"Fallen" is a song by American singer Mya, released as the second and final single from her third studio album, Moodring (2003). Written by Rich Shelton, Kevin Veney, Loren Hill, and Leonard Huggins, the mid-tempo track contains excerpts from The Pharcyde's 1995 song "Runnin'", which itself samples Luiz Bonfá's 1963 song "Saudade Vem Correndo", and lyrically addresses a woman falling head over heels in love with someone.
Despite generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who complimented Mya's voice and the song's arrangements, "Fallen" underperformed on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent two non-consecutive weeks at its peak of number 51. It fared better on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, reaching number thirty-five. Due to its lackluster chart performance stateside, the single was not released internationally. "Fallen" remains Mya's last single to chart on the Hot 100, as well as her final single released under Interscope Records.
The song's accompanying music video, directed by Darren Grant and filmed in Toronto, featured Mýa stalking a potential lover. The video made its world premiere on BET's Access Granted in October 2003. "Fallen" and its Zone 4 remix featuring rapper Chingy were included on the soundtrack to the 2004 films A Cinderella Story and Barbershop 2: Back in Business, respectively.
