"You Said No" (also known by its original title, "Crash and Burn") is a song by English pop punk band Busted. It was released on 21 April 2003 as the third single from their debut studio album Busted (2002). The song was written by band members James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson, along with Steve Robson and John McLaughlin, and produced by Robson and Graham Stewart.

"You Said No" became Busted's first song to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart. With previous singles "What I Go to School For" and "Year 3000" having peaked at number three and number two, respectively, Busted also became the first band ever to enter the UK charts 3-2-1 with their first three singles.

"You Said No" is about being rejected at a disco by a girl and feeling humiliated. The song was first recorded under the title "Crash and Burn", and this version was included on the first pressing of Busted. The title of the song was changed in the aftermath of the Columbia Shuttle disaster of February 2003, as the original name was deemed "inappropriate". In an interview with Newsround, Matt Willis said, "We were deciding what single to go for just as that happened and we really wanted to use Crash and Burn but we thought the name was inappropriate - it would have been bad taste." The song was renamed "You Said No", slightly reworked, and this version was subsequently released as a single and included on further pressings of Busted.

In 1000 UK Number One Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, James Bourne recalled: "I remember we sat down for a writing session and Charlie was talking about being blown out by a girl. He said 'I crashed and burned' which was something I had never heard before. Then we tied it in with a song we already had about a girl who was so fit and she knew it and we renamed it 'You Said No.'"
