"Falling" is a 1986 song by American singer Melba Moore. The track was released as the third single following "A Little Bit More," her number one R&B song with Freddie Jackson. The song is noteworthy for Moore's vocal dynamics, including a high note that she holds for nearly 20 seconds, ranking among the longest sustained notes in recorded pop music. Just like Moore's previous single, "Falling" peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, for one week.
