After placing ninth on the second season of The X Factor US, Bea Miller signed a record deal with Hollywood Records and Simon Cowell's Syco Music in January 2013, and subsequently started working on new songs.[5]
The song has been used for promos for ABC Family shows such as The Fosters and Switched at Birth. It was also used for Netflix shows' commercials.

The music video for "Fire n Gold" was filmed in March 2015.[9] It was uploaded to Miller's official Vevo account on May 20, 2015.[10] It was directed by Black Coffee.[11] The video shows Miller lying on bed covered in polaroid photos before her friends emerge from the background shadows and dance with her.[12] Miller said about the song, "It's reminding all the people who are really down in the dumps and who feel like they're alienated and like no one understands them and they're really alone that they do have a purpose in life and that they are here for a reason."[13]
