The music video for the song was released on 15 June 2010. The video initiates as Paynter driving along a deserted road at night where he meets a female dressed in white, Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas. He is then tempted by her and follows her into the woods. Later on, a female dressed in black, Jessica Origliasso of The Veronicas, emerges from the bushes and follows Paynter and Lisa.

Charts

"Love the Fall" became Paynter's first top 20 single to make it into the ARIA Singles Chart. Speaking of the single's success, Paynter said "I didn't expect this reaction. I thought I had a great chance and a good song but I couldn't have guessed this. It makes every bit of brokenness and frustration and lonely travel worthwhile."
