Groovy! "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" is a dance-pop song released by the American group Pretty Poison in 1987. It was included on the soundtrack to the film Hiding Out, which starred Jon Cryer and came out the same year; the song later appeared on Pretty Poison's debut album, Catch Me I'm Falling (1988). It was the group's biggest hit single to date, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in late September 1987. Later that same year, the song charted inside the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number eight and remaining in the top forty for fourteen weeks. The single was certified gold by the RIAA on March 9, 1989. In the UK the song entered the Top 100 for two weeks at the end of January 1988 and peaked at no. 85. The B-side contained a shorter "Spanish Mix" vocal. A re-recorded version of "Nighttime" became their second Hot 100 hit, climbing to number 36. An interpolation of "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" was used on Joss Stone's song "Proper Nice", taken from her 2007 album Introducing Joss Stone. This song is featured in the movie "Kickin it Old Skool". In 2009, VH1 ranked "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" number 47 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s. Pretty Poison had several more dance chart entries, the most recent being a new version of "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" which hit #43 in 1998.
