In an interview with Zane Lowe, Harry describes the feeling “Falling” represents:

I had started to feel myself becoming someone I didn’t want to be, and that was really hard.

Harry brings his agony to life in this heartbreaking ballad. Drawing on themes from preceding tracks on Fine Line, he allows the listener to fall with him down from the highs present in earlier tracks
such as “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You.”
