this song was written about music on the radio not being super guitar heavy anymore and them missing that (slightly tongue in cheek) .. ironically apparently they were told this song was too heavy for the radio😅 also, yes the name Mcfly came from back to the future.. tom is obsessed with it and decided that would be the name pretty quickly 😂
The band name absolutely comes from the Marty McFly character in Back To The Future. They've confirmed that name origin in numerous interviews over the years. When they were younger, both Tom Fletcher and frequent songwriting collaborator James Bourne (from the band Busted) were obsessed with the movie. Tom got his bandmates to agree to the name McFly while Busted had a hit single entitled "Year 3000" (that was also a cover hit for the Jonas Brothers).
Hey John. This song was the first single of this new era. It was blow minding! Cuz we knew that Power to Play would be a badass album. And we were right! Love your reacts!
Funny thing: McFLY's band name came from Back to The Future, and the confirmation that the band should be called that came from a van there, which said D. JONES - the very leading vocal name (Danny Jones) HAHAHAHA They said that in their book.
Can you react to the band “Busted”, they are a band with 3 members and they’re good friends with Mcfly and have even gone on tour as a Supergroup McBusted!!
