Urban originally had written the song for his use but was later asked by produces if the song could be given to Harmon as his potential winner's single. Urban supporting their motive gave the single Harmon as his coronation song. Urban described the single as a "bluesy jam which allowed Harmon to show off his falsetto". Harmon first heard the song the day after making Idol's top three. The song was released for sale a day prior to the Grand Final performance night on April 7, 2016.
Falling
Trent Harmon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's when I look at you and right on cue, your body moves
It's like it's putting on a show, yeah
Got to get to me, you pretty little tease
I just keep, I just keep
Falling for you, baby
You just keep killing me one kiss at a time
Mmm, your sweet love keeps calling
And I just keep falling
Eye to eye, your skin on mine
You slide your fingers through my hair and tell me "take it slow"
And I know what you want
And so I go down on my knees; I'm here to please
I just keep, I just keep
Falling for you, baby
You just keep killing me one kiss at a time
Ain't nothing now that's gonna save me
Ooh, your sweet love keeps calling
And I just keep falling
It's crazy, baby, what you do to me
There's magic in your kind of gravity
And any fool can see why I keep, I just keep
Falling for you, baby
You just keep killing me one kiss at a time
Ain't nothing now that's gonna save me
Ooh, your sweet love keeps calling
And I just, I just
I just keep falling for you, baby
You just keep killing me one kiss at a time
Ain't nothing now that's gonna save me
Ooh, your sweet love keeps calling
I just, I just keep falling
