"Fool's Gold" is a song by Australian singer songwriter, Jack River.

It was released in June 2017 as the lead single from River's debut studio album, Sugar Mountain.

Jack River said "I was alone in New York, chasing shiny things.

I was annoyed at myself for falling for the same things over again without them giving back.

I wanted to write a song for that emotion – the relentless humanity in thinking something is gold when it just isn't.
