Fall From Grace (Peyton List song)

"Fall From Grace" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Peyton List. It was written entirely by List. The songs lyrics depict List's descent into madness due to her obsession with a boy. However, the lyrics are playful and the song itself has a cheerful sound.

Background and release
According to List, she wrote the song as a joke back in 2019 but since it didn't fit the style of the third studio album, it wasn't included and hence wasn't recorded until 2022. It was released on September 30, 2022.

Critical reception
Maeve McDermott of USA Today called it "a fun track with dark enough lyrics to make you feel a bit disturbed" for Peyton List fans, and "a promising track which will definitely grow on the listener the more they listen to it." In a positive review for Variety, Chris William called the song a "great throwback to the music of 2012, with the production being reminiscent of Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, in a good way."

Commercial performance
The song wasn't an instant commercial success, debuting at number 84. It dropped out of the chart at number 99 after just two weeks. However, after the release of the follow-up single Dark Blue Tennessee (ft. Taylor Swift), the song was able to re-enter the chart at number 50 and peaked at 32. In the UK, it peaked at number 60. In Canada, it peaked at number 68. Worldwide, it sold nearly 25,000 copies in it's first day.

Other Versions
Due to the song's occasionally dark and disturbing lyrics, a radio edit was released and was played for the first time on October 4, 2022. This version is not available for sale. However, the radio edit was uploaded to List's YouTube channel for a short period of time before being taken down for unknown reasons. The lyrics weren't altered much but overall, the edit has a much lighter tone and has a slightly altered melody.

An official remix of the song was made by Demo Taped and was released in November 2022.
