"Faded Love" is a song recorded by American singer

Stargate. It was released commercially for digital download via RCA Records on February 12, 2018, as the second single from Tinashe's third studio album, Joyride
(2018).

Background

The song was first revealed in a picture Tinashe posted on social media on January 12, 2018.

Beats 1: "'Faded Love' is kind of more muted, it's a little bit more R&B, it's a little more sensual, mid-tempo."[5] Talking about working with Future, she said: "Future's on my first album and that was one of my favorite songs on the first album, but I felt like it was pretty underrated. So I was like, 'It would be perfect to have him back again.' I thought this song was really an interesting song to put him on because it was a little more unexpected, a little bit more muted, and not necessarily like a trap music, or something that would be obvious. It's a kind of new flavor."[6][7][8][9] In another interview with AOL, Tinashe said: "The song's vibe is just so special. It's this muted, almost careless tone. It has this darkness to it, which I love. I was really drawn to those elements and even how the instrumentation with its muted drums. To me, the song really represents that feeling of being indifferent to love."[10]

Critical reception

Madeline Roth of

Idolator regarded the song as "a return to the slinky hip-hop/pop fusion of Aquarius", which follows the trend started with "No Drama".[15]
