McFly was founded and named by front-man Tom Fletcher, after he auditioned for Busted but lost out on the place to Charlie Simpson (who later went on to co-find post-hardcore band Fightstar). Originally, Fletcher was accepted as part of the band (Busted) line-up, however the record label ( Island) went on to reassess the situation, eventually deciding to have the band as a three-some rather than four-some, Fletcher states that he was in the band 'for approximately 24-hours'. Though the record label (Island) decided against offering Fletcher a place in Busted, they were intrigued by his song-writings talents, and later offered him a place on the Busted song-writing 'team', alongside bandmember (and already accomplished song-writer) James Bourne; Fletcher has since stated that it was Bourne who taught him how to 'properly' structure songs, and how to, 'come up with good, poppy melodies'.
During the writing project for Busted's second album (A Present For Everyone), Fletcher was asked, by the record label, if he was available to film auditions for a new band, V. It was at this time that (Danny) Jones and Fletcher met for the first time; Jones went to the audition mistaking the band ( V) to be a Busted-esque band, rather than the conventional, all-singing all-dancing, boyband, for which they were intended. Fletcher was impressed with Jones's unique style, and so approached and invited him to write with himself and Bourne. When writing projects for Busted had come to an end, the two began collaborating for their own (as of yet, unnamed) band, and, eventually, moved into the InterContinental Hotel in
