Born to Fly is a country music album by Sara Evans, released October 10, 2000. It is her highest-selling album to date, having earned 2× Multi-Platinum certification by the RIAA for U.S. sales of two million copies. The lead single, "Born to Fly," reached number one on January 19, 2001. The album was one of the most successful of the year. Evans was nominated for seven CMA awards: Album, song, single, music video, and female vocalist of the year. She won her first CMA award for music video of the year, "Born to Fly."
Her previous album No Place That Far had produced her first number one single. But the other two singles from that album charted quite low. It was evident that "Born to Fly" would be a deciding factor in her career. Sara first sat down with songwriters Marcus Hummon and Darrell Scott and together they wrote the title track, "Born To Fly", basing it on Sara's life. Sara then wrote "I Keep Looking" with songwriters Tom Shapiro and Tony Martin (with whom she also wrote "No Place That Far"). Sara then stated she knew "something magical was happening." She eventually heard the song "I Could Not Ask for More" (originally recorded by Edwin McCain) and recorded it knowing it had a big potential to become a hit. However, her favorite song on the album is "Saints & Angels," written by Victoria Banks.
