"Faden Away" is a song by California-based funk duo 7 Days of Funk, released as the lead single of their eponymous debut studio album. The song premiered on October 8, 2013, on Stones Throw Records' SoundCloud page and was made available at the Stones Throw Store and iTunes Music Store on October 15, 2013. Stones Throw released "Faden Away" along with "Hit Da Pavement" on a cassingle on December 10, 2013, with both vocal and instrumental versions. The cassette was given away exclusively with the first week's orders of the LP and 45 box set.

"Faden Away", written by Calvin Broadus and Damon Riddick, was recorded at The Compound in Los Angeles, California in 2013. The song, mixed by Shon Lawon and Cole M.G.N., was produced by Riddick under his stage name Dâm-Funk and the vocals were performed by Broadus under his latest moniker Snoopzilla. The song also features background vocals from Shon Lawon and Val Young.

Snoop discovered that Dâm-Funk had an instrumental track called "Fadin" from his 2012 EP I Don't Wanna Be a Star!. Snoop wrote the vocals for the instrumental and created "Faden Away" based intimately on things he experienced in his life. "It's just real," Dâm-Funk told Life+Times. "A lot of brothers or sisters can relate to fading away from a relationship and that's what's so cool about working with him. He knew how to interpret things without me telling him. He took that one word I used as an instrumental title and created a whole concept about it. He did all the vocals. I did all music. It was 50-50."
