Background

The song runs through a downtempo dance beat. The instrumentation involved is that of synth-keyboards, guitars, synthesizer, and drum set. The song was written as a criticism of West Coast consumerism.

Critical response

Alexandra Cahill of Billboard comments on the song calling it "an easy-to-like track with tight harmonies, showcases the duo's readiness to conquer the dancefloor." [1] Starpulse says:

The genre-defying electropop of "Falling Away" flaunts Spencer's production talents: dense layers of spacey synths, vintage keyboards and smart rhythms (in other words, headphone fodder). Together, Spencer and Jessie have a playful dynamic with their call-and-response vocals and indelible, harmonized hooks. "Falling Away" functions as a representation of Jupiter Rising as a whole: smart, insanely catchy and undeniably danceable. [2]

Music video

The music video is available on iTunes. The music video for 'Falling Away,' directed by Andrew Gura, was shot in Los Angeles in November 2008 and released in late January 2009. The group is featured singing in a dark room separated from the other scene of the video, in which a man is dancing through a neighborhood.

Synth-pop is a music genre that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument. It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the Krautrock of bands like Kraftwerk. It arose as a distinct genre in Japan and the United Kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s.
