Wikipedia article
"'Why They Call It Falling'" is a song written by Don Schlitz and Roxie Dean, and recorded by American country music artist Lee Ann Womack. It was released in April 2001 as the third single from her third studio album, 'I Hope You Dance'; it peaked at number 13 on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks.
Critical reception
Editors at 'Billboard' called the song "A stunning ballad that showcases the chanteuse's heart-in-throat vocals." They also said, "It's a savvy lyric, and Womack's tender, vulnerable delivery perfectly complements the song. Add to that Mark Wright's production, which keeps everything swirling and swelling around her vocals, and it's a small sonic masterpiece. Womack continues to distinguish herself as the most compelling young female vocalist in country music."'Billboard' Single Spotlight Review - Lee Ann Womack (April 14, 2001)
