“Fallin'” marks Why Don’t We’s first release since they began their eight-month hiatus at the start of 2020, following their 2019 project in which they released a single each month.
The single was released at 12PM ET on September 29, 2020 just two days after the band’s four-year anniversary.

[Verse 1: Jonah]
Caught in the moment, not even thinkin' twice
Everything's frozen, nothing but you and I
Can't stop my heart from beating
Why do I love this feeling?
Make me a promise, tell me you'll stay with me
If I'm bein' honest, I don't know where this leads
But that's the only question
Baby, don't keep me guessin'
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel]
Ooh
You are my muse
I feel so reckless
Oh, you're makin' me, makin' me, makin' me give in
[Chorus: Zach, All]
Oh, baby, I can feel the rush of adrenaline
I'm not scared to jump if you want to
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybе we'll just keep fallin'
I can feel the rush of adrenalinе
I'm not scared to jump 'cause I want you
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe we'll just keep fallin'
[Verse 2: Corbyn]
When I'm around ya, I feel it in my veins
There's something about ya that's makin' me go insane
We have a storm to weather
My little sweet surrender
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel]
Ooh (Woah)
You are my muse (You are my muse)
I feel so reckless
Oh, you're makin' me, makin' me, makin' me give in
[Chorus: All]
Oh, baby, I can feel the rush of adrenaline
I'm not scared to jump if you want to
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe we'll just keep fallin'
I can feel the rush of adrenaline
I'm not scared to jump 'cause I want you
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe we'll just keep fallin'
[Post-Chorus: All, Corbyn]
(Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin') Fall, fallin'
(Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin') Fallin'
(Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin') Fallin'
Maybe, we'll just keep fallin'
[Bridge: Jack, Jack & Daniel]
Ooh
You are my muse
I feel so reckless
Oh, you're makin' me, makin' me, makin' me, makin' me
Makin' me, makin' me, makin' me give in
[Chorus: All, Jack]
Oh, baby, I can feel the rush of adrenaline
I'm not scared to jump if you want to
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe we'll just keep fallin' (Just keep fallin')
I can feel the rush of adrenaline (Adrenaline, ooh)
I'm not scared to jump 'cause I want you (I want you)
Let's just fall in love for the hell of it
Maybe we'll just keep fallin' (We'll just keep fallin')
[Outro: All, Jack]

Lyrically, I was thinking of a girl. When you’re thinking about committing to someone, you get those butterflies. It can be terrifying to get into a relationship, because we’re always moving around so much. Sometimes, you can’t help falling though.

Yes! In a YouTube live-stream thirty minutes prior to the track’s release, Marais and Besson confirmed that the song sampled a Kanye West track.
This track was “Black Skinhead” from West’s Yeezus album, released in 2013.
Yeah, the Kanye drums, he cleared the sample which was really really cool. Hi...
In an attempt to rebrand themselves as an established band by playing instruments and writing their own music, the group gave a nod to the music video for “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen.
