Miss Taken (EP)

Miss Taken (Demos) is the debut extended play (EP) by English-Irish boy band RoadTrip. It was released independently on 13 April 2017 by Trans International Records and reached number one on iTunes for best-selling pre-orders."RoadTrip". Instagram. 27 March 2017.
Most of the tracks relate to love, whether it be about infatuation or caring for someone. While some of the songs are light-hearted, such as "Miss Taken" having a crush on their teacher to "After the Show" addressing the clichés attached to boy bands, the song "Don't Hurt Yourself" deals with the subject matter of self-harm. In 2020, Andy Fowler named it to be his third favourite EP out of the five."Fovvs (@fovvs)". Twitter. 5 March 2017.

Some of the creation process has been shown in two of RoadTrip's vlogs, "Writing Our First Song!" and "Recording Our #1 EP!" Fowler mentioned around July 2015 of him, Rye Beaumont, Blair Dreelan, and a trialist at the time throwing out band names, with "Miss Taken" being one of them. Fowler believed that it was good for a song title."RoadTrip". Live.ly. 27 January 2018. The cover artwork was from a photo shoot in their December 2016 vlog, "He Passed Out and Wasn't Waking Up!" Unreleased songs the band performed at previous concerts, "I.L.Y" and "Wild Ones", may have been for their first EP, but scrapped.Both songs have been performed during their second headline tour in September 2016, Roadies on Tour.
