Following critically-acclaimed singles “Woman On The Moon (feat. UPSAHL)” and “Wonder (feat.

Additionally, he has toured with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi. His breakthrough song “This City” currently has more than one billion views on TikTok and over 250 million streams across platforms.
“‘Silver and Gold’ is truly a labor of love between creative friends and family. It feels like it’s travelled through different times, pens and cities to end up as the glorious moment it is now,” Fischer says about the song. “I’ve been a fan of Yung Bae and Pink Sweat$ for a while so I’m stoked to be able to come together on a song about celebrating & going hard at life. To add to that, getting the chance to have a purely joyful song out in the world for me is a relief from my brand of heart-wrench pop!”
Philadelphia-raised singer-songwriter Pink Sweat$ has been praised for his soulful vocals and versatility. He has written for rapper Tierra Whack, collaborated with acclaimed singer and dancer Kehlani, and worked with international artists such as South Korean R&B artist Crush.

His debut album Pink Planet released this February was hailed by The New York Times, Complex, MTV, REVOLT, and more.
“Silver & Gold” is a playful and uplifting track with an energetic beat highlighted by jovial horns and claps. The addictive and anthemic chorus inspires people to unite and reach for their goals. It’s a motivational and highly danceable tune likely to stimulate an outburst of dancing in the streets or a festival frolic.
