"Golden Years" is a song recorded by music producer M-Phazes and Australian singer Ruel. The song was released on 14 April 2017,[1] becoming Ruel's official debut single.[3] A remix of the song (which only credits Ruel as the lead artist) by M-Phazes was later released on 16 March 2018.[2]
Ruel performed the song during the 2018 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.[4]
Though a music video for the original track was never released, one was made for the song's remix by M-Phazes, which was released on 16 March 2018—the same day as the track's release.[5]
Sosefina Fuamoli from The AU Review said "the final result is something of polished and refined electronic-driven pop" and the song is "primed for radio success".[6]
Elton John, during his Beats 1 radio show, complimented the song, saying "it’s astonishing [how] someone [Ruel] so young can write something so good" and jokingly said "I give up."[7]
Credits for the song's remix adapted from Tidal.[8]
