Fly is the fourth album by classical crossover soprano Sarah Brightman. It is her second album with producer Frank Peterson and features collaborations with Tom Jones, Chris Thompson and Andrew Eldritch.

Since its original 1995 release, Fly is one of Brightman's few albums to undergo multiple reissues in different markets. The first reissue of Fly was in 1996 to include Brightman's hit single "Time to Say Goodbye" with Andrea Bocelli. Fly II, a two-disc limited edition which featured unreleased b-sides and other material, was later released in 2000 to support Brightman's La Luna World Tour and could only be purchased at participating tour events. In 2006, Fly was re-reissued in Japan with the original 1995 track listing, along with four bonus tracks and new artwork.[2] Although Fly is available in several countries, it has yet to be officially released in the United States.

gollark: Like I said, I save every few characters I add/remove.
gollark: It also has a nice feature where it automatically writes a commit message along the lines of "add the letters a, b, c".
gollark: I suspect that either my editor is rate-limiting itself somehow, or it won't commit again while it's pushing.
gollark: Well, it'll be made as rather a lot of commits I guess.
gollark: I save after every few characters, because I'm very paranoid about that.
