Background Information
The song was written by former Busted member James Bourne. The lyrics are about collecting so-called ‘friends’ on sites like MySpace and Facebook and not even knowing who any of them are. Although there are reports of the track being written especially for Quigg, these reports are not true as Bourne performed the song in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or information:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
