I still don't think it's very good and I've only listened to it a handful of times, I didn't buy it. Disappointed tbh

It's a good song, not great but that's ok...again it suits its purpose for SO and the charity angle is perfect at this stage in her life/career. She's clearly transitioning into a more mature image/sound.
I love her ballads and still listen to this song regularly...when it comes on shuffle play in the car or when I'm working on my laptop. I find her voice to be very strong on the track, contrary to popular opinion on this thread it seems...it's a real sound and that comes across (bar the autotune bits of course).
It'll be one of the few new songs we'll get from her this year, so I'm counting my blessings. If she goes ahead and does record more music this year, it'll be the highly anticipated (or dreaded) Christmas record... either way....hopefully Avril's well on her way to a full recovery *fingers crossed*

I don't think its fair to relate this charity song to her upcoming album. First, she is just rehabing from the seriouse illness. Its definitely difficult to record the vocal again for the song when you have taken so much medicament and fought against the virus everyday. She probably was very week mentally and phyaically. Besides, how can you ensure that she will work with Chad and David again? You are a bit too early to break down everything for the 6th album based on this song I was just simply saying that, if she had released a lead single for an upcoming album, then there would be a lot more hype and excitement because it would be the beginning of a new album era. I wasn't trying to bash Fly or Avril's current condition. Fly is a great song and was released for a very good cause; it's just that one charity single is not as big of a deal as a new album era would have been. I'm very grateful for everything that Avril has done since becoming ill (supporting lyme disease awareness, releasing Fly, supporting the Special Olympics, etc.) And also, I wasn't saying that Fly is in any way connected to future albums. And when I meant 'upcoming album', I was just referring to a hypothetical album in a hypothetical situation. I wasn't talking about Album 6 per se. This song is absolutely very honest and real, Ive no idea ppl are so negative to it like even feeling worse than with HTNGU I never felt bad towards HTNGU. I've always liked the song and have always felt that it was a great choice for the lead single of AL. I haven't been particularly negative towards Fly either.

I listen to it every morning when I walk to work and I feel like i'm the only person in the world because I walk at dawn Some of the notes feel a little bit high though which can be annoying and kind of hurt my head.

I've heard Fly more than 100 times so far and my opinion on it hasn't changed. I like Fly a lot!

I hope the Special Olympics will give Fly a push, cause it seems pretty dead by now :/

I find it interesting that Epic Records, or LA Reid did absolutely nothing to promo it on their twitter.. (at least I think)

It wasn't released by Epic though so I could see why they didn't care to promote it. Even though since Avril is still with them (presumably) they should have.

^ In my opinion, I think they should have wanted to promote it. Epic should want to promote and support Avril, charity single or not!

I agree but can we expect anything less from Flopic? If it's not a single for them, they don't care. I think even when Avril DID release singles for them they still barely acknowledged her and only tweeted about Meghan Trainor, Fifth Harmony, and A Great Big World.

I hope they break it cause she needs to be with a label who let her do her own thing. No forced songs.
