"Catch My Fall" is a song by Billy Idol from his 1983 studio album Rebel Yell. It became the album's fourth and final single (released in 1984). It was written by Idol and produced by Keith Forsey.

Critical reception[edit]

Billboard said that "Sharp dance tracks provide the pulse" and that Idol uses a "low-key melodic vocal" comparable to his vocal performance in "Eyes Without a Face."[1]

In a review of the 1988 UK single re-release, Kevin Rowland of Record Mirror described "Catch My Fall" as a "tough song with a good build" and also praised the "good production and playing".[2]
