“Fly Away” is a luminous duet by **Eric Benét** and **Corinne Bailey Rae**, featured on Benét’s *The Co-Star* album and earlier previewed on his *Duets* EP. The song is centered on a romantic promise of escape and devotion, where the lyric “Even if the world is on fire, I will be your wings to fly away” captures both idealism and comfort.

Musically, “Fly Away” leans into an airy, organic production—acoustic guitars, soft instrumentation, and naturalistic textures help create a feeling of serenity and intimacy.  The voices of Benét and Rae intertwine with warm chemistry: their harmonies float, their phrasing complements one another, and the emotional connection is palpable without excessive ornamentation.

The music video furthers the song’s aesthetic of quiet beauty and emotional openness. Shot in natural settings—lush greenery, meadows, barefoot scenes by streams—the video places the duo in an environment of calm and vulnerability. They appear performing with minimal artifice, letting the landscape and their vocal interplay tell much of the story.

Critically, “Fly Away” is often singled out as one of the stronger moments in Benét’s collaborative project. On the *Duets* EP, it was highlighted as “the best song” for its balance of soulfulness and restraint. In interviews and reviews discussing *The Co-Star*, it is praised for how seamlessly it fits the album’s larger vision of pairing Benét with female vocalists in songs that feel original rather than contrived.
