"I wanted this song to feel like love in the springtime. That's what the music felt like to me the first time I heard it."
Following the less successful chart performances of buzz single "Reach Down In Your Soul", the record was released as the album's first single during the first quarter of 2008 (see 2008 in music) in North America. "Fly Away With Me" is a slow-tempo composition featuring R&B production and soul elements. While most of the tracks featured on Conflict are mid-tempo, "Fly Away With Me" was well received by critics for its beat-driven melody. The song peaked into the Top 40 Hot Adult R&B Singles Airplay Chart at #38. Fly Away With Me is Smith's first song to chart on the Hot Adult Airplay and her second song to chart (Gladly is the first).
The video was shot on March 13, 2008 with Shawn Carter Peterson as the director. The song aired Centric's Soul Sessions and Centric Hits shows. The imagery in this video can be described as Smith enjoys having to spend time with her husband "Shawn Carter Peterson" including playing hiding go seek, scale painting, and walking down a path in a forest.
