About Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)

"Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)" is a song performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith that appeared on the band's 1997 album Nine Lives. The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Glen Ballard, who had signed on to produce Nine Lives. Although he was dropped from the role halfway through production and replaced by Kevin Shirley, Ballard was still credited for his contributions to the album; he also co-wrote "Pink" with Tyler and Perry and "Taste of India" with Tyler and Richard Supa. Released as a single in February 1997, the song topped the Spanish Singles Chart and reached number two in Canada for four weeks. It also topped the UK Rock Chart and the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Elsewhere, the song peaked at number seven in Finland and reached the top 30 in Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. On the US Billboard Hot 100, it reached number 35, becoming the second highest-charting song from the album on that chart, after "Pink". more »
