"Faded" is a song written by Matthew Gerrard, Jessica Origliasso, Lisa Origliasso, and Robbie Nevil, produced by Gerrard and Bryon Jones for Australian singer Kate DeAraugo's first album A Place I've Never Been (2005). It was released as the album's second single in Australia on 20 February 2006 as a CD single. Two of the song's co-writers—Jessica and Lisa Origliasso of the Veronicas—recorded a demo of "Faded" prior to DeAraugo's release. They have been known to perform the song live.
"Faded" was DeAraugo's second top-10 single following her number-one hit "Maybe Tonight" after winning series three of Australian Idol. DeAraugo went on to achieve two other top-10 singles with girl group the Young Divas. In 2008, the song was covered by German dance music act Cascada for their second studio album, Perfect Day (2007).
