Fallin' in Love is the third studio album by the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and their first for Playboy Records where they signed to a year before (additionally, it took them a year to secure another record deal after they were dropped from Dunhill Records). The band's vocalist and guitarist, Dan Hamilton, wrote the majority of the material for this album (some of which he co-wrote with his wife, Ann). Drummer Alan Dennison also contributed his songwriting abilities for this album with "Barroom Blues" and "Love Is" (the latter of which he co-wrote with the Hamiltons). The only cover on this album is Ellas McDaniel's composition of "Who Do You Love."
Three singles were lifted from this album: the title track (which was not just the only #1 Pop hit for the band themselves but also the only #1 Pop hit for the Playboy label), "Winners and Losers," and "Everyday Without You."
Both this album and their next Playboy album Love & Conversation were released together in October 2005 as The Playboy Years.
