Sofia Carson Releases New Single and Music Video “Fool’s Gold”


She's about to shine brighter than ever before

Published on March 29, 2021

Igniting a bold and bright chapter, gold-selling and chart-topping singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Sofia Carson returns with a new single and music video entitled “Fool’s Gold”.

With production by GRAMMY Award-winning duo Stargate [Rihanna, Beyoncé] and Jeff Jones, the song marks a major evolution for the international star. On the track, a soulful funk guitar wraps around a pulsating bass line as her captivating voice sings a melody that embraces and transports you.

The visual story of the record is told through the concept of Fire. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis [Ariana Grande, Drake], the music video bottles Sofia’s undeniable energy as she metaphorically “plays with fire” in the game of love. With bold and striking visuals, Sofia’s electric performance brings the song to life.

About the song and video, she commented, “This is the beginning of a story I’m sharing with the world. We meet a girl who’s at the cusp of falling heart-first into a love that feels too good to be true. Before she falls, she can’t seem to quiet that voice in her head that keeps singing ‘are you for real or Fool’s Gold?'”

Gearing up for a monumental year, she was recently named UNICEF’s newest US Ambassador, while she’s set to star, produce and write the soundtrack for the film Purple Hearts.

Fool’s Gold” paves the way for a lot more to come from Sofia Carson this year.
