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 ↴
I don't think she likes me,
And thinking of her name,
Its driving me insane
She's my Psycho girl, my pshcho girlfriend,
Everything I say, she takes it the wrong way.
She's my psycho girl, my living nightmare,
I can't change her thinking,
But she's so good looking,
Thinking of her name,
Its driving me insane
She's my psycho girl, my psycho girlfriend,
Everything I say she takes it the wrong way,
She's my psycho girl, my living nightmare,
She's everything I need, but I can't stand her
We spent the night in, we started fighting,
Since then, its never been the same,
Thinking of her name, its driving me insane.
She's my psycho girl, my psycho girlfriend,
Everything I say she takes it the wrong way,
She's my psycho girl, my living nightmare,
She's eveything I need, but I can't stand her!
She's my Psycho girl, my pshcho girlfriend,
Everything I say, she takes it the wrong way.
She's my psycho girl, my living nightmare,
She's everything I need, but I can't stand her
She's my Psycho girl, my pshcho girlfriend,
Everything I say, she takes it the wrong way.
She's my psycho girl, my living nightmare,
She's everything I need, but I can't stand her

Despite this, the singer finds themselves inexplicably attracted to her, as they acknowledge that she is everything they need but cannot stand her at the same time. The repetition of the phrase "She's my psycho girl" emphasizes the turbulent nature of the relationship, and how the girl's thoughts always seem to spiral out of control, causing arguments and misunderstandings.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of frustration and helplessness on the part of the singer, as they admit that they cannot change the girl's thinking, but they are still drawn to her good looks and seemingly unable to let go of the relationship. The use of the phrase "living nightmare" to describe the girl shows just how much of a toll being in a relationship with her has taken on the singer. Despite the obvious difficulties, however, the singer still finds themselves unable to break free from the attraction they have toward the psycho girl.
Overall, "Psycho Girl" by Busted is a song about the complexities of a tumultuous relationship with someone who is difficult and seemingly unstable. The lyrics capture the frustration and helplessness that can come with being in a relationship like this, while also acknowledging that the attraction to the psycho girl is hard to resist.
