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.

Hard To Believe
Cueshé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That all the pain that we are feeling
Has some meaning in this world
It's so hard to believe
That everything you see is different
From the things that you've been told
I wanted life to be this way
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch
I find it hard to believe
That someone up there is waiting
With arms open wide and smiling
It's so hard to believe
When someone told me that your suffering
Is what you get for living
I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch
Because your love is still the only thing
That matters in this world
The only thing I can believe...
The song Hard To Believe by Cueshé explores the theme of faith and the struggles that come with believing in something beyond oneself. The opening lines express disbelief in the idea that pain and suffering can have any meaning in the world. It is a common existential question of why people must endure hardships and try to make sense of them. It is something that can be difficult to reconcile in the face of loss, tragedy and heartache. The second verse reflects on the idea of God or a higher power waiting with open arms to relieve our suffering. However, it's hard to believe that this could be true when life can be so harsh and unfair.
Throughout the song, the lyrics vie between hope and uncertainty. The chorus repeats the sentiment that love is what matters in this world, and the knowledge that someone loves us can bring us closer to heaven, even in the midst of pain. The song seems to be a call to hold on to love, even when it seems that everything else is falling apart. It encourages listeners to have faith and believe in something greater than themselves, even if it's hard.
