"Fiction" is the debut single and first maxi-single by Japanese rock band Coldrain. It was released on November 5, 2008 as the lead single from their debut studio album Final Destination.
Before this single, the band had recorded and handed out demo CDs containing early recordings of "Painting" and "My Addiction". To help spread their name, they handed out demos of this record around Nagoya to help encourage people to go to their shows. "Fiction" was the only song off this maxi-single to be included on Coldrain's debut studio album Final Destination. However, the song was remastered for the album to produce a different sound to what it was on the maxi single version.
Later on in his career, frontman Masato Hayakawa stated that when making this record he did not think they would ever get noticed or succeed because of the quality and chemistry of them all as a band. He also stated that they were signed to a major label far too early in their lifespan.
In 2024, the song was remastered and re-released as part of Final Destination (XV Re:Recorded), which was re-recorded for the album's fifteenth anniversary.
