Falling in Between is the twelfth studio album (though counted as the 13th album overall — see Toto XIV) by American rock band Toto. The album was released on the Italian label Frontiers Records in Japan on January 25, 2006, in Europe, Australia, and Asia on February 10, 2006, and in the United States on April 18, 2006. The album's only single, Bottom of Your Soul, also received a summer edition pressing with three other tracks. The band supported the album with a world tour.
It was the band's first release of new material since Mindfields in 1999, and their first studio release since Through the Looking Glass in 2002. It was their only album with keyboardist/vocalist Greg Phillinganes, who originally began playing with the band in 2003 as a touring replacement for David Paich, who had to take time off to care for his sister. It was also their last album with vocalist Bobby Kimball, bassist Mike Porcaro, and drummer Simon Phillips. Porcaro stopped performing after 2006 due to early symptoms of what was later diagnosed as ALS, taking away the use of his hands. He died in 2015, and would posthumously appear on the 2018 album Old Is New. Phillips left the band in 2014 to pursue other projects.
Other guest artists appearing on the album include then-former members vocalist Joseph Williams and keyboardist Steve Porcaro, percussionist Lenny Castro, saxophonist Tom Scott, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, trombonist James Pankow of Chicago, and former Chicago bassist and vocalist Jason Scheff.
