Fall Again was written for Michael Jackson and Jackson recorded a demo of "Fall Again" in 1999 for his album Invincible, but the song was never finished, and therefore did not make the final cut. As the original writer of the song Walter Afanasieff confirmed in January 2000, ‘We worked to the point that we were three-fourths of the way finished, then the incident happened when his son (Prince) got very sick. We’re going to have to reserve a little spot to finish the song.’[6] Robin Thicke was credited as a co-writer and contributed background vocals for this demo. The demo was released on November 16, 2004 as an album track of his limited edition box set - The Ultimate Collection.[7]
Glenn Lewis recorded the song for the soundtrack of the film Maid in Manhattan, which was released on December 10, 2002.[8] This version also featured on a 2003 Universal Music Compilation album - Smooth Jazz Cafe 5.[9]
