Fallin' Crazy was written by Joel in 2002, produced in 2003, and remastered at Listen Loud Studios in 2019.
The song is in 4/4 time, with an upbeat tempo of 112 bpm, with verses in the key of B major (g# minor) and choruses in the key of Ab major (f minor). It has a pop rock feel with acoustic and electric guitars, drum loops, and other pop elements. The chorus playful and catchy, with larger electric guitars to contrast the softer verses.
Songwriter's notes: "I was only eighteen years old when I wrote this track, and it was during a period where I loved modulating keys between chorus and verses. This track does a funky modulation into the second verse that I really enjoy. I love the way this track builds up and then breaks back down. It's also pretty dang catchy. --Joel"

LYRICS
I fell in love- I didn’t know it then so,
I acted tough, I wouldn’t let you in but
Then one day… you looked at me this way
I’ll never forget it, baby
Maybe it was real, the way your hair was and
the way you made me feel, I’d love to love you baby
In my mind, I feel it all the time…
I need you to hear me, baby
What I say isn’t lying- you’re so beautiful
You could say I’m just trying to live what I know
All this time we’ve spent fighting
Means nothing when you’re gone…
And I want you to know-
I see you smile- you cause a chain reaction
I picture nights- of you and me and endless passion
I kiss your lips- & feel the attraction baby
I’m fallin’ crazy for your love
It’s not a lie, the way I feel about you babe
I can’t deny, I’ve never been so happy
Holding you, that’s all I need to do…
You’ve gotta believe me, baby
It’s like a dream, but baby dreams have never
Looked so good to me- I feel your body lying
Close to mine, it’s like this every time
You’ve got me fallin’ crazy
What I say isn’t lying- you’re so beautiful
You could say I’m just trying to live what I know
All this time we’ve spent fighting
Means nothing when you’re gone…
And I want you to know-
I see you smile- you cause a chain reaction
I picture nights- of you and me and endless passion
I kiss your lips- & feel the attraction baby
I’m fallin’ crazy for your love
Oh, Oh, Oh,
I’m fallin’ crazy for your love
