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.

Went out with the guys
And before my eyes
There was this girl she looked so fine
And she blew my mind
And I wish that she was mine
And I said 'hey wait up cos I'm off to speak to her'
And my friends said
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
But I didn't care
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
Cos I loved her long blond hair
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
And love was in the air
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
And she looked at me
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
And the rest was history
(you'll never get her,you never gonna get that girl)
Dude you're being silly cos you're never gonna get that girl
And you're never gonna get the girl
We spoke for hours
(she) took off my trousers
(they)Spent the day laughing in the sun
We had fun
And my friends they all looked stunned yeah yeah
Dude she's amazing and I can't believe you've got that girl
My friends said
(she's amazin' I can't believe you got that girl)
She gave me more street cred
(she's amazin' I can't believe you got that girl)
I dug the books she read
(she's amazin' I can't believe you got that girl)
And how could I forget
She rocks my world
(she's amazin' I can't believe you got that girl)
More than any other girl
(she's amazin' I can't believe you got that girl)
(yeah yeah)
Dude she's amazing and I can't believe you've got that girl
And I can't believe you got that girl
She looked incredible just turned 17

She's out of my league
So what am I to do?
She's too good to be true

Went round to see her
But she was with another guy
And I said 'fine'
But I never asked her why
But since then loneliness has been a friend of mine
My friend's said
(such a pity I'm sorry that you lost that girl)
I let her slip away
(such a pity I'm sorry that you lost that girl)
They tell me everyday
(such a pity I'm sorry that you lost that girl)
That it will be ok (yeah)
