F.I.R. (traditional Chinese: 飛兒樂團; simplified Chinese: 飞儿乐团; pinyin: Fēiér Yuètuán) is a Taiwanese pop rock band formed in 2004. The group is composed of Lydia, Ian Chen, and previously members Faye and Real Huang. They are well known throughout Asia after their hit "Lydia", which gained popularity for being the theme song of Taiwanese TV drama, The Outsiders (鬥魚).

In March 2018, it was announced that Faye would not be part of F.I.R. anymore – citing creative differences and in pursuit of a solo career.[1] In October 2018, it was announced that then 22-year-old Lydia will join the group, replacing Faye as its lead vocal.[3]

In 2024, guitarist Real Huang announced his withdrawal from the band and became an independent producer. Band leader Chen Jianning said that F.I.R. would go solo but would not disband.[2]

The name F.I.R. comes from the initials of the three original members: Faye, Ian, and Real. It is also a backronym for "Fairyland In Reality", their debut album name.
