Young Dumb Thrills is the sixth studio album from English pop rock band McFly.

In 2013, McFly's sixth studio album was put on hold when they teamed up with Matt Willis and James Bourne from Busted to form the supergroup McBusted.

After two years of touring and a self-titled album, Willis and Bourne's former bandmate Charlie Simpson agreed to return to Busted, thus bringing McBusted to an end.

On 3 July 2020, McFly announced The Lost Songs, a collection of demo recordings and their first unreleased material in nearly a decade.

That same month, the band revealed that their long-awaited sixth studio album would be called Young Dumb Thrills, and also announced "Happiness" as its lead single.
