"Tears Are Falling" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss from their 1985 album Asylum. Written and sung by vocalist/guitarist Paul Stanley, the song enjoyed minor success as a single when released in the United States and the United Kingdom. It reached number 20 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. A video to promote the single was filmed in London in September 1985, and was directed by David Mallet. Despite its poor-looking production, it was heavily played on MTV's Dial MTV phone video-request show for several months, until a new ruling stated that the requested videos had to be only a few weeks old to qualify.
