"Onna no Ko wa Dare Demo" (女の子は誰でも?, "All Girls"), also known by its English name "Fly Me to Heaven", is one of the A-sides of the single "Sora ga Natteiru/Onna no Ko wa Dare Demo" by Japanese rock band Tokyo Jihen, led by musician Ringo Sheena. It was released digitally in April 2011, and physically on May 11, 2011, after being postponed since February. The song was featured in a national campaign for Shiseido's Maquillage range of cosmetics in 2011, which featured Sheena as the spokesperson.
In July 2010, Tokyo Jihen released two digital singles: "Tengoku e Yōkoso", the theme song for the drama Atami no Sōsakan, and "Dopa-mint!", Tokyo Jihen's third song used Ezaki Glico's Watering Kissmint range of gum. The band performed at the EMI Rocks festival on November 6, 2010, celebrating 50 years of the EMI label.
The band produced the single "Oishii Kisetsu" / "Ketteiteki Sanpunkan" for entertainer Chiaki Kuriyama, which was released on March 2, 2011. After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, the band released a cover of Tokiko Iwatani's 1964 song "Yoake no Uta" to YouTube.
The single was first announced on December 10, 2010, with a preliminary release date of February 23, 2010. The single's other A-side, "Sora ga Natteiru" was released as a cellphone download on February 8, 2011.
Sheena wanted to experiment in the song, by having a third person outside of the band arrange a song that they happened to play in. Hence, the song was performed by a special unit of Tokyo Jihen called the Tokyo Magical Big Band (東京マジカルビッグバンド Tōkyō Majikaru Biggu Bando?), featuring 13 additional musicians. Instead of the song being arranged my the members of Tokyo Jihen as usual, it was arranged by Takayuki Hattori, who had previously collaborated with Sheena in 2001, with the song "Sid to Hakuchūmu" on her single "Mayonaka wa Junketsu".
