The 'Lonely Lonely, I Guess I'm Lonely' meme stems from the viral success of the song 'Cupid' by the K-pop group FIFTY FIFTY. The specific lyric became a massive trend on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users paired the audio with images or videos depicting themselves as the 'third wheel' or reflecting on their single status. It resonates deeply with internet culture due to its contrast between the upbeat, sugary melody and the melancholic, self-deprecating lyrics. The meme is typically used to highlight feelings of isolation, being the only single person in a friend group, or simply embracing the 'hopeless romantic' aesthetic in a humorous, self-aware way.
