The song was sold digitally in Norway from July 5.

It is included on 25, a compilation album released on July 19.

Much like many of A-ha's early music videos (including that of "Take On Me"), the music video for "Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)" was directed by Steve Barron,[2] and features stop-frame animation by student animator Stefan Ramirez.

The video shows the band playing under a bridge (shot on location in Shoreham-by-Sea) amidst clips from previous music videos for Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines on T.V., Manhattan Skyline and Cry Wolf (all directed by Barron) intercut and projected onto the concrete pillars.

The video ends with the band embracing one last time before leaping into the air, transforming into butterflies and flying away.
