"Love the Fall" is the third single by Australian singer Michael Paynter. The song was to feature on his debut album This Welcome Diversion before Paynter was dropped from Sony, and so it was eventually released on his independently distributed 2014 album Weary Stars, along with the B-sides "Are You Alive" and "Novocaine".

The song features backing vocals by Jessica Origliasso and Lisa Origliasso from The Veronicas, who Paynter met at the 2008 ARIA Music Awards and became good friends with. The single was released digitally on 18 June 2010 and as an EP on 9 July 2010. The five-track EP also includes the single "Are You Alive", which was used to promote the final episode of Lost.

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.

"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."
