Track Description
Available in:
"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.

The promotional video for "Tell Me Where It Hurts" was directed by Sophie Muller for Oil Factory and filmed in late April in Los Angeles. Muller suggested an homage to Luis Buñuel's 1967 movie Belle de jour in her treatment for the video, along with an ultra-modern French-inspired set, which Garbage felt was perfect for what they wanted visually accompany the song. Opening with a tracking shot of Manson arriving at a high-class brothel, dressed like Catherine Deneuve in Belle de jour, where inside she meets the brothel owner, several other girls and three male patrons played by Erikson, Marker and Vig. Picking up a young man in a cafe, Manson partakes in various light sexual acts with him, shown on screen through subtle visual innuendo, suggestive camera shots, and aggressive editing. After night-vision scenes showing Manson with facial bruising, she returns to the brothel parlour in defiance of the others, attending to the young man who is now blind and uses a wheelchair. The cafe scene featured a cameo from members of Wisconsin band Wandering Sons.
