the title track, "if we fall in love tonight", written for this album, had some legal wrangles regarding its copyright and track title which have now been resolved. the album includes three newly recorded cover versions of hit songs: "sometimes when we touch," originally sang by dan hill; "when i need you," originally sang by leo sayer; and "for the first time," originally sang by kenny loggins. two other 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 1995 from that year's carole king tribute album, "", and "all for love," sang with bryan adams and sting, from the 1993 film soundtrack "the three musketeers". additionally, two songs were revamped for "if we fall in love tonight": "have i told you lately", originally by van morrison and initially released on stewart's "vagabond heart", was remixed here; and "forever young", initially on stewart's "out of order", which was completely re-recorded. the remaining tracks were all previously released on various rod stewart albums.
