La historia de McFly comienza en Londres, Reino Unido, a principios de la década de 2000. Tom Fletcher, el líder y principal compositor del grupo, inició su carrera en el mundo de la música como parte de la boyband Busted. Tras un fallido intento de audicionar nuevamente para Busted, Fletcher decidió explorar otros caminos. Fue entonces cuando conoció a Danny Jones en unas audiciones para un nuevo proyecto musical. Pronto quedó claro que ambos compartían intereses musicales y una visión similar, por lo que decidieron formar una banda.
Tom y Danny sumaron a Dougie Poynter y Harry Judd para completar la formación. Dougie, de origen neerlandés, fue el tercer miembro en unirse, trayendo consigo un estilo distintivo en el bajo y voces secundarias. Harry, por su parte, aportó la energía y precisión que el grupo necesitaba en la batería. De esta manera, en 2003, McFly emergió como una banda completa.
En 2004, el grupo lanzó su primer sencillo, "5 Colours in Her Hair", que rápidamente alcanzó el número uno en las listas del Reino Unido. Con un sonido fresco que combinaba pop punk y rock, McFly atrajo la atención de jóvenes fanáticos y críticos por igual. Ese mismo año, lanzaron su primer álbum "Room on the 3rd Floor", el cual también dominó las listas.
Been having doubts now for a week or two
She doesn't love him like she used to do
He's had his chance but
He's fallen through
He wants her back
With him tonight
She felt the fire burn out long ago
She didn't tell him so he'll never know
She turns away as he calls her name
Chorus:
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you love her)
You should let her go
(don't say that you wan' 'er)
And leave her alone
Coz this time she's leaving you for good
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you need her)
You're a little slow
(theres no easy way out)
It's time to face the fact she's gone
She takes a photo and she cuts him out
So much for memories they would bring her down
She sheds a tear as he calls her name
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you love her)
You should let her go
(don't say that you wan' 'er)
And leave her alone
Cause this time she's leaving you for good
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you need her)
You're a little slow
(theres no easy way out)
It's time to face the fact she's gone
Her mind is flooded with emotion
This isn't where she wants to be
Lying in the ocean
Trying to wash away unwanted memories
She don't wanna know
You should let her go
And leave her alone
Cause this time she's leaving you for good
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you love her)
You should let her go
(don't say that you wan' 'er)
And leave her alone
Cause this time she's leaving you for good
She don't wanna know
(don't say that you need her)
You're a little slow
(there's no easy way out)
It's time to face the fact she's gone.
