Singles

The album's main single "Forever" was released on June 1, 2015. During its premiere, Nina Sky announced Brightest Gold as an EP. "Forever"was produced by Spaceplant and Vito Fun making it the sisters' first song to be produced by the two. "We wanted something that was smooth but also had a bounce," The FADER reports the twins as stating to them in an email. "Spaceplant finessed the verses with a modern '90s freestyle beat pattern and built up the hook just enough that the song still has its original, sweet vibe, but if you drop it at the right time in a club; it will still go off!" Added the twins.[1] A snippet for a second track titled "Champion Lover" was teased in a video on the twins official Instagram. It was performed for the first time on Abstract Radio (2015).
