The next album is currently being worked on. Mcfly have played some new material on their recent tour Keep Calm and Play Louder. They'll also be releasing a single Red which is also to be on the album. It was originally not intended to be released as a single however after being tested and performing on tour and the great reaction Mcfly have decided that this seemed the most popular out of the new material they played.
