American single label

"Catch Me Now I'm Falling" is a song written by Ray Davies and first released by The Kinks as the second track on their 1979 album Low Budget. Written as a criticism of America's allies, the song depicts the fall of Captain America as a symbol of the United States' dire circumstances at the time. The song features multiple solos on different instruments as well as a riff similar to "Jumpin' Jack Flash".

The song saw single release in the United States and in the Netherlands. In the U.S. it had 'Low Budget' on the B-side, while in the Netherlands the B-side was 'In a Space'. The song has since made appearances on compilations and live albums.
