Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love,
No, I don't need your number saved in my phone
Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me home
Wanna take off my rings in my California King
Let me get you alone
Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me home
Let's just feel this feelin'
Let's just feel this feelin'
High up as the ceilin'
Let's just, let's just feel this feelin'
Let's just feel this moment
We can make it last
Let's just feel this feelin'
Right now, right now
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love

You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love
I can feel every breath on the edge of my neck
Cigarettes and cologne
Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me home
No, I don't know the time and I don't know what's next
But I know that it's on
Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me home
Let's just feel this feelin'
Let's just feel this feelin'
Try our best to seal it
Let's just, let's just feel this feelin'
Let's just feel this moment
We can make it last
Let's just feel this feelin'
Right now, right now
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love, love

Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love
Before I give my white cup up
Before I give my white girl up
Before I give my half-Dominican girl up, I need real love
I'm on my fourth stripper of the day
I keep a full thoroughbred Jamaican
I'ma find your G-spot like you dropped your location
Man I'ma give all this shit up one day
Get some love from a video vixen on the runway
You can't hold it against a king, baby
You shoulda made me better, what I need
You shoulda upgraded me already
You shoulda made love to me already
I done spent a million on you already
I done bought diamonds for you already
If you love, you can teach me, wanna learn
Take you farther than Jerusalem when it's my turn
We so spiritually connected
We goin' in the right direction
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
Love
You on that faded love, love
Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
You on that faded love
The song "Faded" by Mike WiLL featuring Future is essentially about being lost in the moment with someone you have a physical attraction to, but not necessarily feeling a deep emotional connection with them. The chorus "You on that faded love" refers to being under the influence of drugs and alcohol, which further heightens the physical sensations and lustful connection. The initial refusal to exchange names or numbers shows a lack of interest in anything beyond the present moment of physical pleasure. As the song progresses, Future sings about his love for various types of women, specifically strippers and half-Dominican girls. He acknowledges his hedonistic lifestyle but also expresses a desire for something more substantial and real in his relationships.
The verses contain multiple references to physical touch and a sense of urgency to consume each moment as if it were the last. The line "Let's just feel this feeling, high up as the ceiling" refers to the feeling of being on top of the world and not wanting to come down from the euphoria of the moment. The repetition of "Follow me home" suggests a desire to take things further physically but may also hint at a desire for some sort of emotional connection or intimacy.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for physical pleasure and connection, but also the realization that there is more to relationships than just the physical. The chorus' repetition of "faded love" shows that while the physical sensations may feel enticing in the moment, ultimately it is not enough to sustain a meaningful relationship.
