    Fly by II is a song recorded by English boy band Blue. It was released on 18 March 2002 as the fourth and final single released from their debut studio album All Rise (2001). The release included the first ever non-album exclusive, "Love R. I. P". The song is a remixed version of the All Rise album track "Fly By", which samples the song "Rise" by Herb Alpert while this song samples from The Notorious B. I. G.'s "Hypnotize". "Rise" was a number-one hit record in America and was written by Randy "Badazz" Alpert and Andy Armer. "Fly by II" reached number six on the UK Singles Chart. The song is also notable as being the only song associated with All Rise to be recorded at Blue's famous recording partnership Metropolis Studios, which has been the venue for such recording artists as Madonna and Mick Jagger.
