"Given to Fly" is the first single from ''.

In many ways, "Given to Fly" is one of the group's most significant singles - both its classic-rock composition and its warm, crisp sound recall '' Ten '', which suggests that Pearl Jam were at least somewhat shaken by their fanbase's cool reception to the artsy, frayed '' No Code ''. The guitar part and main vocal melody in the song were inspired by Led Zeppelin 's " Going To California ", and Pearl Jam has performed the song with Robert Plant live in concert.

Live performances of "Given to Fly" can be found on the live albums '' Live On Two Legs '' and '' Live At The Gorge 05/06 ''. Performances of the song are also included on the DVDs '' Single Video Theory '' and '' Touring Band 2000 ''.
