Falling Uphill is the first album by the Canadian girl pop rock band Lillix. It released by Maverick Records on May 27, 2003.
The album includes a cover version of The Romantics' song "What I Like About You". This song also notably appeared on the Freaky Friday soundtrack, as well as in the The WB comedy series What I Like About You. The single releases are "It's About Time", "What I Like About You", and "Tomorrow". "It's About Time" peaked at #17 on the Japan Top 20 chart, number 5 on TRL, and number 33 on the Billboard US Mainstream Top 40 Airplay.[3][4][5] In 2007, Nielsen certified the song as receiving 50,000 spins.[6] "What I Like About You" failed to chart. "Tomorrow" reached number 48 on R&R magazine's Pop Airplay chart. The song "Fork in the Road" was also included on volume 2 of Barbie's Cali Girl CD, along with "Breathe Your Name" and "Is She Really Going Out with Him?".[7]
