The Mancunian duo, who are gearing up for the release of their debut album Happiness, said that the clip for 'Wonderful Life' explores the vision they had for the song when they originally filmed a video for it a year earlier.
Singer Theo Hutchcraft told Digital Spy: "The new video's a tribute to the first one. It's very anti-Ibiza. We had 20 quid to make the first one and we were stuck in a s**tty room with a girl we didn't know."
Hutchcraft also explained that they attempted to find the woman in the first video to star in their remake.
He added: "Our vision was always to make the video that we have now. We wanted the girl from the original to appear in the new one actually, and we spent six months trying to find her, but we didn't manage to track her down.
"At the time we just posted an advert in a shop window and she was the only person who came! It's unbelievable that the original clip now has something like three million YouTube hits."
Hurts' album Happiness is out September 6.
