NEEDTOBREATHE and Carly Pearce turn up the heat with the accompanying visuals for their new collaborative track “Fall on Me.”
In the music video for the song, premiering exclusively with PEOPLE, the Grammy-nominated rock band and Pearce take viewers on a journey through love, loss and realization through carefully curated visuals of an individual longing for quality time with his daughter and father.
“This song and video is about the relationships in our lives that we depend on and rely on when things seem scary or new,” NEEDTOBREATHE tells PEOPLE of the genesis of “Fall on Me.” The band went on to point out that “life is hard, but it’s comforting to know you’re surrounded by people who love you and have your back.”

The video follows the story of an unnamed father and daughter duo. After helping to pack all of his daughter’s belongings into the car, the father gave her an emotional hug on the porch of their home. When he sends her on his way, he starts looking at her childhood photos on his phone, prompting an instinctive reaction that sends him running through the city streets until he reaches the house of what is likely his own father, whom he hugs deeply before the visual ends.

For Pearce, collaborating with NEEDTOBREATHE on “Fall on Me” was especially special as she has been a longtime fan of their work. “Years ago I bought a ticket and went to see NEEDTOBREATHE live myself because I was a huge fan,” the singer tells PEOPLE. “It’s such an honor to be asked to be in a song with them.”
“Fall on Me” is another tasty example of NEEDTOBREATHE’s collaboration with director and friend Gus Black, who has worked on many of the band’s videos in the past. “He’s done a lot of videos for us over the years and we feel like he beautifully captures what it feels like to love and be human,” NEEDTOBREATHE tells PEOPLE of his relationship with Black.
All in all, the award-winning musicians “hope the song means as much to you as it does to us.” “Fall on Me” was released as part of NEEDTOBREATHE’s latest album, CAVESwhich appeared on streaming services on September 15. The new project also includes Judah & The Lion, Old Dominion and Foy Vance.
