Background and release

[edit]

In 2019, Ai traveled to her hometown, Los Angeles, California to record material for a new album.[1] While in California, Ai worked with Lindy Robbins to write "Good as Gold". Robbins and Ai also worked with producers Rogét Chahayed and Taylor Dexter to write the song. Regarding production of the song, Chahayed stated he recorded the piano first before the lyrics of the song were complete.[2] Robbins commented, "It's wonderful to write music that bridges countries and has a positive message".[2]

"Good as Gold" was released with no prior announcement. Universal Japan announced the song would serve as a commercial tie-in for Lux in Japan.[3][4][5]
