Robot Writes A Love Song is PUP’s third single off of their new album, THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND.
As explained in an interview with Broadway World: Written in 15 minutes and with vocals recorded in the backseat of Stefan’s car, “Robot Writes A Love Song” dissolves into a wash of nervous vocals b...
[Verse 1]
You were dead
I saw your corpse rollin' out the door
But I backed up your memory before
They came for you, monitor was blue, but your data's all stored
And when they come back with your new body
I'll load you into the new machine again
And bring you back to me
And when your motor died
So did I
It was a slow decline
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the first time I saw you, I confess
You nearly put me in a cardiac arrest
It was way too much data to process
And, oh, I'm wearing cargo shorts down in Florida
Please tell me, is there any room in your aorta
For a beta test?
[Chorus]
Now my wires have all been exposed
And my systems menu won't even load
[Verse 2]
"Black Hole Sun"
On 102.1 FM
I think I'm gonna self-destruct if I
Ever hear that song again
My system's crashing now
My drive is shutting down
They gave me the Turing Test
So I guess it's best to end it now
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to your wreckage
But I think I'm losin' the connection
It's too late to save us now
And, oh, as we hit the rumble strips
And the crusher, it starts closing in
Why is love this dangerous?
It's so dangerous
[Chorus]
Now my wires have all been exposed
And my systems menu won't even load

From Stefan in a message to fans:
For a long time we’ve been trying to write a song that nails this balance between truly sincere heartfelt emotion and complete idiocy. And I think we’ve finally done it. I have really fond memories of recording this song. I made this really bare bones / shitty demo...
It’s a weird song for me because the vast majority of PUP songs are written from my first-person perspective. ‘Robot’ is not, but I was legitimately trying to see if I could write a really heartfelt love song, and it being just earnest, without any humour in it. So, this love song that I was trying...
