Golden (David Guetta REM/X) Lyrics Translation (from “Golden (from the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters)”)
HUNTR/X sings about ending secrecy and stepping into light. EJAE writes that the narrator says, “I’m done hiding, now I’m shining like I was born to be.” The lyric also flips past criticism, saying, “Called a problem child, but now that’s how I’m getting paid.”
