Released to US radio in April 1994, the song topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. In Canada, the song peaked at number 10 and ended 1994 as the country's 76th-most-successful single. The music video for the song was directed by Samuel Bayer. In 2017, Consequence magazine ranked the song number 245 (out of 354) on their list of "Every Alternative Rock No. 1 Hit from Worst to Best".[1]
Singer Glen Phillips said,
"Fall Down" reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in June 1994 and remained there for six weeks before being supplanted by the Offspring's "Come Out and Play" in July. It also reached the top five of the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, peaking at number five, and was a top-40 Billboard Hot 100 hit, reaching number 33.
