- This article is about F.I.R., a C-pop/rock group. See FIR for other possible meanings.
F.I.R. (Traditional Chinese: 飛兒樂團, 飛兒; Simplified Chinese: 飞儿乐团, 飞儿; pinyin: Fēier Yuètuán) is a popular Taiwanese music group. Renowned producer Ian Chen formed his own band and recruited the other two members to form F.I.R. They are well known throughout Asia with their hit "Lydia," which was the theme song for the Taiwanese TV drama "The Outsiders(鬥魚)." The drama was aired in Taiwan without revealing the singer of the theme song. Having a beautiful voice that asked for attention, the song attracted many fans, leading to F.I.R.'s big success when they finally debuted in 2004. Since their debut, they have often been compared with the disbanded Japanese rock band, Do As Infinity, because of the similar music styles and formation of the group members.
The name F.I.R. comes from the initials of the names of the three members: Faye, Ian, and Real. It is also an acronym for "Fairyland in Reality", one of their albums.
