Sara (Fleetwood Mac song)

"Sara" is a song written by singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks of the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, which was one of the five songs written by Nicks on the band's 1979 Tusk double LP. It was released in December 1979 as the second single from the album and peaked at No. 7 in the US for three weeks, No. 37 in the UK for two weeks, No. 11 in Australia, and No. 12 in Canada. Nicks drew references from various individuals in her life when she wrote "Sara", which originally consisted of a set of lyrics without any instrumentation. She demoed the song in the absence of the rest of Fleetwood Mac, who later reworked the song for the Tusk album. During its earliest stages, the song's run-time was roughly 16 minutes and was edited down over the span of the Tusk sessions.

Since its release, "Sara" has been included on several Fleetwood Mac compilations, including Greatest Hits, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac, and 50 Years – Don't Stop. Nicks has also performed the song live on numerous occasions both as a solo artist and as a member of Fleetwood Mac.
