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.
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the Sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever (forever)
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse, and so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever (forever)
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we
