Herbstritt had composed the melody and chords for the chorus and a chord progression for the verse, which he took to his friend Steve Dorff. Harry Lloyd and Gloria Sklerov completed the lyrics. The song was originally recorded by the Carpenters and later covered by Dusty Springfield, whose version inspired Anne Murray to record her own cover.

On the Carpenters ' official web site, Richard Carpenter notes that he felt the song was perfect for his sister Karen 's voice and felt their version had hit - single potential. However, A&M Records decided not to release it because it was considered too long for Top 40 radio stations to play at the time ( just over 4 minutes ) and could not be abridged. In 2004, Richard Carpenter added a remixed `` I Just Fall in Love Again '' to the Carpenters ' 2 - disc compilation, Gold : 35th Anniversary Edition.

Anne released her version as a single, and it topped Billboard magazine 's Country, and Adult Contemporary charts for three weeks, while reaching number 11 on the Cash Box Top 100 and number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was the first of three successive number one Country hits and four consecutive number one Adult Contemporary hits during 1979 and 1980. Though Murray loves the song, she is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits as saying she was surprised at its success on the Country charts, as she did n't feel the song sounded very `` country. '' Nevertheless, Billboard ranked it as the number one Country hit of 1979. Anne included the song as a posthumous duet with Dusty Springfield on her own 2008 album Duets : Friends & Legends.
