Interesting facts and trivia about Wonderful Life. By Songfacts®.

Hurts are a Manchester-based electronic duo consisting of synthesizer player Adam Anderson and vocalist Theo Hutchcraft, both of whom used to be in a group called Daggers. This is their debut single.

Hutchcraft told Digital Spy about the song: "It's basically based on two extremes: the first being a man who wants to kill himself and the second being love at first sight. He's standing on the bridge about to jump and he's stopped by a woman. They see each other and fall in love. She basically says, 'Come with me, it's all going to be fine'. The song only offers a snippet of someone's life, so we don't know what happens at the end of it."

Theo Hutchcraft was asked by Digital Spy if the song was written from personal experience. He replied: "It was more an idea - Adam and I are both quite visual writers. It's a story but it's also about us wanting to be saved, because until recently we both had a pretty terrible life being on the dole."
