"If I Should Fall Behind" is the still center of Lucky Town, the tenth album Bruce Springsteen released in 1992: a love song dedicated to Patti Scialfa, his second wife and his bandmate, and one he counts among the best he has written about love.
Springsteen produced it with Jon Landau and Chuck Plotkin, Toby Scott recorded it, Gary Mallaber plays drums and Bob Clearmountain mixed. Europe and Australia got it as a Columbia single, on seven-inch and CD. It never made a dent on the charts, but it turned into a fan favorite and drew warm notices, and Rolling Stone later ranked it 41st among Springsteen's greatest songs, likening it to a hymn.
