Falling Down by Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION Song Info
“Falling Down” is an alternate version of the song “Sunlight On Your Skin” by Lil Peep and iLoveMakonnen. This version instead features XXXTENTACION and was made after Lil Peep’s death. The song was released by the label, Columbia Records. Fish Narc, a GOTHBOICLIQUE producer and friend of Peep’s spoke about the song’s potential release and was totally against it. He went on to say that Peep didn’t support X because of his allegations, and this is just a ploy for Columbia Records to make money off of Peep. Smokeasac confirmed the song’s release on his Instagram saying that “a very special song is dropping by my best friend @lilpeep called “falling down” featuring @xxxtentacion” Once the new version of the song was confirmed, many of Lil Peep’s close friends, family members, and collaborators were outraged by the songs new feature. Lil Peep’s mother stated in a comment replying to a fan that it wasn’t her choice X got put onto the song, it was iLoveMakonnen’s choice. iLoveMakonnen, who was featured on the original version of the song, said on his Instagram that he was “honored to have co-written this song that X was inspired to be a part of, shortly before he died”. XXXTENTACION’s mother alluded to the song’s release the day before and even announced that both her and Peep’s mother teamed up for the release.
