Fleetwood Mac "Skies The Limit (Single & Video)"

"Skies the Limit" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their album Behind the Mask. In the US, the song was released as the album's second single in July 1990. Four months later, the song was issued as the album's third single in the UK. While the single did not chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, it did reach number 10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number 40 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The moderate success of "Skies the Limit" and "Save Me" helped to push their parent album into the US and Canadian top 20, albeit only briefly.

"Skies the Limit" was the only track from Behind the Mask included on The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac 2-CD Set in 2002.

McVie wrote "Skies the Limit" as an upbeat song with the intention of offsetting some Behind the Mask tracks that she thought sounded too depressing. "Everything was getting to the point of where it was a downer album. It sounded like this was a potential suicide band, which it wasn't. I decided to write a song that was really up, it was a rally song."

GQ labeled "Skies the Limit" as one of the ten best post-Rumours songs, saying that "the misspelled opening from the album" is "a belter, the only truly memorable song from the album".
