ABOUT THE SONG

“Golden” is the Grammy-winning song from the K-Pop Demon Hunters film, which won the 2026 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. In the film, a girl group uses music to “ignite the soul and bring people together.” The lyrics explore themes of connection, belonging, and authenticity
