"Can't Stop Fallin' into Love" is a song recorded by American rock band Cheap Trick which appeared as the lead single on the album Busted. It was written by lead singer Robin Zander, guitarist Rick Nielson and bassist Tom Petersson. The single was released in 1990 and peaked at number 12 in the US.

The single and "Busted" album was an attempt to capitalize on the success of the similar style found on the band's previous album Lap of Luxury. Epic Records were disappointed in the peak position of the record. This would be Cheap Trick's last single to peak in the top 40.

The song was demoed in Milwaukee, and featured blues singer/songwriter Harvey Scales on vocals. Soon after, Zander took a copy of the demo to Rod Stewart. Although Stewart expressed interest in recording the song for his upcoming album, Epic Records blocked the deal after expressing their wish for the band to record their own version.

A music video was created for the single, featuring regularly on MTV.

A live version was recorded for the 2001 live set "Silver".

The single was released on 7" vinyl, 12" vinyl and CD single. The 12" vinyl and a limited edition CD single were released in the UK only, with a 12" vinyl also for the Netherlands. The single was titled "Radio Mix" with the mix being the same length as the album version, although especially adapted from the album version for radio/the single.

The b-side "You Drive, I'll Steer" was featured as on the same album, written by Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander.

The 12" vinyl released in the Netherlands featured the extra track "I Can't Understand It", also from the "Busted" album, written by Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander. On the 12" vinyl released in the UK, the "LP Version" of the song was used, along with the b-side and the band's 1988 American chart-topper "The Flame", written by Nick Graham and Robert Mitchell. The UK CD single used the same track listing but the a-side was titled "Radio Mix".

Both tracks were produced by Richie Zito who had previously produced the band's 1988 album "Lap of Luxury" as well as the entire "Busted" album.
