"Who's David" is a song by British pop rock band Busted. It was released on 16 February 2004 as the second single from their second studio album, A Present for Everyone. It was written co-written by Tom Fletcher, one of the lead vocalists and guitarists from the band McFly. The single features the live version of "Teenage Kicks", which the band performed at the 2004 Brit Awards ceremony. In response to being frequently asked "who is David?", Willis claimed that David is the name of his facial mole.[1]

The song was written about experiences with a girl who is unfaithful. The single peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's third number-one single, and their second consecutive.
