"Wasted" is a song by Dutch DJ and record producer Tiësto. The song features vocals from American singer Matthew Koma who co-wrote the song with Tiësto and Australian production duo Twice as Nice. "Wasted" was first released on 25 April 2014 by PM:AM Recordings as the second single from Tiësto's fifth studio album, A Town Called Paradise. It was featured in 2014 action comedy film 22 Jump Street.

The song was announced by Tiësto in early April. A lyric video for the track was later uploaded to the artist's YouTube channel on 13 April 2014.

British radio station BBC Radio 1 opted to play an alternative version of the song titled "Naked", which replaced every occurrence of the term "wasted" with "naked".

The song's accompanying music video was released on 25 April 2014. It runs for approximately three minutes and twenty-one seconds and is directed by Tabitha Denholm. The video features six women (Taylor Godfrey, Allegra Carpenter, Kassi Smith...) enjoying themselves. Tiësto and Matthew Koma are seen starring on a TV show called The Tiësto Show where Koma is also seen singing the song.

In the United Kingdom, it became the first single which was released in 2014, to top the UK Dance Chart without topping the UK Singles Chart. As of 1 August 2014, "Wasted" was certified Silver (200,000 copies) in the United Kingdom and as of 15 June 2015, "Wasted" was certified Platinum (1,000,000 copies) in the United States.
