“Fall to Pieces” is a 2004 power ballad by Velvet Revolver, featured on their debut album Contraband. Written by Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner, the song explores themes of love, addiction, and emotional vulnerability, reflecting Weiland’s personal struggles with substance abuse and his relationship with his wife at the time. Musically, it blends Slash’s melodic guitar work with a slower, blues-influenced structure that recalls classic rock ballads while maintaining the group’s gritty modern edge. Released as the album’s third single, it reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and became one of Velvet Revolver’s most recognizable songs. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, visually depicts Weiland’s battle with addiction, contrasting the band’s live performance scenes with moments of personal turmoil and recovery.
