"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.[3][4][5] It was written by band frontman Adam Levine, with production of the song helmed by Mike Elizondo, Mark "Spike" Stent and Maroon 5.[1]
Background
"Not Falling Apart" features a "whisper croon" from singer Adam Levine.[6] 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".[6][7][8] 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.[9] "Not Falling Apart" has been played very few times live by the band. It made its live debut in late 2005,[10] 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.[11] The remix peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2009.[4][3]
Charts
The remix of the song debuted at No. 34 on the Billboard Dance Club chart on February 7, 2009.[12] It peaked at No. 3 on April 4 of that year during a 13-week stay on the chart.[13]
