On 11 February 2016, Alan Walker published an acoustic version of the song, titled "Faded (Restrung)". The song is performed with a piano and strings, with all the EDM elements taken out. Walker wrote in a note to The Fader that he had decided on an alternative version of "Faded", so as "to highlight other aspects of the song; to present it to another audience who may like Iselin [Solheim]'s voice and the melodies, but can't stand the electronic parts of it." [31]

The music video for the "Restrung" version features Walker, Solheim, and a string ensemble performing in the reactor hall of the dismantled R1, Sweden's first nuclear reactor. [32] [33] The cast wore black hoodies bearing Walker's logo of his stylized initials. The R1 reactor hall is located underground at Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. [33]

The team who created the video for "Faded" returned for the "Restrung" version — Bror Bror was the producer, Rikkard and Tobias Häggbom directed, and Shahab Salehi was credited as an assistant. [34] [35] The filming atmosphere closely resembles that of "Faded"; according to a behind the scenes video of the filming, the "Restrung" video was conceived as a continuation to the original video.

"Fade" on YouTube

"Fade" is an instrumental electro house track produced by Norwegian producer Alan Walker. It was released through his YouTube channel on 17 August 2014 (1 week before his 17th birthday), [154] before being re-released through NoCopyrightSounds 3 months later on 19 November to celebrate that channel's 1 million-subscriber milestone. Fade was featured as the seventh song of the NCS: Uplifting album before its removal. However, it was removed on 12 November 2021 due to Walker's contract with NCS expiring. The remake version of Fade is Faded.

Commercial performance

"Fade" was Walker's first release and became part of the compilation album NCS: Uplifting. In parallel, the songs offered on this album were offered as free downloads on the company's website and appeared as single tracks on music streaming services such as Spotify and Napster. With its royalty-free release, the song received strong distribution, being used in countless web videos. On both the video platform YouTube and portals such as SoundCloud, "Fade" was a huge success, receiving over 433 million views on YouTube alone. It also reached number 18 on the UK Independent Single Breakers Chart [155] and number 3 on the Swedish Heatseekers Chart in Sweden. [156]

Deletion from NCS

The song, which had over 444 million views and was the most popular video on the NCS channel, was removed on 12 November 2021 (one week before the 7th anniversary) due to the expiration of Walker's contract with NCS it was done. This also extends to "Spectre" and "Force". Fade was his seventh track on his NCS: Uplifting album, so that album is also no longer available on his YouTube.

After that, NCS addressed the removal of Walker's tracks from the label on Facebook:

Dear NCS Family,

6 years ago, when NCS was in its infancy, we had the pleasure of meeting and working with an immensely talented artist called Alan Walker. The tracks of his that NCS signed ("Fade", "Spectre" and "Force") performed incredibly well and we have greatly enjoyed playing our part in Alan's growth into one of the most successful producers in the world.

Unfortunately NCS's rights with Alan's tracks have come to an end and it hasn't been possible to agree terms to extend them. This means that we have removed these tracks from the NCS catalogue. This certainly isn't what we wanted, and we tried incredibly hard to avoid this.

We sincerely hope that all the arrangements that we put in place as a label that provides free music for creators will continue to be respected on these tracks in the future.

We wish Alan the best in his future and we shall continue on our mission, providing free music for creators and developing the next generation of NCS artists. [157]

NCS

This was furthermore followed by a response from Walker himself:

Dear Walkers and my extended NCS family,

When I dropped my first track 'Fade' with NCS more than 6 years ago, I never dreamed that my music could bring me to where I am today. I am forever grateful for the opportunity, support and help that Billy and NCS gave me, as they have done with thousands of other creators and producers trying to get their break.

The decision to not renew the agreement with NCS for my old catalogue of songs has nothing to do with not wanting to work with them as a label or YouTube Channel. This is a decision solely about taking control of my own music and creations.

I can assure you that anyone out there who's enjoying 'Force', 'Fade', 'Spectre' in their creations on YouTube will not get a copystrike – not today, not ever!

NCS has played an important part in my life and career – and the extraordinary community of creators have given me friends for life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the joy and excitement you've brought to me and other producers out there.

I wish NCS the very best for the future and will continue to be a loyal subscriber and supporter.

Now it's time for me to write the next chapter. [157]

Re-release from Corite

In 2022, Walker signed with Corite, a Swedish crowdfunding website that allows fans to invest in music projects. Walker raised more than $100,000 from fans for his next musical project and released a compilation EP called Origins, which includes "Fade", "Spectre", and "Force". [158]

Music video

On 23 July 2022, Walker uploaded a new official music video for "Fade". [159] In the video, he walked around his childhood home in Bergen and looked at family photos. He then went to the production studio in his bedroom to view the original Fade files on his laptop. He could see his fellow walkers waiting for him through the window and eventually walked out of the house. The video is part of a new series of official music videos for his former NCS releases, called "Origins". The uploading of these videos to Walker's channel is also not necessarily to make up for the songs that were removed from NCS, but rather as a sign of Walker's intention to "go back to the beginning with the music that started it all".
