Tell Me Where It Hurts (Garbage Song)

"Tell Me Where It Hurts" is the 2007 lead single from alternative rock band Garbage's career-spanning greatest hits album Absolute Garbage, and was released as a physical single by A&E Records in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as a digital single or airplay-only release in other worldwide territories.

"Tell Me Where It Hurts" was written by Garbage members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig in Los Angeles in March 2007 after an eighteen month hiatus from working as a group, as they needed to write some new songs for inclusion on Absolute Garbage. The song was written around a string arrangement by the band coupled with newly written lyrics and a title that vocalist Manson had come up with a few years prior.
