Interesting facts and trivia about Learn To Fly. By Songfacts®.

Recorded while quarantined during the coronavirus pandemic, Surfaces shared this song of encouragement during a time of global turmoil. All the broken people, put your hands up high If you lift them up, you might just touch the sky All the lonely people, put your hands up high If you loosen up, you might just learn to fly Learn to fly Surfaces are optimistic that if people open up their hearts to love, they will learn to fly again.

Sir Elton John joins Surfaces on the track. The British icon plays the piano and also croons the second verse, where he urges listeners to "keep that head up, don't you worry it will be alright."

Surfaces started writing "Learn To Fly" before COVID-19, but it became more pertinent as the pandemic wreaked havoc worldwide. After laying down the demo, they reached out to Sir Elton, who was already a fan of their previous single, "Sunday Best." He agreed to be a part of the track, and they were able to record together from quarantine using Zoom.
