If We Fall in Love Tonight
If We Fall in Love Tonight is a ballad album released by Rod Stewart on 1 November 1996 (see 1996 in music). It includes mostly previously released songs. The album was released in both the US and UK, though the versions differ slightly. It was released by Warner Bros. Records following the release of a similar ballads album by Madonna called Something to Remember. It produced the singles "If We Fall in Love Tonight" and "When I Need You".
If We Fall in Love Tonight contains one track, the title track, which was written for the album. There were some legal wrangles regarding this track, the copyright and the track title which have now been resolved. The album also includes three newly recorded cover versions of hit songs: "Sometimes When We Touch," originally sung by Dan Hill; "When I Need You," originally sung by Leo Sayer; and "For the First Time," originally sung by Kenny Loggins. Two more of the songs had not been previously released on a Rod Stewart album: "So Far Away", originally by Carole King, which had been released as a single in 1995from that year's Carole King tribute album, Tapestry Revisited, and "All for Love," sung with Bryan Adams and Sting, from the soundtrack to the 1993 film The Three Musketeers. Additionally, two songs were remade for If We Fall in Love Tonight: "Have I Told You Lately" by Van Morrison, which was originally released on Vagabond Heart and was remixed for this album; and "Forever Young", originally on Out of Order, which was completely re-recorded. The remaining tracks had all been previously released on Rod Stewart albums.
