Freddy Fazbear debuted as the lead animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's in 2014, created by Scott Cawthon, and became a lasting horror game mascot. Cupid, the 2023 single by South Korean group Fifty Fifty, spread quickly on TikTok thanks to its sped up English version. Fans began putting unlikely characters over the bright chorus in AI cover and edit videos, and Freddy became a favourite choice because his image clashes with the song. The pairing remains popular for short FNAF memes and ironic romance edits.
