A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by American filmmaker Neil Abramson. It features scenes from the movie and snippets of the band playing and dancing.It was later made available on YouTube in 2009 and had generated more than 90 million views as of February 2025. An alternate version exists that just features footage of the band without any clips from the movie.
Notes
In 1993, British reggae band UB40 covered the original 1961 Elvis Presley recording as the first single from their tenth album, Promises and Lies (1993). The song, renamed "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You", was released on May 10, 1993, by Virgin Records, and eventually climbed to No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, staying there for seven weeks, becoming their fourth and last top-10 hit. It also topped the charts of 11 other countries, including Australia, Austria, the Netherlands, New Zealand (where it was the most successful single of 1993), and the United Kingdom, where it spent two weeks at No. 1.[35] The song appears on the soundtrack of the 1993 movie Sliver,[36] the trailer for the 1997 film Fools Rush In, and an episode of the 2015 series Hindsight. In the US, and on the Sliver soundtrack, the song title was listed as "Can't Help Falling in Love", rather than what appeared on the record sleeve, which included parentheses around the words "I Can't Help". The single version of the song also has a slightly different backing rhythm and melody.
