Contents

Background

The track started life as an instrumental piece by Masterson, who sent it to Toyah and asked if she would record a vocal for it. In an interview on Gaydar Radio, he said that they "hadn't actually met until the day of recording the vocals. We spoke on email and we recorded the vocals down at Dave Pemberton's studio in Essex. (...) It took about three hours and all done, pretty much, in one take." [1] "Fallen" was released as a standalone digital single in September 2011. In 2020, it appeared as a bonus track on Toyah's retrospective box set Toyah Solo .

Music video

The song's music video was directed and edited by Simon Booth and Dean Stockings.
