"Falling in Love Again" is a 1977 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye and issued on his 1978 album, Here, My Dear album. The song was another track on the personal album that didn't discuss the demise of his first marriage. Instead of Anna Gaye, the song talked of the other woman in Marvin's life. The woman, explained in "You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You", as "that young girl", was Janis Hunter, with whom Marvin had married. In a solemn but still certain tone, Marvin wanted to be sure that this time his love with Janis will be what he had always wanted. But as irony would have it, by the time of the album's release, Marvin and Janis' relationship was ailing. By the end of the album's promotion, Janis had split from the singer after nearly two years as a married couple. They eventually divorced in February of 1981. This song was the last song on Here, My Dear with a reprise from the album's "theme song", "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You", playing soon afterwards putting the album to a close for good.
