“Can’t Help Falling in Love” is an iconic 1961 romantic ballad originally recorded by Elvis Presley for the film Blue Hawaii. Adapted from the 1784 French classical piece “Plaisir d’amour,” the song uses simple yet profound imagery—like a river flowing to the sea—to capture the irresistible and inevitable nature of falling in love. Over the decades, it has become a universal anthem of devotion, reimagined across diverse genres by artists like UB40, Twenty One Pilots, and Kina Grannis.
