112’s “Cupid”: The Difference Between Being Loved and Being Believed
Description
When 112 sang “Cupid”, they gave us a love song wrapped in pleading and promise — a tune about wanting to be believed, wanted, and held accountable to the truth of someone’s words. This episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes sits with that tension: the place between a declaration and the proof that follows.
We’ll break the song down line by line and listen for the ways “Cupid” taught a generation to measure love by faith, endurance, and hopeful insistence. We’ll talk about what it meant to believe in someone back then, and what it means to want love that shows up consistently now. Expect lyric analysis, cultural context, and honest reflection about when hope becomes habit — and how to tell the difference.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- A close read of the lyrics and the emotional beats behind them
- How 90s R&B framed devotion, accountability, and longing
- The difference between being loved and being believed — and why both matter
- Personal reflections on hope, heartbreak, and the lessons songs taught us about relationships
- Questions to sit with (or journal on) when you’re deciding whether someone’s words are enough
If you grew up on 90s R&B or ever believed a promise so much you made room for it — this episode is for you. Tune in for a deep, candid conversation about what it really takes for love to be real.
