Sara cover

"Sara" was composed by Stevie Nicks for Fleetwood Mac's 1979 double album Tusk, representing one of five songs she contributed to the record. Released as the second single in December 1979, the track achieved significant commercial success, reaching number 7 on the US charts for a three-week period, along with chart positions in the UK, Australia, and Canada. The song evolved from an initial vocal-only demo into its final form through collaborative reworking by the band during album sessions, having been substantially shortened from an original 16-minute length.

The songwriter drew inspiration from multiple people in her personal life when creating the song.
