Gigi Perez Earns RIAA Gold for "Fable"

Gigi Perez's single "Fable" has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification, dated November 3, 2025, recognizes 500,000 units in the United States. Released on October 25, 2024, via Island Records, the alternative track marks a significant milestone in the artist's career.

"Fable" is an emotional tribute to Perez's sister, Celene, who passed away in 2020. Through poetic lyricism, the song explores complex themes of religious doubt, love, and an eventual arrival at spiritual clarity. The track's lyrical depth has drawn significant interest, with its page on the lyric annotation site Genius accumulating approximately 285,573 pageviews. The song was Perez's first release following the rise in popularity of her track "Sailor Song" in mid-2024.

As a follow-up to a viral success, "Fable" continued to build Perez's audience. Some listeners have speculated that the song's introspective themes serve as a response to criticism the artist received for a line about atheism in a previous work. Regardless of intent, the Gold certification for "Fable" solidifies Gigi Perez's growing presence in the alternative music scene, demonstrating the commercial and emotional resonance of her songwriting.
