It’s a song that resonates on a universal level, exploring the complexities of human emotion with both honesty and tenderness.
Speaking about the track, King explains: "’Fade Away’ is about being let down and letting people down. It’s about forgiving yourself and others, and facing the hard stuff so you can move on. The song is about faith, hope, and finding light in the darkest places—it’s for the underdogs and those who are hurting, reminding them that the future is still ours, no matter how tough things get."
