Composition

The song contains steel guitar and "ambient strings" in the production. [1] Lyrically, Morgan Wallen recounts having sleepless nights and excessively drinking in an attempt to overcome his sorrow over a past relationship. He deeply regrets ending the relationship with his lover and failing to understand that she was ideal for him, [1] [2] [3] now wanting to rekindle their relationship. [1] [3]

Critical reception

Billboard ranked "Falling Apart" as the eighth best song from I'm the Problem. [3] Alli Patton of Holler praised the production, describing it as "creating a cavernous sound that lends to the overall mood of the despondent song. The arrangement is powerful in its simplicity, with the ability to tell the song's story all on its own". [1]
