The Noise Club-produced “Gold,” with its typewriter-Esque percussion and detuned melody (imagine a warped 45 of The Stylistics’ “You Make Me Feel Brand New”), finds the flurries of multi-tracked JoJo in a metaphorical mood when comparing sex with divinity.
[Chorus]
Know
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is—
You know
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Mmm
Yeah
[Verse 1]
You're bringin' it out of me, from my head to my toes
I call that anatomy, just the way that shit goes
You movin' inside of me, speakin' so heavenly
I call that divinity, we already know
[Pre-Chorus]
The way that you love me, love me, love me alone
You got that lovin', like your lovin' is gold
The way that you love me is lovely, love me alone
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
[Chorus]
Know
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
You know
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Ooh-hoo, oh
[Verse 2]
You're bringin' it out of me, my body and soul
Spirituality takin' me places thought I'd never go
You teachin' me everythin' (Teachin' me everythin')
You're tellin' me, “No”
You're makin' me better from wherever, whatever I was before
[Pre-Chorus]
The way that you love me, love me, love me alone
You got that lovin', like your lovin' is gold
The way that you love me is lovely, love me alone
You got that lovin', like your lovin' is gold
[Chorus]
Know (Woah, ooh)
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
You know (Ooh)
You got that lovin', yeah, your lovin' is gold
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mmm, mmm
Mm-mmm, mm-mmm
Dum-dum-dum-mmm
