"Faded" is a pop song and international debut single by Canadian boy band soulDecision. It incorporates soul, 1980s pop music and hip hop. The song was written by Adam Stillman, who described the song as "being intoxicated and letting one's object of affection know how you feel." The song was very successful, reaching #1 in Canada [1] and being nominated for song of the year at 2001 Juno Awards.
Versions
The song has three versions: one with the beginning lyrics "When I get you all alone, I'm gonna take off all your clothes"; an edited version with "When I get you all alone, I'm gonna move in nice and close"; and a third version featuring a verse by rapper Thrust.
