"Green & Gold" belongs to Blood, the second album from English singer Lianne La Havas, which Warner Bros. released at the end of July 2015. She wrote it with Jamie Lidell and Aqualung and produced it with Lidell, with Aqualung adding extra production.
Blood grew out of a journey. After touring behind her 2012 debut, Is Your Love Big Enough?, La Havas went to Jamaica looking to reconnect with her roots, and that trip got her writing again; she framed the finished album as a tribute to her Jamaican and Greek bloodlines, hence the title. It also traded the debut's acoustic leanings for neo-soul and jazz threaded with R&B, reggae, doo-wop and gospel, set over heavy bass and electronic touches, with love, relationships and identity running through the lyrics.
