Their name comes from bananaCUE (bananas cooked with charcoals, a delicacy in the Philippines) and the pronoun "she." They used to practice their music in the bedroom of their current bandleader Mike Manaloto -- it was the band’s makeshift rehearsal studio. After practice, they would have Banana Cue, a cheap but nutritious Filipino street food for snacks, as it was what they could afford as students. This became the inspiration for the first syllable of the band's name. The “shé”, pronounced 'shay,' comes from the gender of the vocalist, who was female. According to the band, an accent was added at the end of Cueshé to make it attractive to hear.
After surviving a near-death motorcycle mishap in December 24, 2001, Jay Justiniani replaced the female vocalist.
Guitarist/lead vocalist Ruben Caballero later joined the group. His contribution to the band evolved from only doing vocals with Jay to playing the guitar. Pianist/Keyboardist Jhunjie Dosdos came into the band with musical experience from his younger years. He joined numerous singing contests when he was still a kid. In his former band, he performed vocals and guitars.
In March 2005, the band took a risk by moving to the capital to become full-time musicians. They were urgently signed up and rushed to the studio.

Bakit?
Cueshé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tuwing kapiling ka, ngiti mo'y wala na
At bakit ba bigla ng nag-iba
Tunay na pag-ibig ngayo'y malabo na
At bakit lahat ay nag-iba
Maari bang sabihin mo na
Kung sa akin ika'y mawawala
Nasa'n na ngiti na kay ganda
Buong buhay ko'y umikot lang sa'yo
Ngunit bakit ba bigla lang nag-iba
Ang kulay ng mundo ko sa'yo
At bakit lahat ay nag-iba
Maari bang sabihin mo na
Kung sa akin ika'y mawawala
At bakit lahat ay nag-iba
Maari bang sabihin mo na
Kung sa akin ika'y mawawala
Itong awit na tanging ala-ala na lang
These lyrics to Cueshé's song Bakit? express the confusion and heartbreak of a person who is in love but feels like their relationship is falling apart. The first verse describes a situation where the person is no longer happy when they are with the person they love. This person used to make them smile, but now they are unable to elicit any emotion. The chorus asks why things have changed and requests that the person they love explains why everything feels different. They are explicitly seeking an answer as to whether the person they love is planning on leaving them. However, as the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that the relationship is already over. The bridge of the song contains the lyrics "Itong awit na tanging ala-ala na lang" which means "This song will remain as a mere memory." This change in tone emphasizes the finality of the relationship and highlights the pain of losing someone they love.
In summary, the song Bakit? is a melancholic yet beautiful reflection on the end of a relationship. It begins by capturing the confusion and heartbreak of a person who is in love but feels like their relationship is falling apart. It seeks answers to why everything feels so different and explores the pain of losing someone they love. The final few lyrics intimate to the listener that everything is now mere memory.

Bakit ba hindi na masaya
Why am I not happy anymore?
Tuwing kapiling ka, ngiti mo'y wala na
Every time I'm with you, your smile is gone
At bakit ba bigla ng nag-iba
And why did everything suddenly change?
Tunay na pag-ibig ngayo'y malabo na
Our love that used to be so clear, now it's hazy
At bakit lahat ay nag-iba
And why did everything else change?
Maari bang sabihin mo na
Can you please tell me
Kung sa akin ika'y mawawala
If you're going to leave me
Nasa'n na ngiti na kay ganda
Where has your beautiful smile gone?
Buong buhay ko'y umikot lang sa'yo
My whole life revolves around you
Ngunit bakit ba bigla lang nag-iba
But why did it suddenly change?
Ang kulay ng mundo ko sa'yo
The color of my world is you
Itong awit na tanging ala-ala na lang
This song will only be a memory

Dapat ang mga kantang tulad nito ang laging napapakinggan kahit saan. Hindi yang mga pntaug iuaug mga kanta ng mga pnuyetaug artistang pilit kumanta nagkakaalbum. Who's with me? Agree?!

Sa mga nakaka relate sa kantang ito, hindi lang kayo nag iisa. Kung may pinagdaraanan man tayo sa buhay pag-ibig, lagi nating iisipin na makakaya at malalampasan natin ito. Hindi tayo pababayan ni Lord. Kaya natin to, laban lang...
