"Wings" is a nostalgic anthem about the bittersweet feeling of cherishing a perfect moment while simultaneously wishing to be back in it. Released in 2013 as the lead single from her second album, Fire Within , the song was co-written by Birdy and Ryan Tedder. Core Inspiration and Meaning

: To keep the personal connection, the video features Birdy’s actual sister and cousins riding horses, and her best friend Becky joining her on the swing.

Directed by Sophie Muller, the official music video portrays a surreal, Renaissance-inspired mansion party.

: Birdy has explained that she plays an "evil ghost" haunting an ex-boyfriend at the party.

According to Birdy, the track was inspired by her first music festival experience at age 16.

: It captures the sense of freedom and being "lost and found" while with friends under the stars.

: The "wings" symbolize a desire for the freedom to fly back to those memories or transcend the "walls" of current distance and time to reach someone special.
