Fade is an instrumental electronic track by Norwegian producer Alan Walker, first released in 2014 through the NoCopyrightSounds label, which made it widely available for creators to use in videos. It later became the basis for his vocal hit Faded, but the original instrumental kept circulating in edits, gaming videos and short-form content because of its simple, memorable melody. The low-quality version heard here reflects how the track was often ripped, re-uploaded and compressed across video platforms, giving it a second life as a nostalgic sound for creators who grew up hearing it online.
