"'''Free to Fall'''" is a song by American singer [[Debbie Harry]] from her second solo studio album, ''[[Rockbird]]'' (1986). It was released as the second single in the United States and the United Kingdom. Suffering from lack of record company promotion, the single failed to chart on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] or any other significant U.S. chart, and peaked at number 46 on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. The B-side to the single, "[[Feel the Spin]]", was a previous U.S. dance hit from the soundtrack to the film ''[[Krush Groove]]''.

The line "...sinking in the sea of love" was used previously in a Blondie song, "Man Overboard", from the album ''[[Blondie (album)|Blondie]]'' (1976).
