2014 single by Zhu
"Faded " is the debut single by American electronic musician Zhu . 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.
