January 2013 saw the release of Lady A's ever-popular track 'Downtown', which was released as the first single from their fifth studio album, 'Golden'.

Another 2013 release was Lady A's 'Compass', which was the third single from 'Golden'. Hillary spoke of how the song 'reinvigorated' the band creatively and inspired a new musical direction, telling Billboard: "From the minute we first heard it, we believed in the message and the overall feel of the song. We knew we could put our own little overall spin on it. We had to have the fans hear it – immediately." The song, of course, peaked at Number 1 on the US Country Airplay, as well as Number 6 on the US Hot Country Songs.
