Cline was afraid the Jordanaires would drown out her sound, and as a result, she was not very friendly upon meeting them for the first time. However when Cline began recording the song a few weeks later in November of 1960, to say she had second thoughts about it would be putting it mildly, especially after she discovered that popular Nashville background singer group, The Jordanaires would serve as the support vocalists. Patsy Cline, was in the hallway and overheard his argument with Bradley and asked if she could record it instead.
Bradley then asked rising country star, Roy Drusky to record it but he turned it down stating that it's not a man's song. The song was turned down numerous times, first by Brenda Lee, who found the song "too country" for her pop style. Harlan Howard pitched the song to Decca producer, Owen Bradley, who tried to find the right artist to record it. The demo version of the song was recorded at Pamper Music in Goodlettsville, Tennessee by Howard's wife and country singer, Jan Howard. One night, Cochran was mulling over song ideas, when he thought of a title, "I Fall to Pieces." Cochran met up with Howard at his house the next day, where they finished writing the song.
Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard met in California, and became songwriting partners.
