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 intrusion on the master tape as a happy accident, rather than re-record or edit the recording {{Citation needed}}. | 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.

In this song, Rivers ironically refers to himself as "little old 3 chord me", despite utilizing every root note on the fretboard. The numerous chord progressions and key changes in the song make it one of the most difficult to recreate live, evidenced by Cuomo's comments before and after performing the song live from ''[[The Lion and the Witch]]'' EP. Before starting the song, Cuomo facetiously says, "I'd like to ask for the Lord's help in guiding us through the performance of this next song. Please, God!" He then rejoices at the completion of the song, exclaiming, "Yeah! We didn't fuck it up! We kicked ass! We redeemed ourselves. We displayed our superiority to the multitudes." | In this song, Rivers ironically refers to himself as "little old 3 chord me", despite utilizing every root note on the fretboard.
