Hilary Duff's new album is certainly not bubblegum girl pop, and this first-to-be-released song proves it. "Fly", the inspirational and bohemian Pop Rock hit spreads it's wings and flies into the hearts of new and old Hilary fans. You don't even have to be a fan to like this song.

While many may tell you it's all hype and no content, the song is catchy and likable the more you listen to it. Hilary's growing up, and so is her music.

The Cd Includes 2 tracks.. One From The Album 'Hilary Duff' The Other A Remix Of It.. This Is A Wicked Cd.. You Should Buy It..

We get it, Hilary Duff, you're nice.

You're the only sunny blond pop star still standing, you're close to your family, you make sweet and safe movies and music for the tween set, and even when you wear so-brown-it's-black nail polish and a Motörhead concert tee, you still don't pull off pouty.

The thing is, with perhaps the exception of Avril Lavigne and Lindsay Lohan, no one's complaining. The story of teen star tiring of her girl-next-door image only to affect a more extreme, sexy one for the second album is played out by now. Ditto the "girl on the brink of self-destruction" and the "out-of-control party girl." But what is the media to do if a chart-topping teen star doesn't offer much in the way of tabloid fodder or not-a-girl-not-yet-a-woman angst or a dark side simmering beneath her seemly surface? And what if she also doesn't conform to the other extreme stereotype, that of a corny goody two-shoes who regular teenagers can't or don't want to relate to?

Ask Hilary Duff.

She's charming and adorable, outspoken without being preachy, a good girl without being unrealistically restrained. But mostly, she's a regular 17-year-old. And while that makes it tough to slap on her the "perfect good girl" or "dirty bad girl" label that inevitably gets assigned to all female pop stars, it's also what makes her so popular.

"In some magazines, they almost want me to deny what I am, and I never do that because I really am comfortable with myself," she says. "I am a good girl. I'm not going to try to prove to anybody else that I'm not this clean-cut type of person, because I am. I'm not crazy out there partying all the time. When I have time off, I like to go out to clubs sometimes, but that's not a 'bad girl' thing to do, that's just fun. And I definitely don't dress in turtlenecks, but because I don't take my clothes off and show everything I have doesn't mean that I'm not a grown-up."

Looking at the way most pop stars present themselves, it's easy to think that dressed = kiddie artist, undressed = adult artist. Duff, however, doesn't see sex as being synonymous with growth.

"Certain artists my age who are going through this phase of not wanting a younger audience or not wanting people their age to like them or trying to get a more male-oriented audience will take their clothes off, and I definitely don't think that's a sign of maturity," she says matter-of-factly. "But I also think that if they feel comfortable doing stuff like that, then more power to them."

Accelerated maturity -- for better or for worse, and whether the expression of it is role-model-worthy or not -- is something all starlets deal with at some point. But unlike some of her peers, who ironically end up seeming immature as they try too hard to demonstrate how grown up they are, Hilary shows a self-awareness and honesty that reveals a young woman who really is coming into her own.

I bought this cd just on the insistence of a friend and went home,thrusted it in the player and pressed the play button./Wow,the sonf Fly was good,and i mean good.Even though i wasn`t a hilary fan once,i am now and i think this is a cd which is definitely worth having.I`d heard that duff was not so mature in her voice,but i think that`s all lies since she rocks!!!

This song is a great song from hilary's new self titled album. Her voice is really good, it just goes to show how much she has worked on her voice over the past year. A great start to her new album. I think it will go a long way. it also comes with a rasie your voice poster which is really cool. this cd is a must have for all hilary duff fans even if you already have the album

This song is a inspiring song which is very hard to sing so when she sings it its incredible,
this track is inspiring to the furthest degree put it on when you want some inspring and during studying and stuff
The Remix is really worth it, its basically FLY, Raise You Voice version there both the same and have the perpose Skip, in the middle 8 which will really shock you and generally the beats faster and harder and they might be an added beat or too
so Buy It!!! Fans The Remix will be worth it!!!

I don't have the single but i have the album and i heard a remix. This was the first song I paied close attention to! Really good. I heard it comes with a Raise Your Voice poster. Too bad I already have the alubm. Oh well. I saw the Raise Your Voice. The song matches the movie.

"Fly" is the first single of Hilary Duff's self-titled sophomore album - and it was a perfect choice.

In this song Hilary shows off her wonderful vocals, and shows that she can sing ... really well! The lyrics are meaningful, telling you to 'forget about the reasons why you can't in life'
and 'open your wings and fly'.

This catchy pop/rock song shows that Hilary Duff has moved on from her bubblegum pop stage, to an edgier, rockier style - one that the world is sure to love.

This single comes with a funky remix of "Fly" and a 'Raise Your Voice' poster - it's certainly worth purchasing!

To tell the truth, I can't stand Hilary Duff. She is an even bigger fake than Britney Spears-she can't sing at ALL-they use computer effects on and double her voice every chance they get, and her weak vocals constantly have to be hid beneath overproduced backing tracks. She lip-synchs everything-her voice is far too frail to sing live. She strains herself to sing the higher notes, and it shows, painfully so, in her music, when even overproduced music can't hide it. And she doesn't even dance while she's lip-synching to keep her audience entertained-she just walks around on stage, miming. And I've never been impressed by her acting skills, either. She came off as utterly talentless to me. But I can't deny the fact that like Britney Spears, she has some damn good people backing her up, making her music sound good. And "Fly" may very well be her best song to date. It provides a catchy rhythm, a danceable sound, and even meaty lyrics. I hate to say it-as much as I don't want to, as much as my conscience is screaming at me not to, I really like this song. It is a worthwhile single, and definitely Hilary's best yet. It leans more towards rock than bubblegum pop, which I certainly have no problem with. It is also probably the ONLY good song from her self-titled sophomore album, which is filled to the brim with repetitive, typical teen pop rock filler. I would have given this release 5 stars, but with a hefty price tag and a mere two tracks, I hesitate to do so. I wish they had perhaps included another song of hers, or more remixes. Also, her voice can undeniably become cloying after several listens, but this song is heavily overproduced, so her voice is not what your focus will be on when you listen to this song. Plus, the remix isn't quite as good as the original. Anyways, if you want a small taste of Hilary Duff's music at its very best, look no further than this single.

The...I'm going to stop there. Go get a Nine Inch Nails album for God's sake.
