Not Falling Apart

"Not Falling Apart" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5 from the group's second studio album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007). Although the original version wasn't released as a single, a remix of the song was released as a single and charted at number 3 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It was written by band frontman Adam Levine, with production of the song helmed by Mike Elizondo, Mark "Spike" Stent and Maroon 5.

Background

"Not Falling Apart" features a "whisper croon" from singer Adam Levine. Like many early Maroon 5 songs, "Not Falling Apart" is about heartbreak. The instrumentation in the verse of the song has been compared to the Police's song, "Every Breath You Take". A separate song with the same name was recorded while the band were called Kara's Flowers. This song was featured on the EP Stagg Street Recordings. "Not Falling Apart" has been played very few times live by the band. It made its live debut in late 2005, making it one of the first songs from the album performed live (the first being "Can't Stop").

Remix

A version of the song, which was remixed by Dutch producer Tiësto, was featured on Call and Response: The Remix Album and released as a promotional single in the Netherlands and the USA. The remix peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2009.

Charts

The remix of the song debuted at No. 34 on the Billboard Dance Club chart on February 7, 2009. It peaked at No. 3 on April 4 of that year during a 13-week stay on the chart.
