The band consists of Charles McSorley (lead vocals), Jack Winn (guitar, vocals), Jake Lees (bass, vocals), Billy Fielding (drums, backing vocals), and Sam Malynowsky (keyboards), all good friends for years. Asked about their inspirations, Fling's frontman McSorley answers "I think we all share the love of the classics, pretty much any Beatles, The Clash, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Kinks, Oasis and other such artists’ albums constantly inspire us and will do forever I think. Just all the good stuff basically."
So far, Fling are something of a British pearl sprawling onto the musical scene, with continuous local gigs around Bradford, festival appearances and 6 (as of March 4th, 2018) singles available via streaming devices. Their latest track, "Banjo Billy", debuted worldwide on March 2nd, 2018.

Why the F do they keep on poking my balls?
I know they tryna set me up to take my freedom.
Me no let them set me up to take my freedom.

If I'm lying I'm flying.

I'm holding up my cool if I spaz bazooka go boow.
I'm holding up my cool but inside anger takes the room.
I ignore the fight, but never mistake think I'm weak nah.
Everything I could done did, but did not got a reason.
If it ain't for me family I wouldn't pay a fucking tax.
I wouldn't pay a fee to live.
Tell them crackers God made me free.
If it ain't for me family it's fuck the gov ok come get me.
No hell no I ain't scared you must not know I'm Haïtian.
Pitit Dessaline!
Freedom his only goal.
Keep poking the lion balls.
He chained up.
Soon he go loose.
You'll see the result oh.
The song "I" by Fling begins with a recurring refrain, "If I'm lying I'm flying," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. This line suggests that honesty is crucial, and if the singer is not truthful, they will soar away, implying a desire for authenticity and transparency. The repetition of "Love" throughout the song underscores the theme of love being at the core of the singer's actions and motivations. It's a reflection of their sincerity and deep emotional connection to the concept of love.
The repeated questioning of "Why do they play with me?" and "Am I too nice of a human being?" conveys a sense of confusion and frustration at being taken advantage of or misunderstood by others. The singer seems to be grappling with the complexities of their own kindness and the challenges that come with it in a world that may not always reciprocate or appreciate such qualities. This inner turmoil is further emphasized by the repeated pleas for love and understanding.
The verses delve into the singer's struggles against judgment and attempts to undermine their freedom and independence. There is a sense of defiance and resilience as they declare their determination not to be swayed or manipulated by external pressures. The references to avoiding conflict and resisting provocations indicate a desire to maintain composure and self-control despite facing adversity.
The final section of the lyrics conveys a more intense and defiant tone, with the singer asserting their beliefs in freedom, resistance against oppression, and the strength derived from their roots. The imagery of a lion being poked at while chained up symbolizes the singer's inner power and resilience, hinting at a forthcoming release of their full potential and the inevitable consequences for those who underestimate or oppress them. Overall, the song "I" by Fling is a poignant expression of personal struggle, resilience, and the enduring pursuit of freedom and self-expression.

나의 소리 가득하던
우리 집에는 이젠
이젠 다른 세상이 들려
노랫소리 가득하던
우리 집에는 이젠
이젠 다시 들리지 않아
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light in your eyes
웃음소리 가득하던
우리 집에는 이젠
이젠 걸음소리만 들려
오래 아니 평생
모든 게 갈 것 같았는데
이젠 다른 세상이 보여
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light in your eyes
We are together
(in your arms)
We are forever
Here to lean on
to lean on to lean on
Here to live on
to live on to live on
웃음소리 기억하던
우리 집에는 이젠
이젠 다른 소리만 들려
오래 아니 평생
모든 게 갈 것 같았는데
이젠 다른 사람이 보여
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light
I shall be passing you
Through the night
through the light in your eyes
We are together
(in your arms)
We are forever
Here to lean on
to lean on to lean on
Here to live on
to live on to live on
We are the others
(in your arms)
We are another
Here to lean on
to lean on to lean on
Here to live on
to live on to live on
