“She’s got a lip ring and 5 colours in her hair
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears
Her tatoo’s always hidden by her underwear
But she don’t care! [...]”
Tom’s POV
We were playing 5 colours in a club in the suburb of London. We’ve been told that some producers and talent-spotters from some famous music labels were here. We HAD to impress them; write and play our own music is what we’re living for, but being paid for this would be AWESOME! Moreover, we don’t have a lot of money left, so if we want to keep our house and keep living on our dreams, we must take all the opportunities!
A man is the crowd called us at the end of the song and invite us to talk around some drinks.
- So, you’re searching for a producer ? A record label? Give me at least 5 new songs – I mean, good ones – and you’re taken!
Fortunately, we’ve only played 5 colours, Broccoli and She left me. We had 2 other songs left which could be showed as “new ones” but we still had to write 3 others y get the contract.

Later this night, when the boys get back home...
- Guys, the situation is serious, I need you to be super-focused!
- Don’t panic, Tom. Danny and you can do this, right?
- What was that? Are you serious?! Tom replied, kinda shocked by Doug’s nonchalance.
- Well, you wrote all these good songs with James and so, you can do it....
- THIS is not about Busted! This is about you, you, you and me! Tom said, pointing each member one by one.We’re MCFLY! And this about our destiny! What we want to share with OUR fans, through OUR songs!
- Maybe but, there’s a little obstacle; Dougie and I never wrote any songs before. Harry emphasized.
- Well, it’s not completely true...Dougie corrected, I- I used to be in a band called Altaiz and so, I wrote some stuffs during my school days.
At this moment, Harry felt like... “left behind”. The fifth wheel. He used to have this kind of feeling at the very beginning but his friends have always blowed it out.
Harry’s POV
Maybe what people say about drummers is true after all: “They’re just good enough to play drums but aren’t able to write or sing something good”.
My voice is terrible indeed... when I joined McFLY, I was just thinking about drumming and having fun. I didn’t see this coming; I should have been less pretentious.
Tom: [...] When you don’t know how to begin, try to find something you’ve hidden in your heart, and let it talk.
I decided to stay locked in my bedroom and think about some ideas...
“A drummer... is also... A dreamer?”... “Things aren’t always easy but... This is life.”
Oh god, I totally SUCK at songwriting! Even if the first one was great... NO, it’s not good enough! Argh! What should I do? That’s definitely more difficult than I thought...

On the morning, Tom, Danny and Dougie were in Tom’s bedroom, thinking about a new song...
Danny: When she walks in the room...
Dougie: Perv!
Tom: ... my heart...
