"Faded" is the debut single by American
electronic musicianZhu. An
extended play of remixes was released on June 29, 2014.[2] "Faded" peaked at number one on the US Dance chart.[3]
One of the first radio stations to pick up "Faded", the alternative music orientated station
Triple J, gave the song significant airplay which was responsible for its success in Australia.[4] Subsequent to its success on Triple J, more mainstream stations began to play it, giving the song a larger audience. Eventually, "Faded" gained momentum internationally, becoming a club hit largely thanks to its initial success on Triple J. A
black-and-white music video for the song was released on May 6, 2014. The track was nominated for
Best Dance Recording at the
57th Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to "
Rather Be" by
Clean Bandit featuring
Jess Glynne. Despite this, the song came to be one of Zhu's most successful singles to date since its release in 2014.
