The song was released on November 5, 2015 by Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings as the third single from his second studio album, The Incredible True Story.[1] The track was written and produced by Logic himself.

Background

Logic said in an interview with Genius that "“Fade Away” is about accepting death and that no matter who you are, what historical figure, any of that, one day your name will be forgotten. Whether a comet hits the Earth or we all repopularize one day, you'll be forgotten. Do something for you before you fade away."[3][4]

Versions

In December of 2022, Logic appeared on Norah Jones Is Playing Along podcast, where Norah Jones and Logic collaborated on several of his songs.[5] Their version of "Fade Away" was shared to YouTube and Spotify, among other sites.[6][7]
