It’s Not The Romantic Ballad You Think It Is

“Fall In Love” tells the story of a guy whose girlfriend ended up moving from their hometown to South Carolina, leaving him for another man who put a rock on her finger and built her a house right by the coast. While she’s now living in indulgence, one thing is for sure – her brand-new man doesn’t know her as the narrator did.

Now, the man in the song has become a walking testimony of a broken heart, and this heartbreaking ballad is his confession that should serve as a lesson to many people.

“After you lose that special person you never thought you’d lose, it’s hard to want to give love a second chance,” Zimmerman said about the song. “We felt like we could relate to a lot of people by shining a light on that feeling.”
