single "empowering". ^[6] Panorama indicated that listeners "will veer towards the same good vibes with which Loi followed her inspiration" for "Gold". ^[7] Radio Köln  [ de ] thought that with the song, Loi "bring[s] us all back into that late-summer feel-good mood". ^[8] Artist: Loi
