'Ray of Light' is a song by American singer Madonna. It is the title track from her seventh studio album 'Ray of Light' (1998), and was released as the album's second single on May 6, 1998, by Maverick Records.

The song was used by Microsoft in its 2001 advertising campaign for Windows XP. It begins with a man leaping through a green field and then lifting off into a sunny sky—a landscape lifted from Windows XP's default 'bliss screen'. There is also a series of images of people using Windows XP for real-time communications, to collaborate in an airy restaurant, to relay digital images of flying people, watch videos and listen to music. Then, a snippet from the song follows the phrase: 'Faster than the speeding light she's flying...You soar. Yes you can.'

The campaign was reworked after the September 11 attacks; the tag line 'Prepare to fly' was changed to 'Yes you can', to sidestep new concerns about air travel.
