Cher has mentioned she refuses to sing or dislikes performing certain songs from her extensive catalog due to personal associations or musical preferences, though she has large catalog spanning decades. One song Cher has said she is tired of singing or reluctant to perform is Believe, despite it being her biggest hit, because she has performed it thousands of times and feels overexposed, though she still performs it at concerts due to fan demand. Another song Cher has expressed dislike for is her early Sonny and Cher material like I Got You Babe at times because of association with past marriage, though she occasionally performs it as tribute. Cher has also said she does not like singing some of her 1980s movie soundtrack songs that she feels did not represent her best work. In interviews, Cher has joked about being tired of If I Could Turn Back Time due to iconic costume and overplay, but still performs it. There is no single song Cher outright refuses to sing permanently, as she understands fans want hits, but she has expressed reluctance about Believe and Gypsys Tramps and Thieves at times. Like many artists with long careers, she has love-hate relationship with biggest hits, similar to how Paul Davis may have felt about I Go Crazy after years. So Cher does not have permanent refusal but has mentioned being tired of performing Believe most often.
