The band formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976 as teenagers. In 1979, the group issued their first release, the EP U2-3, which sold well in Ireland

The Fly was the first single release from Achtung Baby and marked the arrival of a distinctive new sound and approach.

Writing of the song originated at Hansa Studios in Berlin in 1990, a demo which later became the b-side release 'Lady With The Spinning Head'.
