Tones and I sent out "Fly Away" in November 2020 through Bad Batch and Elektra, the first single from what became her debut album, Welcome to the Madhouse, in 2021. She wrote it herself and co-produced it with Dann Hume, who also mixed, and she has described it as a song about chasing your dreams, getting there, and facing what comes along with that.
It also soundtracked a Qantas campaign of the same name, one that did well, and the awards followed: nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop Release at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, then a win for Most Performed Pop Work at the APRA Music Awards of 2022. Nick Kozakis and Liam Kelly directed the video.
