    "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" is a song released by American group Pretty Poison in 1987. It features a sample of the bass from René & Angela's 1985 popular song "I'll Be Good". It was included on the soundtrack to the film Hiding Out, which starred Jon Cryer and came out the same year; the song later appeared on Pretty Poison's debut album of the same name. It was the group's biggest hit single to date, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in late September 1987.[1] Later that same year, the song charted inside the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number eight and remaining in the top 40 for 14 weeks.[2] The single was certified gold by the RIAA on March 9, 1989.[3] In the UK the song entered the Top 100 for two weeks at the end of January 1988 and peaked at number 85.
