“Wasted Time” is a song by American rock band Eagles, released in 1976 as the third track on their fifth studio album, Hotel California. Written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, the song is a sweeping, melancholy ballad that explores themes of heartbreak, regret, and emotional exhaustion. Background Hotel California marked a high point for Eagles, both commercially and artistically, and “Wasted Time” stands out as one of its most emotionally resonant tracks.
