Free Fallin was released in 1989 as a single from Tom Petty's solo debut album Full Moon Fever, co written by Petty and Jeff Lynne. It became one of Petty's signature songs, known for its Los Angeles references and simple, singalong chorus. Decades later the chorus was clipped for online edits, where the literal words free and fallin make it a ready punchline for jumps, slips, flight takeoffs and travel sequences, keeping the classic rock hook in circulation with a new generation of listeners.
