The Lost Songs is a collection of demo recordings released by English pop rock band McFly in 2019 and 2020. The songs were originally intended for the band's sixth studio album which was then shelved.[3] McFly recorded a full album in 2011 before focusing on supergroup McBusted.[4]
One song from the collection was released per week leading up to the band's concert in the O2 Arena in London on 20 November 2019, marking the end of a three-year hiatus.[5] The release of the songs was accompanied by a YouTube series of the same name, in which the band discussed one song per episode.[6][7] The collection was initially only available on streaming but it has since been released on digital downloads.
