Motion in the Ocean is the third studio album released by English pop rock band McFly. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2006. The album has sold more than 300,000 copies in the UK since its release, being ceritified platinum. The tour edition of the album was released on 14 May 2007. Alongside the addition of bonus track "Baby's Coming Back", the album was accompanied by a DVD of the Motion in the Ocean Tour 2006, recorded live at Wembley Arena. The album was a limited edition. This version of the album reached number fourteen on the official album chart, selling 11,256 copies.
The album was recorded in the infamous Grouse Lodge recording studio in Westmeath, Ireland. The album's first song, We Are The Young, first featured as a demo B-side to the single Star Girl. This version is slightly different, with stronger piano riffs. Please Please contains obvious references to actress Lindsay Lohan, who drummer Harry Judd met on the set of Lohan's movie Just My Luck, in which McFly made an appearance. Lohan is not mentioned specifically, but the woman featured in the video for the song has green eyes, red hair, and is named Lindsay. The name tag on her nurse's uniform also says "Lindsay Allbright" – Lohan's character in Just My Luck was named "Ashley Allbright." The band's official position, as stated in the album notes, is that the song is not about Lohan.
