Inspired by a real-life crush, the song "What I Go To School For" resulted in a popular music video starring supermodel Lorna Roberts. The parent album, charting at #2 in the UK, received middling critical reviews but became such a commercial success that it was multi-platinum certified by the RIAA. Charting placements in nations such as Austria, Ireland, and Japan spread word of the band, with their sound being compared to American pop punk acts such as Green Day and Sum 41.
November 2003 saw the release of Busted's second album, titled 'A Present For Everyone'. That album also charted at #2 in the UK. A live album, called 'A Ticket For Everyone', was released in November 2004, with the group facing inter-member tension.
The band split in January 2005 after Charlie decided to focus on his rock band Fightstar. Matt went on to release a solo album and has since become a television presenter with his wife. James founded the short-lived band Son Of Dork before focusing on songwriting.
The band reformed in 2013 without Charlie to make a supergroup with McFly to create McBusted
Busted annouced on 10 November 2015 that they are to reform as a trio, including Charlie, ten years after the band originally called it quits.

Busted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now.
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man, now
And with the radio blastin'
Goes cruisin' just as fast as she can, now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun,
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away.
Well, lynda sux really
'Cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace, now.
She makes the Indy 500
Look like the Roman Chariot Race, now.
A lot of guys try to catch her,
But she leads 'em on a wild goose chase, now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun,
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away.
Well, you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you, now
And since he took your set of keys,
You've been thinkin' that your fun is all through, now,
But you can come along with me
'Cause we've got a lot of things to do, now
And we'll have fun, fun, fun,
Now that daddy took the T-Bird away.
And we'll have fun, fun, fun,
Now that daddy took the T-Bird away.
The lyrics of Busted's song "Fun Fun Fun" tell the story of a rebellious teenage girl who takes her dad's car and goes cruising around town. She forgets about her responsibilities, such as going to the library, and just enjoys the freedom of driving with the radio blasting. The song describes her as a skilled driver, who is able to outrun any guy who tries to catch her.
However, her fun comes to an end when her father finds out and takes away the T-Bird. The girl initially feels like her fun is over, until a friend offers to show her a good time without a car. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the promise of more fun to come.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a celebration of teenage rebellion and the desire for freedom and excitement. The T-Bird serves as a symbol of that freedom, and its loss represents the consequences of breaking the rules. The song also touches on themes of friendship and the importance of finding joy in unexpected places.
