Lead vocalist Jessy Ribordy and former guitarist Tom Cox started Falling Up as a dream while they were still freshmen in high school in Albany, Oregon. The band's name came from the first song they ever wrote, which was about how we are so imperfect, yet God's grace is sufficient enough to overcome our flaws.

Old friends, who just happened to be the members of Kutless, pitched the Falling Up demo to BEC Recordings owner Brandon Ebel, and Ebel eventually signed the band to his label in the summer of 2003.

Falling Up debuted on February 24, 2004, with a 12-track album titled Crashings. The release sold over 3,000 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales by any other album in the history of BEC Recordings, a record previously held by Kutless. Crashings went on to sell over 50,000 units by the end of 2004. Three songs from the album, "Broken Heart," "Escalates," and "Bittersweet," all reached #1 on the Christian rock charts at R&R.
