"Hurts" is a song by Scottish recording artist Emeli Sandé. It was written by Sandé along with James Murray, Mustafa Omer, Matthew Holmes, and Philip Leigh for her second album Long Live the Angels (2016), while production was helmed by Mojam and duo Mac & Phil. Built around layers of percussion and double quick hand claps, the song was released as the album's lead single on 16 September 2016 through Virgin Records in the United Kingdom.
It has since peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top ten in Scotland and the Wallonian region of Belgium. An accompanying music video, directed by Dawn Shadforth, was released on 5 October 2016.
