"You Said No" is the third single by English pop punk boyband Busted, released from their debut album Busted on April 21, 2003. The single was exclusively released in the UK. The song became their first to reach number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The song is about being rejected at a disco by a girl and feeling humiliated. It was composed by the three members of Busted, Steve Robson and John McLaughlin.

Background

The song was first recorded under the title "Crash and Burn", and this version was included on the first pressing of Busted. The title of the song was changed in the aftermath of the Columbia Shuttle disaster of February 2003,[2] as the original name was deemed "inappropriate".[3] The song was renamed "You Said No", slighty reworked, and this version was subsequently released as a single and included on further pressings of Busted. In the video for the song, Busted try to impress some girls by doing bike stunts at a rally, before being bettered by more experienced riders. Despite this, the video suggests that the singers find someone afterwards: an attractive nurse. When the video first aired on television, the fictitious name shown at the beginning for James Bourne's character was 'James Harris'. This was a private joke and was later changed. "You Said No" was promoted by appearances on CD:UK, The Saturday Show, Blue Peter, Top of the Pops and its spin-off show Top of the Pops Saturday, and Re:covered. Busted also performed it live at the Disney Kids Awards, Party in the Park, Prom in the Park, and Christmas in Popworld.[4] In a review for the song, Music Week stated: "Self-deprecating and completely infectious, this will be all over the radio",[5] while Scotland's Daily Record made it Single of the Week.[6] UKMIX was less enthusiastic, regarding the song as "nowhere near as interesting as "Year 3000" or "What I Go to School For", but pretty amusing when you think about the bad lyrics".[7]
