Although the song has been assumed to be about marijuana use, Osbourne has stated that the song was inspired by his successful re-emergence as a solo artist after being fired from Black Sabbath and subsequently believing his career was over.[citation needed] The song is in the key of Ab minor.
Gina Boldman of AllMusic praised guitarist Randy Rhoads for the solo in the song as one of his best. She called "Flying High Again" "A good-time heavy metal song that was hard to take seriously" but "one of Ozzy's most likable and memorable songs of his early-'80s period."[2] In 2015, radio station 100.7 WZLX ranked it the 223rd greatest song.[3]
An animated music video was released to YouTube on 5 November 2021 celebrating guitarist Randy Rhoads, who was killed in an airplane accident a year later following the singles release.[4]
