5 Colours in Her Hair
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
She's got a lip ring and five colours in her hair
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears
Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear
She don't care
Everybody wants to know her name
I threw a house party and she came
Everyone asked me
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
She's just a loner with a sexy attitude
I'd like to bone her 'cause she puts me in the mood
The rumors spreading round that she cooks in the nude
But she don't care, she don't care
Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
She was all I thought about
The girl I couldn't live without
But then she went insane,
She couldn't take the fame
She said I was to blame
She'd had enough
And shaved five colours off
And now she's just a weirdo with no name
Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
The song 5 Colours in Her Hair by McFly tells the story of a fascinating, unique woman who captures the attention of everyone around her. With a lip ring and five different colors in her hair, she stands out even though she’s not interested in following fashion. The singer is enamored with her attitude and the way she wears her clothes, but the song makes clear that many others are interested in her as well. After the singer throws a party, the guests are all talking about the girl with five colors in her hair and wanting to know who she is.
The second verse posits the girl as a bit of a loner who the singer would like to get to know better. He’s heard rumors that she cooks naked, but it seems like she doesn’t really care about what people think of her either way. The chorus repeats the same lines, with everyone asking who this mysterious girl is.
In the final verse, the girl seems to have a bit of a breakdown. She can’t take the attention and cuts all of the colors out of her hair, essentially removing the thing that made her stand out in the first place. The singer is left to answer the same questions about who she is, but she’s now anonymous once again.
Overall, the song is about the way that people are drawn to those who stick out from the crowd, but how this attention can sometimes be more harmful than good.

Listening to this song again in 2023! 14 years ago I was just 14 years old and inlove with Mcfly. Now I’m 28 and my love for them hasn’t faded one bit. This brings back so many precious memories. ❤
@Stupidestvideos
This song is from 2004 by the way so it’s 20 years old now
@ProjectsOfPugh
I can't believe that this was number 1 in the UK charts 9 years ago today! 9 years! It's still a classic, and I am so glad that McFly are still performing together :)
