"Fly Me to the Moon" is a 1954 song written by Bart Howard and first recorded by Kaye Ballard. Originally titled "In Other Words," it was popularized by Frank Sinatra in 1964 and has become a jazz standard covered by numerous artists.[1]scope: entire paragraph

Angelina first performed the song in public at the Senkveld show on 2014-03-21. It became her signature song, as she performed it more often than any other song. She released a music video for her acoustic version in 2017, and it was included on her 2017 EP, Angelina Jordan – The EP, released later that year. By end of 2018, she had done more than 35 live performances of it. In that year she also performed it at the Quincy Jones 85th birthday concert with a live orchestra as one of her early career highlights. Her last known public performance of the song (as of early 2026) was at her final 2022 summer concert on 2022-07-10 in Sandjeford.
