'"They Call It Falling for a Reason"' is a song written by Matraca Berg and Jim Collins. It was originally recorded by American country artist Trisha Yearwood and first appeared on her 2007 studio album, 'Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love.' In 2008, it was released as the third single from the album. It reached a charting position on the 'Billboard' country survey and received positive reviews from critics.

Background and content



According to 'Billboard' magazine, "They Call It Falling for a Reason" describes the feeling a person has when they first fall in love with someone, "that spine-tingling rush that takes ones breath away and makes head and heart spin." The song was composed by Matraca Berg and Jim Collins. Berg also wrote a second track for the album which the song appeared on. Yearwood had previously recorded several additional compositions by Berg as well. The track was recorded and mixed at three studios: Compass, Rukkus Room and Sound Emporium. The sessions were produced by Garth Fundis, Yearwood's long-time record producer.

Critical reception



"They Call It Falling for a Reason" received positive reviews from critics and writers. When reviewing 'Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love', Thom Jurek of Allmusic praised the song, calling it traditional and developing a connection with the listener: "it dawns on the listener that this record is special, rooted deeply in the country tradition but not shying away from the contemporary rocking sound of it, either. This is another cooker, and it's so full of a lust for life, what with those guitars playing off one another and Yearwood pushing herself in a way she never has." Kevin John Coyne of 'Country Universe' gave the single an "A" rating in his review: A well-written, expertly performed and tastefully produced single that showcases Yearwoods incomparable vocal talents without getting in the way of the songs lyrics. The lyrics mention trapeze acts. 'Billboard' magazine praised Yearwood's voice on the track: "Yearwood turns in a gorgeous, engaging vocal performance, shimmering with sassy charm."

Release and chart performance



"They Call It Falling for a Reason" was originally released on Yearwood's studio album, 'Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love.' The project was issued on November 13, 2007, via Big Machine Records. It was Yearwood's first album and single releases with the label.
