"Obviously" is the second single from the British pop band McFly. The CD features a cover version of The Beatles' "Help!". The band recorded a special interview that could be heard on the Maxi and 12" Picture disc where they responded to questions posted by their fans.
The song is about the lead singer having a crush on a girl he knows is way out of his league. He really wants that girl, but he knows that he never will be good enough for her. Even though he had given up and desperately wanted to ignore the fact, it was impossible to get rid of it.
Chart performance
It was their second number one single on the UK Singles Chart. It topped the charts for one week. It was no 14 in Ireland.
The video features the boys as caddies in a golf game which features the characters mentioned in the song. The band members eventually have fun around the golf course on the buggies. Shots also involve them being in a hall where they play their instruments.
