"Fallin'" is a collaboration between Scottish power pop band Teenage Fanclub and American alternative hip hop trio De La Soul. It was released in early 1994.[2] The song was recorded for the soundtrack to the action film Judgment Night, which featured other collaborations between well-known rock, metal and hip hop groups.[3] The chorus was sampled from the song "Free Fallin'" from Tom Petty's 1989 solo album Full Moon Fever.[4]

Music video
