Who's David

This was written by James Bourne and future McFly member Tom Fletcher during their 2003 tour. The song is about a jealous and paranoid boyfriend who goes through his girlfriend's mobile phone only to find a stack of texts from someone called David.

Guitarist Charlie Simpson recalls: "James and Tom were in a room at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester. All my mates were at the gig that night so I was downstairs at the bar having a drink and every so often I'd run upstairs and see how James and Tom were getting on. They finished the song at 8 o'clock the following morning."
"If you're wondering who David is," James explains, "It isn't about anyone at all. I just chose that name because it rhymed with 'invaded.'" (above 2 from 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh)

This sold 71,000 in total, which was at the time the smallest amount for a UK #1 record.
