Lyrics
The song is about the lead singer having a crush on a girl he knows is way "out of his league". He really wants that girl, but he knows that he 'never will be good enough for her'. Even though he had given up and desperately wanted to ignore the fact, it was impossible to get rid of it.
Music video
The video features the boys as caddies in a golf game which features the characters mentioned in the song. The band members eventually have fun around the golf course on the buggies. Shots also involve them being in a hall where they play their instruments.
Other performances
The Derren Brown stage show Enigma ended with a video of McFly performing a version of the song in which Brown had ostensibly told them his prediction of the order in which randomly chosen members of the audience would shuffle a number of pictures.
