"Hurt Lovers" is a song recorded by English boy band Blue for their fourth studio album, ''Roulette'' (2013). It was released in Austria, Germany and Switzerland as the album's lead single on 4 January 2013, three weeks prior to the release of the album.〔(Roulette: Amazon.de: Musik )〕 It was Blue's first official single in two years, following the release of their Eurovision 2011 entry, "I Can", in May 2011. The song became Blue's sixth top 10 hit in Germany, where it peaked at number seven. The song also serves as the official theme for the German film ''Schlussmacher''. "Hurt Lovers" was released in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2013. It charted at number 70 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming their lowest-charting single to date in the UK. ==Background== Blue began recording new material in July 2010, three months after they first got back together, after a five-year break from the music industry. In an interview, the band claimed that "Hurt Lovers" was one of the first tracks they recorded after reuniting, and that it was an obvious choice for the band's reunion single. The track was written by Alexander Zuckowski, Martin "Fly" Fliegenschmidt, Jez Ashurst, and David Jost. Blue first premiered "Hurt Lovers" during a concert in China on 22 June 2012. It received positive reception across Asia, before being officially premiered in Germany on 6 October 2012. Thus, the creators of the film ''Schlussmacher'' approached the band, and asked if the song could be used as the official theme for the film. Thus, the track received an early release in Germany on 4 January 2013, before being released across the world later in the year. In promotion of the single, Blue performed it live on ''The Voice of Romania'' in December 2012, as well as embarking on an acoustic radio tour across six cities in Germany.〔()〕 They also performed it on ''The Late Late Show'' in Ireland on 26 April 2013. 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 Lovers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
