Since their formation in 2006, The Falling has toured several countries around the world. Those experiences of working with world-class bands has been an inspiration to them. An increasingly diverse array of foreign bands now come to China, exposing both their uniqueness as well as common features. This has motivated The Falling to innovate and be more diverse in their style.

In the early stage of their development, finding the right band members was the toughest issue. It took one year for them to settle every position, from musicians to the tuner. Now the band has a steady team. Well known for its hardcore style, the band has actually been approached by many sponsoring companies to change their style and add more pop music elements, in order to attract a broader audience. However, band members would rather switch their career than switching their style of music.

Many of the fans of The Falling are also singers and musicians, who are regarded as "friends" by the band. These fans are passionate, direct and persistent, acting as a great support for the band. For instance, at their recent Hong Kong show, many fans from Guangzhou and Shenzhen went to see their performance despite a typhoon hitting the coast. In the end though, the show was forced to cancel because all the performance equipment got soaked by the pouring rain. But the fans still kept waiting for over an hour before the stage was taken away and they had to leave. That passion from fans touched the band a lot and motivated them to created better music.
