Chart performance

"Fly Away" is Kravitz's most successful song to date. The song was a hit in both the United Kingdom and United States. It topped the British charts, while in USA it reached number twelve. It also topped the modern rock charts in the US. In New Zealand it peaked at #8 and was certified gold. The song also helped to expand the success of his album "5" in Europe and earned Kravitz a Grammy in 1998 for Best Male Rock Performance.

Music video

The music video for the single was directed by Paul Hunter. It featured Lenny and his band playing in a club. They were surrounded by the crowd dancing to the rhythm of the song, some of them were having fun and getting drunk, while other people were making out and possessed by a sexual behavior at the club and the bathrooms, there were also some girls topless, but they were censored.

Some visual effects were done to make the video something less quiet and get the sensation of adrenaline, by shaking the camera, using different kinds of lighting, and slowing down the playback of the song in order to speed up the movements of the people on the video.

The video is featured on the DVD for the special Kravitz's "Greatest Hits" album tour edition.
