Golden's first music video, "Trappers Anthem", was released in 2017. In January 2019, he released the single "Valentino", which received over 100 million plays on Spotify. He received his first record deal through producer D. A. Doman. 24kGoldn got his big break through his 2019 "high-energy" single "Valentino". However, the rapper said in 2020 that "those ['Valentino'] were recorded over a year ago and don't exactly reflect the person I have become since then". Golden released his debut EP Dropped Outta College in November 2019, and he signed a record deal with Records, LLC and Columbia Records. In 2020, Golden gained further attention with single "City of Angels", which was officially released to US alternative radio on March 31, 2020; followed up in May 2020 with an official remix of the song by English singer-songwriter Yungblud. On May 20, 24kGoldn was featured on the remix of Olivia O'Brien's single "Josslyn".
On August 11, 2020, he was included on XXL's 2020 Freshman Class, placing in the 10th position after receiving the most fan votes. That same month, Golden's July 2020 single "Mood" featuring Iann Dior hit the charts due to its success on TikTok. It went on to peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
24kGoldn's music ranges from a variety of genres, motivated by his need to "never want[ing] to be constricted by one genre". Regarding his style, he stated: "depending on what song you listen to, my music can be described different ways". He attributes his "maturity and development" to rapper Paypa Boy, who initially got him into recording music.
24kGoldn grew up in San Francisco, California and attended Lowell High School, a selective public school. As a child, 24kGoldn acted in commercials. Golden sang in the choir in middle school and high school, and, with that, the importance of music in his life grew with his "own growth". Before he realised he could do music professionally, he planned on becoming a hedge fund manager. Golden attended the University of Southern California where he joined the Beta-Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, as a Spring 2019 initiate. He initially took a leave of absence from school to pursue his rap career. Golden stated that he was not anticipating "that things were going to happen so fast when I came to USC", and did not think he would finish University, but he wanted to round off the school year to further develop the relationships he made, stating his love for being on campus, and that being a student kept him "grounded".

24kgoldn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I can't even remember all the things that I said to you
Probably 'cause I'm upset (upset)
And this pain that I'm feelin' great enough to be shared by two
You used to be obsessed (obsessed)
Now you won't even glance in my direction when I walk in the room
Used to get you undressed (undressed)
So it's hard to admit it, but I still got a lot to prove
Because you're in my head, in my head, in my head again
Where I keep it, case I need you, I can't let it end
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Ain't a secret, you my weakness, shouldn't have let you in
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Where I keep it, case I need you, I can't let it end
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Ain't a secret, you my weakness, shouldn't have let you in
You remind me of my first car (skrrt)
A little rough around the edges, came straight from Texas (yeah)
You used to be my lone star
You took away the stressin' and all the second guessin'
But now you just a lost cause (ooh)
Tryin' to find (find) some meaning inside (side)
I can't believe I lost us (ooh)
And it doesn't feel right at all
That's why I'm standin' outside for you (you)
Spendin' every dime on you (you)
Wish I never lied to you (you)
I need another try with you
Because you're in my head, in my head, in my head again
Where I keep it, case I need you, I can't let it end
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Ain't a secret, you my weakness, shouldn't have let you in
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Where I keep it, case I need you, I can't let it end
In my head, in my head, in my head again
Ain't a secret, you my weakness, shouldn't have let you in
In my head (in my head)
In my head (in my head)
In my head (in my head)
In my head (in my head)
Ooh
Ooh
The lyrics of 24kgoldn's song "In My Head" tell the story of a person who is struggling to come to terms with a past relationship. The person is haunted by their memories of the other person, who they still have strong feelings for. The first verse describes the aftermath of a drunken text message the person sent the other, and how they're struggling to move on from the pain of the breakup. The chorus emphasizes the idea that the other person is always on the person's mind and how they can't let the relationship end. The second verse refers to the other person as a "lost cause" but the person can't seem to let go of their feelings for them. They express their regret for lying to the other person and admit that the breakup "doesn't feel right at all". The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the all-consuming nature of the other person's presence in their head.
Overall, the song explores themes of heartbreak, regret, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. It portrays the idea that sometimes we can't let go of our feelings for someone, even when we know we should, and how these feelings can seem to take over our entire lives.
