A Woman Falling Out of Love is the thirty-seventh studio album by Aretha Franklin. It was released by Franklin's own label Aretha's Records on May 3, 2011, in the United States. Sold exclusively through US retailer Walmart until June 3, it marked the singer's debut with her label following her departure from Arista Records and the release of the Christmas album This Christmas (2008). Featuring modern standards and familiar classics as well as guest vocalists Ronald Isley, Eddie Franklin, and Karen Clark-Sheard, Franklin produced most of the material herself.
Upon release, the album received a mixed reception by critics, many of whom praised Franklin's ambitions but found the sound of A Woman Falling Out of Love too generic and dated. With little promotion, the project debuted and peaked at number 54 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and dropped off the chart two weeks later. It also reached number 15 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The lead single, opening track "How Long I've Waited", peaked at number 91 on Billboard's R&B chart. A Woman Falling Out of Love would remain Franklin's sole release with Aretha's Records.
