About the song
MacSim has repeatedly said in an interview that the song is dedicated to her friend, a famous actor [4] . At first, MakSim hid for a long time to whom exactly the composition is dedicated, but afterwards, in one interview, she nevertheless admitted that: “I’ll learn to fly” [was written] - at that time, when I was friends with actor Denis Nikiforov, he starred in my clip “ Letting go ”. Denis “hooked” me on parachuting, and I was seriously interested in him ” [5] .
Along with the album version of the song, several official remixes of the song, such as “Learn to Fly (DJ Vini Remix)” and “Learn to Fly (DJ Shevtsov & Hard Rock Sofa),” were released into circulation.
MakSim began to perform the song at concerts before the release of the second album [6] , so it was performed during both of her tours.
The single and landscape versions are distinguished by a brass part.

Criticism Reaction
