The song was recorded in three to eight hours with the intention of being the B-side for "Lies" but producer Ian Molly Meldrum (under the pseudo Willie Everfinish) realised "it was too good to be B-side".^[1][2]

Recording

Engineer Tony Cohen said, "There's no snare because [drummer] Rick Brewer forgot to bring it. Everyone dropped a trip. It was midnight by the time we arrived at Rick's, so we threw one down his throat and were back at AAV within the hour. By nine o'clock that morning, "Don't Fall in Love" was done. We played it to Molly. He said, 'Yeah, that great.'"^[3]
