Busted have teamed up with Neck Deep for a new version of their classic track Meet You There.
Originally recorded for their second studio album, ‘A Present for Everyone’ (2003), the acoustic track has been given a full-band makeover for the group’s upcoming greatest hits record.
Announcing the release, the band – starring Matt Willis, James Bourne and Charlie Simpson – said: “While the original was an acoustic ballad, this new version is a balls out rock explosion, with Neck Deep who sound awesome on it.”

Busted will release their first-ever greatest hits LP later this year, featuring re-worked classics from their career and guest stars including All Time Low, McFly and Simple Plan, who feature on Loser Kid 2.0.
Speaking exclusively in RETROPOP’s May 2023 cover feature, Charlie teases: “There’s a couple of songs we’ve completely reworked. Meet You There is now a full band song and it sounds really great.”
Marking their latest milestone, the band will also embark on a huge arena tour, kicking off in September and playing across the UK and Ireland through October – with Matt promising it will be their “best ever”.
“We have so many ideas,” he says. “We’re in the stage where we’re throwing everything at people and they’re saying, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.’ Then they come back and say, ‘No, no, no, no, no – that’s gonna cost you all of your money. You can’t do that!’
“But at the moment, we’re just coming up with the coolest shit we can think of and if 30 per cent of what we’ve come up with happens, it will be the best show ever.”
