The winning streak continues for “Golden,” the breakout title track from Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters, after taking home Song of the Year at the 2026 American Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Performed by the singing voices behind fictional K-pop group HUNTR/X — EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — the hit track triumphed over nine other nominees to claim the fan-voted award.

Among the songs it bested were “The Fate of Ophelia” by Taylor Swift, “Ordinary” by Alex Warren, “I’m the Problem” by Morgan Wallen, and “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley.

Representing the team at the ceremony, EJAE and Rei Ami took the stage to accept the award, while Audrey Nuna was absent from the event.

During their acceptance speech, the pair reflected on the song’s emotional journey and its growing global success.

“It feels like we really closed the Honmoon,” they said, referencing a key element from KPop Demon Hunters, before adding, “We are so grateful to the KPop Demon Hunters team.”

EJAE, who co-wrote “Golden” alongside songwriter Mark Sonnenblick, also expressed gratitude to fans and the creative team behind the globally successful animated film.

The AMA win marks another major milestone for “Golden,” which has already enjoyed an impressive awards-season run.

Earlier this year, the track earned a Grammy Award for Song Written for Visual Media before securing Best Original Song at the Oscars — further cementing its cultural impact beyond animation and K-pop fandom.
