"Can't Help Falling in Love" is a song written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss and published by Gladys Music, Inc.[1] The melody is based on "Plaisir d'amour",[3] a popular French love song composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini. The song was initially written from the perspective of a woman as "Can't Help Falling in Love with Him", which explains the first and third line ending on "in" and "sin" rather than words rhyming with "you".[4]
Recorded by singer and actor Elvis Presley, it was part the album, Blue Hawaii (1961). There was the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii which inspired the album. This song subsequently was recorded in the 1960s by the likes of Perry Como, the Lennon Sisters, Doris Day, Patti Page, Andy Williams, Al Martino and Keely Smith.[5] Through the decades, European artists, including a Swedish group named A-Teens, and a British singing group named UB40 recorded their own versions. Newer versions continue to be recorded by newer artists, such as Kacey Musgraves who recorded a version in 2022 for a movie about Elvis Presley.[5]
This song was one of the greatest songs of all-time by Rolling Stone Magazine. In 2012 it was ranking at #403.[6]
