He also co-wrote the track "Electricity", and several other tracks on the 1995 album We Care from alt-rockers Whale.

He released the hit single "Make It Right" under his own name in 2000, with vocals by Demetrius Price, credited Demetreus. In 2008, he released a new version of "Calling You" with Jevetta Steele's vocals. The cover was released as a single from his album Quel Bordel. In the UK, he enjoyed a Top 40 hit with "Dream On" in 2008, which featured vocals from fellow Swede Robyn. Falk also produced the multi-million selling song "7 Seconds" composed by Youssou N'Dour, Neneh Cherry, Cameron McVey and Jonathan Sharp, released in 1994 as a single performed by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry.
