Music video

In an interview published October 19, 2011, Cook discussed the planned video treatment for "Fade into Me," stating: "The content of the video, I wanted to showcase how we are live. I feel like it’s really easy sometimes to throw a tie on, and comb your hair, and put together this really sweet storyline; and I think “Fade into Me” could have definitely taken that angle and it would have worked. I wanted this video to be kind of a no frills, no pretense kind of look at us on the road. It’s a lot of live footage, really just for lack of a better way to phrase it, it’s more of a day in the life kind of thing.". [2] The video (directed by Christopher Sims) debuted November 1, 2011, on VEVO.

Critical reception

Scott Shelter of Popcrush wrote that the song "is not the most imaginative song we've ever heard, but its honest, sincere message should resonate with listeners." [3]
