"Hurt" is a song by American recording artist Christina Aguilera. It was written by Aguilera, Linda Perry and Mark Ronson, and produced by Perry for Aguilera's fifth studio album, ''Back to Basics'' (2006). "Hurt" was released as the album's second single on September 19, 2006 by RCA Records instead of "Candyman", which was planned to be the second one. The song's lyrical content came after Aguilera's desire to record a song about losing someone and describes how one deals with the loss of a loved one. Perry developed the first draft of the song while Aguilera rewrote some of the lyrics, and the final version is a tribute to the pair's symbiotic teamwork. Its instrumentation comes from bass, cello, contrabass, drums, guitar, piano, viola and violin. "Hurt" received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Aguilera's vocals and the song's production. Commercially, the song attained moderate success in the United States, peaking at number 19 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100; it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold more than 1.1 million copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The song was a top-ten hit worldwide, reaching the top ten in Austria, Belgium and France, and received a certification in regions including Australia, Canada and Switzerland. An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Floria Sigismondi and co-directed by Aguilera in September 2006. It depicts Aguilera as a showgirl in a circus inspired by the 1920s and 1930s, suffering from her father's death, and realizing she was too wrapped up in her stardom to deal with what matters. It was well received and was nominated for a number of awards. "Hurt" has been performed by Aguilera on several occasions, including at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards and during her 2006–07 Back to Basics Tour. The song has been covered by aspiring singers on many music competitions around the world. ==Background and release== Aguilera's fifth studio album, ''Back to Basics'', is made up of two discs.〔 Aguilera worked with "more beat-driven" producers on the first disc, such as DJ Premier and Mark Ronson, who included samples in the production.〔 The second disc consists solely of collaborations with producer Linda Perry. Aguilera sent letters to different producers that she hoped could help her with the direction she was taking for the project, encouraging them to experiment, re-invent and create a modern soul feel. She described the second disc as "a '20s, '30s vibe with an authentic and organic twist".〔 Aguilera wanted to record a song about losing someone, and she asked Perry for help. Perry developed the idea while thinking about her father, who had died less than a year before the song's writing process. Perry commented, And she came to me, and had these two chords that her and this guy wrote, and she was like 'I really like these chords, can you turn this into a song? I want the song to be about losing someone'. And inside of me, I'm going 'You little fucking bitch, you totally know I lost my dad, and now you're gonna milk me my emotions'". Originally, "Candyman" was planned to be released as the second single from ''Back to Basics'' in late 2006, following the commercial success of the album's lead single "Ain't No Other Man" in June of that year. However, RCA Records decided to release "Hurt" instead because the label thought that "Hurt" would be a commercial success, similar to Aguilera's previous ballad hit "Beautiful" (2002). On September 17, 2006, RCA serviced "Hurt" to US contemporary hit radio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R&R :: Going for Adds :: Top 40/CHR )〕 In November, the label released the single for CD single in Australia, Germany, and United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hurt (Track CD ) () )〕 An extended play (EP) containing remixes of the song was purchased for digital download onto iTunes Stores worldwide on November 21, 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hurt (Re-Mixes) – EP )〕 In France, the CD-single of "Hurt" was released on January 8, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hurt (Christina Aguilera song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
