"Fly" is a song recorded by American country music duo Maddie & Tae. It was released in January 2015 as the second single from their debut studio album, Start Here. The song, written by the duo and Tiffany Vartanyan, is an inspirational anthem about a girl wanting to find success. It garnered a positive reception from critics praising the production and the girls' vocal performances for elevating the overall theme of the song.

"Fly" peaked at number 9 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also charted at number 61 on the Hot 100. The song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold over 321,000 copies in that country as of November 2015. The song received similar chart success in Canada, peaking at number 18 on the Country chart and number 66 on the Canadian Hot 100.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Brian Lazzaro, features the duo writing and performing the song while intercut with images of butterflies, babies playing and children climbing on ropes and ladders. A second video has the duo performing at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt while also showing patients performing on stage and interacting with their doctors.

The song is an inspirational song primarily backed by acoustic instruments and by a prominent fiddle and it's in the key of F major. The song is in strong contrast with the duo's previous single "Girl in a Country Song": while the latter used irony and satire to criticize Nashville’s emphasis on dated and exploitive female stereotypes, "Fly" delivers a sincere narrative account of a girl striving for success.
