"Fallin'" is a song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield,[1] that was recorded by Connie Francis on 2 September 1958 at Metropolitan Studio (NYC) in a session produced by Morton "Morty" Kraft who also conducted.
[2] The same team had been responsible for Francis' precedent single "Stupid Cupid" which had returned Francis to the Top 20 after the disappointing #36 peak of "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry" the follow-up to her breakout hit "Who's Sorry Now?".
Francis recalls Bobby Darin telling her "on 'Stupid Cupid' you were yourself – now [on "Fallin'"] you're imitating me and it's not going to make it big.
[3] "Fallin'" was an upbeat rock and roll song in the same vein as "Stupid Cupid" but failed to approach its success peaking at #30.
Francis' version received enough airplay to reach #88 on the Cash Box Best Selling Singles chart.
