"Falling for You" was written in spring of [[1996]], toward the end of the recording cycle for ''Pinkerton''. The [[Catalog O' Riffs]] lists the song as having been written or demoed on [[March 20]] of that year, and working lyric sheets for the song appear in ''[[The Pinkerton Diaries]]'' dated [[April 14]] and [[May 23]]. The song was likely the penultimate song written for the album (before "[[Butterfly]]"). | "Falling for You" was written in spring of [[1996]], toward the end of the recording cycle for ''Pinkerton''.

The previous track, "[[Pink Triangle]]", transitions seamlessly into "Falling for You" (the first such Weezer song to do so). At the beginning of the track, a woman's voice can be heard saying, in Korean, "어는 회사작품이지요" ("What company makes this product?"). During the recording sessions, Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference, of what sounded like a woman speaking an Asian language. Considering the themes of the album, Rivers felt it was divine intervention, and left the instrusion on the master tape as a happy accident, rather than re-record or edit the recording. | The previous track, "[[Pink Triangle]]", transitions seamlessly into "Falling for You" (the first such Weezer song to do so).

Though not confirmed, the lyrics about playing a tune on the cello may be based on a real event. In ''[[The Pinkerton Diaries]]'', the lyrics for "Falling for You" precede a cello composition written by Cuomo for a woman with whom he was acquainted, referred to only as "[[B.G.]]". In a journal excerpt the book, Cuomo laments "exposing" B.G. on ''Pinkerton''. | Though not confirmed, the lyrics about playing a tune on the cello may be based on a real event.
