"We are over the moon that 'Fly' has made it to the semi finals in this song writing contest," said Gabriel. "It's nice to get an acknowledgement of an original tune written by us."

"I'm really happy 'Fly' has received this nomination. I remember when we were recording the song we thought we had something special but you never know until people get to hear it." said Michael.
