"Hurt Lovers" is a song by English boy band Blue. It was written by Alexander Zuckowski, Martin "Fly" Fliegenschmidt, Jez Ashurst, and David Jost and recorded for the group's fourth studio album, Roulette (2013). Production was helmed by Grubert and Zuckowski, with Fliegenschmidt and Kiko Masbaum credited as co-producers.
The song 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 Roulette.[1] It was Blue's first official single in two years, following the release of their Eurovision 2011 entry, "I Can", in May 2011. "Hurt Lovers" became Blue's sixth top 10 hit in Germany, where it peaked at number seven and served as the official theme for the German film Break Up Man (2013).[2] In the United Kingdom, the sond was released on 22 April 2013. It charted at number 70 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming their lowest-charting single by then in the UK.
