"Falls on Me" was the second single off Natural Selection, Fuel's third album, following "Won't Back Down", which had first turned up on the Daredevil soundtrack. Michael Beinhorn produced it, and he gives the band's post-grunge crunch a glossy, wide-screen finish: guitars that swell rather than snarl, and a slow-building chorus made for holding lighters aloft.

It was the kind of power ballad that could live on both sides of the dial. Rock stations pushed it into the top 10 of the Mainstream Rock chart, MTV gave it a fair amount of play, and it crossed over to pop and adult radio, reaching 13 on the Mainstream Top 40 and 52 on the Hot 100 early in 2004.
