"On What You're On" is the lead single by English pop rock band Busted from their third studio album, Night Driver (2016).[2] It was written by the band and John Fields, and produced by Fields and co-produced by Alex Metric.

The single was first announced on 19 September when a short teaser trailer for the song was uploaded to the band's Twitter account.[3] Similar short videos were used to generate hype in the lead up to the release of the single at midnight on 30 September (on iTunes and Spotify).[4]

The song made its radio debut on the day of its release when the band was interviewed by Scott Mills during his show on BBC Radio 1.[5] The music video was released the same day.[6]

Musically, the song has been compared to Daft Punk and The 1975.[7] [8]
