Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Fly Away. By Songfacts®.

This song was done very quickly, after the album was already finished. Kravitz originally intended it to be a B-side only, but a friend who heard the song convinced him to call his record company, stop the whole procedure and add the song to the album.

This won a Grammy in 1998 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Kravitz won the same award the next two years for "American Woman" and "Again."

The lyrics are very simple, which makes the song great for sports montages and movie scenes where there is no deep meaning trying to be conveyed. Kravitz feels good songwriting can be done with very basic ideas.
