"Falling Apart (Right Now)" comes from Cruel Country, Wilco's 2022 album, and it's a Jeff Tweedy song start to finish: he wrote the words and the music, sings it and strums the acoustic guitar. Around him the band fills in the corners, with Nels Cline on baritone guitar, Pat Sansone on electric, John Stirratt on bass, Glenn Kotche on drums and percussion and Mikael Jorgensen at the piano, while Sansone and Stirratt add harmonies behind Tweedy.
Tom Schick produced it with Tweedy, then engineered and mixed it himself, with Mark Greenberg assisting. It had staying power, too, still turning up on countdowns years after the album's release.
