"Falling" is a song by British singer-songwriter Alison Moyet, released in October 1993 by Columbia Records as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Essex (1994).

"[6] Dave Jennings of Melody Maker was also critical, calling it an "utterly anonymous ambient-dance offering", on which Moyet's "deep, breathless, libidinous growl of a voice is barely audible".

"[8] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "The striking mix of folk pop and dance sounds like a winning combination for radio.

[11] Adrian Janes of Penny Black Music noted: "...for the most part [Essex] certainly has, at least instrumentally, the kind of bright energy expected in an Ian Broudie production, whether the jaunty folk feel of "Falling" or the dynamic "Lust for Life" rhythm of "So Am I".

"[12] Helena Adams of Reflections of Darkness commented: "Essex starts good through "Falling," a piece that invites to sing along, with commonplace arrangements which nonetheless work to provide an upbeat sensation founded by New Wave.
