As they launch into their 20th anniversary celebrations, Busted have offered up a teaser of their new single Loser Kid 2.0 with Simple Plan.
Lifted from the band’s upcoming re-recorded Greatest Hits LP, the track originally featured as the closing song on their eponymous debut album.
In a new TikTok clip, Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis are seen in the studio as a 15-second snippet of the track plays in the background.

Loser Kid 2.0 is released Friday, April 14.
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.
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.”
