"Can't Help Falling in Love" is a song recorded by American singer Elvis Presley for the album Blue Hawaii (). It was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss and published by Gladys Music, Inc.^[2] The melody is based on "Plaisir d'amour",^[4] a popular French love song composed in by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini. The song was initially written for a woman as "Can't Help Falling in Love with Him", which explains the first and third line ending on "in" and "sin" rather than words rhyming with "you".^[5]

"Can't Help Falling in Love" was featured in Presley's film Blue Hawaii. During the following four decades, it has been recorded by numerous other artists, including Bob Dylan on his album Dylan, Tom Smothers, Swedish pop group A-Teens, and the British reggae group UB40, whose version topped the U.S. and UK charts.

Background and release[edit]

Elvis Presley's version of the song topped the British charts in , spending four weeks at no. 1. The single is certified Platinum by the RIAA, for US sales in excess of one million copies. In the United States, the song peaked at No. 2 on the US BillboardHot behind Joey Dee and the Starliters' "Peppermint Twist"^[6] and went to No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for six weeks.^[7][8]

During Presley's late s and s live performances, the song was performed as the show's finale. Most notably, it was also sung in the live segment of his NBC television special, and as the closer for his Global telecast, Aloha from Hawaii. A version with a faster arrangement was the closing number in Presley's final TV special, Elvis in Concert. "Can't Help Falling in Love" was also the last song he performed live, at his concert in Indianapolis at Market Square Arena on 26 June ^[9]

The recording appeared on the CD re-issue Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3 as a bonus track and on the career retrospective collection ELV1S: 30 No. 1 Hits.

In , the song was included on the If I Can Dream album, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Presley's birth. The version uses archival voice recordings of Presley and his singers, backed by new orchestral arrangements performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

UB40 version[edit]

In , British reggae band UB40 recorded the song as the first single from their album Promises and Lies. The song was released in May , in the majority of countries worldwide. It eventually climbed to No. 1 on the US BillboardHot after debuting at No. , and remained there for seven weeks. It was also number one in the United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand.

The song appears on the soundtrack of the movie Sliver,^[27] the trailer for Fools Rush In, and an episode of Hindsight. In the US, and on the Sliver soundtrack, the song title was listed as "Can't Help Falling in Love," rather than what appeared on the record sleeve. The single version of the song also has a slightly different backing rhythm and melody.

The song and band also appear in the film Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Critical reception[edit]

In his review, Rovi Staff from AllMusic noted that "carried by the hit "Can't Help Falling in Love", Promises and Lies finishes UB40's transition from a reggae band to an adult-contemporary band that plays reggae-pop."^[28] Another editor, David Jeffries said the song is "representing the ultra-slick, easy to swallow side of the band".^[29]Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "U.K. dancehall stars indulge in Elvis Presley memories on this first single from the soundtrack to Sharon Stone's new movie, "Sliver"." He added, "Track has a pillowy, midtempo pace that dabbles in island beats and radio-conscious funk. Brassy horns are a jolting, though ultimately pleasing, element in the arrangement. A fun respite from usual top 40 fare."^[30] Marisa Fox from Entertainment Weekly said the song is "this album's equivalent" of their earlier version of Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine", noting that the band "revitalize" it. She noted that "they try some snappy new production tricks", like the "full-blown orchestrations" on the song, adding that "those kinds of enhancements only make the blend that much more infectious."^[31]People described it as a "Rasta-Lite" version.^[32]

A-Teens version[edit]

The song was the A-Teens's first single from their third studio album, Pop 'til You Drop!, as well as for the Lilo & Stitch movie soundtrack, which was originally scheduled to include several Presley tracks, the A-Teens picking it for inclusion in the soundtrack. It was later also featured as a bonus track on their third studio album, New Arrival for the European market. The video had thus tremendous exposure on several television channels, with the A-Teens eventually including the song in their third album. As a result, the song had two music videos, one to promote the Disney movie, the other for the album. It is also shown in the teen pop compilation album, Disney Girlz Rock.

The song reached No. 12 in Sweden, No. 16 in Argentina, and No. 41 in Australia.

Music video[edit]

The video was directed by Gregory Dark and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It had two different versions. The "Disney Version", as the fans named it, features scenes of the movie, and also new scenes of the A-Teens with beach costumes.
