The song, written by the duo and Tiffany Vartanyan, is an inspirational anthem about a girl wanting to find success. It garnered a positive reception from critics praising the production and the girls' vocal performances for elevating the overall theme of the song.
"Fly" peaked at number nine on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also charted at number 61 on the Hot 100 chart.
