這首歌於1958年由 Howard Greenfield和Neil Sedaka作曲，Connie Francis唱紅。2000年Mandy Moore在《公主日記》(The Princess Diaries)片中穿插唱出此曲。

《公主日記》是迪士尼公司2000年出品的電影，由茱莉·安德魯斯、安海瑟威、曼蒂·摩爾主演，加里馬歇爾執導，改編自同名英語小說。講述一個紐約城裡一個普普通通的女孩兒，甚至在學校被視為透明，但被證實是一個臨近小國的公主，而後公主由皇后奶奶調教為舉止優雅的真正公主，並最終選擇擔當起治理國家的責任的故事。

“Stupid Cupid” is a song written by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka which became a hit for Connie Francis in 1958.
In the spring of 1958 Francis had hit #4 with her breakout hit, a rock ballad version of the standard “Who’s Sorry Now?”. The similarly-styled follow-up”I’m Sorry I Made You Cry” had barely reached the Top 40 and Francis recalls: “I knew I had to come up with a hit on the third record. It was crucial. I listened to every publisher’s song in New York, but nothing was hitting me.” Eventually Don Kirshner of Aldon Music had Greenfield and Sedaka, who were staff writers for Aldon, visit Francis at her home to pitch their songs; after listening to a number of ballads—which both Francis and her visitor Bobby Darin felt were too sophisticated to appeal to the teen market—Francis asked if the songwriters had “something a little more lively” and Greenfield asked Sedaka to play “Stupid Cupid”, an uptempo number intended for the Shepherd Sisters. Sedaka objected that Francis, a “classy lady”, would be insulted to be pitched such a puerile song; but Greenfield dismissed Sedaka’s objection, saying, “What have we got to lose, she hates everything we wrote, doesn’t she? Play it already!” After hearing only a few lines Francis recalls: “I started jumping up and down and I said, ‘That’s it! You guys got my next record!'”
Francis cut “Stupid Cupid” on 18 June 1958 at Metropolitan Studio (NYC); LeRoy Holmes conducted the orchestra while Morty Kraft produced the session. Noteworthy in the recording is the uncredited bass guitar work; a complex and energetic riff that has survived the decades and has proven to be one of early rock and roll’s best recorded bass guitar sessions. A version of “Carolina Moon” recorded at Metropolitan Studio that 9 June with Kraft producing and Joe Lipman conducting was utilized as the B-side. “Stupid Cupid” provided a reasonably strong comeback vehicle for Francis reaching the Top 15 that August with a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #14. Francis would have to wait until 1959 to make her return to the Top 10 via “My Happiness”.
In the UK Francis had made more chart impact than in the US with both “Who’s Sorry Now?” (#1) and “I’m Sorry I Made You Cry” (#11); this trend continued with “Stupid Cupid” which—as a double sided hit with “Carolina Moon”—spent six weeks at #1 UK matching the success of “Who’s Sorry Now”. Francis would remain a potent UK chart force for the next four years with fifteen Top Twenty singles—eight of them Top Ten—but she would never again reach #1 UK despite topping the US charts three times in the early 60s.
