DOWNLOAD THE SONGSHEET
You can play along with the video! I've created this songsheet to get this ear worm out of my head and down on paper and satisfy some of my eager beavers who love the song as much as I do! The songsheet I've created includes the complete intro and outro instrumental, but it would likely be best to simplify it for a jam. There is a 3 octave vocal range in this song! I've included a video below that breaks down the pronunciation for the Korean words and also provided the translations below. However, in the songsheet, I've tried to recreate the Korean words with recognizable syllables as close as I can to how they sound to my poor, old ears after listening at 1/4 speed for hours to the video with the pronunciation! Perhaps for a jam, you might want to substitute the English words for the Korean - up to you!
"Golden" was written by Ejae, Mark Sonnenblick, 24, and Teddy in 2025. In addition to the overall success of the film's soundtrack, the song "Golden" reached number one on the Billboard Global 200, and also topped the charts in more than 25 countries, including South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The song additionally peaked within the top ten of charts in over 30 other countries. The song is performed in a three octave range which goes up to a high A at A5. The Chosun Daily also noted music critic Lim Hee-yoon's observation that "the powerful high note reaching up to a high A in the third octave is rarely used in idol songs" which adds "freshness". Ars Technica commented that the song "spans an impressive three-octave range, eventually hitting an A-5 on the chorus–a high note usually reserved for classically trained operatic sopranos". "Golden" was performed live in full for the first time by Ejae, Nuna, and Rei Ami on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 7, 2025.
