All Rise
The band released their debut single All Rise which sold more than 1.300.000 copies on May 21, 2001 and the song rose to number four on the British Top 40.
Blue released their next single, Too Close (a cover version of Next's song), on August 27, 2001 and this song was Blue's first number one single.
After the CD single Too Close there were two new singles from the album All Rise; If you Come Back and Fly By II (which is a remix of Fly By). Those singles sold more than 200.000 copies in the UK.
One Love

The lyrics to Blue's song Fly By II describe the excitement of a night out on the town with friends, cruising through the city in a low ride with the top down, enjoying the sights and sounds of the city as they fly by. The song seems to celebrate the joy of being young and carefree, dressing up, feeling beautiful, and checking one's style from head to toe. The central theme is one of living in the moment and enjoying life's simple pleasures. The lyrics also hint at some romantic interest between the singer and a girl he's dancing with, as they make plans for the night and decide to take things nice and slow.
Overall, the song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody capture the essence of what it feels like to be young and free, with nothing to do but enjoy the ride. The lyrics reflect the excitement and energy of a big city, with its bright lights, neon signs, and seemingly endless possibilities. In essence, Fly By II is a song about seizing the moment and making the most of the time we have, before life takes us in different directions.
