"Fly like Me" is a song by rapper Chingy, and is the first single from his album Hate It or Love It, which is released on December 18, 2007. It features singer Amerie and has, in Chingy's words, a "mainstream feel" similar to that of the 2005 single "Pimpin' All Over the World" by rapper Ludacris, who was originally to have been featured on the song alongside singer Rihanna. The song was a commercial failure as it stalled at #89 on the Billboard Hot 100 however it went to #40 on the Hip Hop/R&B charts.[1] From October 12, "Fly like Me" was available for streaming on Def Jam Recordings's official website.[2]
