About Falling Down

"Falling Down" is a song by American rappers Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. It was included as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Lil Peep's second studio album Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 (2018). The song was posthumously released as the lead single from the album on September 19, 2018. The track was produced by IIVI, John Cunningham, and Mike Will Made It. "Falling Down" was written by Lil Peep and singer iLoveMakonnen under the title "Sunlight on Your Skin", with XXXTentacion also receiving a writing credit for the final version. Following Lil Peep's death from an Fentanyl–Xanax overdose, XXXTentacion encountered a snippet of the song on YouTube and contacted iLoveMakonnen to record a verse for it. This new version peaked at number thirteen on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Lil Peep's highest-charting single in the United States. The single has since been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The conception and release of the posthumous collaboration was condemned by surviving members of Lil Peep's group GothBoiClique. They revealed that there had been unresolved conflict between the two artists, allegedly stemming from XXXTentacion's history of violence towards women.

'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Yo let's do that song for Peep
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So 'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down, yeah

'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (falling down)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (I'm not around)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town (out of town)
(Ooh, ooh)
So 'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
(Ooh, ooh)

Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fighting

'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (falling down)
(Ooh, ooh)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (I'm not around)
(Ooh, ooh)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
(Ooh, ooh)
So 'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
(Ooh, ooh)

His name will live, brother
Bro, I got, I feel hella shitty because it's like, yo
Like, if I would have known he was so cool
And it's like, yo, if I would have watched interviews sooner, bro, we were so alike
It's unfortunate because it's like, yo, when people die, that's when you're there, you know?
'Cause your remorse kinda makes you check 'em out

Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fighting

'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (falling down)
(Ooh, ooh)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (I'm not around)
(Ooh, ooh)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town (out of town)
(Ooh, ooh)
'Ko, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
(Ooh, ooh)
