Rick Astley version `` When I Fall in Love '' Single by Rick Astley from the album Whenever You Need Somebody B - side `` My Arms Keep Missing You '' Released November 30, 1987 Format CD CS 3 '' 7 '' Recorded Genre Traditional pop Length 3 : 02 Label RCA Songwriter ( s ) Edward Heyman Victor Young Producer ( s ) Stock Aitken Waterman Rick Astley singles chronology `` Whenever You Need Somebody '' ( 1987 ) `` When I Fall in Love '' ( 1987 ) `` My Arms Keep Missing You '' ( 1987 ) `` Whenever You Need Somebody '' ( 1987 ) `` When I Fall in Love '' ( 1987 ) `` My Arms Keep Missing You '' ( 1987 ) Audio sample file help The version by Rick Astley was released in November 30, 1987, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the release of Nat King Cole 's version of the song. This single is mainly remembered for a closely fought contest for UK Christmas number one. Rivals EMI hoping to see their act, Pet Shop Boys, reach number one, re-released the version by Nat King Cole. This led to a slow down of purchases of Astley 's version, allowing Pet Shop Boys to reach the coveted top spot. Despite selling over 250,000 copies and gaining a Silver certification from the BPI, it peaked in the UK at number 2 for two weeks. The re-release by Nat King Cole reached number 4. Since the single was released as a double A-side, the other half of the single was `` My Arms Keep Missing You '', which was successful in its own right in Europe.
