James Bourne and Tom Fletcher in their
younger days when they wrote together for
Busted.

At the young age of 14, Tom started song writing commercially. Then around 16/17, Tom auditioned to be in Busted, he got in however Island Records decided that Busted should only have 3 people in therefore he lost out to Charlie Simpson, Tom stated:

"I was in Busted for approximately 24 hours"

Even though the record label was against Tom being in Busted, they offered him a position in James Bourne (who was a member of Busted and an accomplished songwriter) writing team for the band. Fletcher accepted and has said that it was Bourne who helped him develop as a songwriter, teaching him ways to structure and create good songs.

While writing Busted' second album, the record label asked Tom to film some auditions for a band called V. This was where Tom and Danny first met, Fletcher was impressed with Danny's style and asked him to join him and James Bourne writing team. After they finished writing the album, Danny and Tom continued writing together, they even stayed at the InterContinental Hotel for 2 months writing songs for their band. Then Dougie and Harry was recruited after an audition after they saw an advertisement in a magazine.
