It is unknown whether this track will be on the new McFly album.
On 19 May the band announced via their Twitter page that they would also be playing a two-date special concert at the Royal Albert Hall in celebration of their 10th anniversary as a band.
Due to huge demand, two extra dates were announced.
In addition, the Saturday show was streamed live from the band's website for fans who couldn't attend.
During an interview with the Big Top 40 Webchat, Fletcher described the shows as his "favourite shows we've ever played".
All four shows were held in September and featured McBusted, a surprise collaboration between McFly and Busted, minus Charlie Simpson.
Following the shows with Busted, the two bands announced a 30-date UK arena tour as McBusted.
The McBusted Tour was the biggest tour of 2014.

In 2015, they embarked on a second McBusted tour, McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour.
They also released a DVD following the tour.

On 21 June, a solo interview by Fletcher was published by Fabulous magazine in time for Father's Day.
Fletcher stated that "McBusted was an opportunity to have fun without knowing where it would take us, but McFly is for life.
McBusted has been amazing fun, but it's not where our passion is.
McFly is more than a band, we live and breathe it.
We want to make album number six."

On a documentary with Fearne Cotton, Jones confirmed that McFly have three unreleased albums.
The band are currently on a hiatus but hint on a future reunion, with Jones stating "It's really nice to have a bit of breathing space after 12½ years with McFly.
We've never really had this time off, so we'll give it a few months and see how we feel.
When we're all refreshed, we'll go and smash an album."
