"Wasted Time" is a single by Fuel, released on 19 June 2007. Written by guitarist Carl Bell, it is the fourth track on their fourth studio album, "Angels & Devils" and is the first single by the band to feature new lead singer Toryn Green. New Fuel drummer Tommy Stewart was unable to perform on the track as he had other obligations to fulfill, so longtime Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee performed drums on the track.

Two versions appear on the album, a "G-mix" mix by producer Scott Humphrey and an "S-mix" mixed by Ben Grosse. While both versions are similar, the "S-mix" features fewer electric guitars than the "G-mix" does.

A video was made to promote the single, although the video wasn't released until September 24, [ [http://www.fuelweb.com/ Official Website] ] several weeks after the single was released to radio. The video features the band playing in the desert.
