The song is a piano ballad with lyrics seemingly calling "for the divine influence of a higher spiritual power".

[6][7] Released on November 22, 2019, "Fall on Me" became popular among hot adult contemporary radio programmers and was one of the most added HAC songs in mid-December that year.

[9] According to Idolator's Mike Wass "Fall on Me" is "every bit as touching and restrained" as "Say Something" — Aguilera and A Great Big World's 2013 hit — was.

[14] The video starts out with Ian Axel and Chad King entering a winter wonderland where a piano sits next to a tree as snow falls.

It portrays Aguilera as an ethereal Queen of Spring and once her verse hits she magically makes an old tree and grove bloom with life after winter and continues singing with cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind.
