Composition and production
According to the sheet music published at musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of A minor, with a moderate tempo.[2] It is also one the few songs by the band not to be in common time, as it is in 6/8.
Lyrics
Along with "Hopeless Opus" and "I'm So Sorry" on Smoke + Mirrors, the song touches upon lead-singer Dan Reynolds' depression struggles.[3]
Recording
Dan Reynolds told Billboard that "Gold" was one of the last songs to be recorded for Smoke + Mirrors: "I came home from tour with my head spinning and decided to run away for a bit to the west coast and reflect/write about the last couple years." He also commented on how listening and performing the song takes him back to the moment of writing the song on the beach.[4]
