The Walls Came Down is the fifth studio album released by country music artist Collin Raye. The album's lead-off single, "I Can Still Feel You", was Raye's fourth and final Number One on the Billboard country charts. Other singles from this album were the Top Five hits "Someone You used to Know" and "Anyone Else", as well as the number 39-peaking "Start Over Georgia", which he co-wrote with his brother Scotty Wray. Although not released as a single, the track "The Eleventh Commandment" was made into a music video, which aired on CMT and TNN (now Spike TV). "Make Sure You've Got It All" was later recorded by Diamond Rio on their 2002 album Completely.

Raye co-produced the album with Paul Worley and Billy Joe Walker, Jr., except for "April Fool", which Worley produced with Ed Seay and John Hobbs.
