"Closer to Fine" is a song by American folk rock duo Indigo Girls. The song, written by Emily Saliers, who sang lead vocals, was released as the first single from their eponymous second album in 1989. The song primarily speaks to the search for meaning in life. "Closer to Fine" was reviewed favorably, and although it was only a modest hit initially, it went on to become the duo’s signature song and remained popular, notably appearing prominently in the 2023 comedy Barbie, over 30 years after its release.
