"Falling" is a 1986 song by American singer Melba Moore. The track was released as the third single following "A Little Bit More," her number one R&B song with Freddie Jackson. The song is noteworthy for Moore's vocal dynamics, including a high note that she holds for nearly 20 seconds, ranking among the longest sustained notes in recorded pop music.
