* "The song 'Cupid Carries a Gun' was the last track we just finished for my new album. The occult and witchcraft [are] so often used in cinema with a heinous disregard for even researching its origins. However, I liked the themes of Salem. It looks at the witch trials without being cliche like most modern films." - Marilyn Manson regarding WGN's ''Salem''.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/video-marilyn-manson-sings-opening-698730 ''hollywoodreporter.com'']</ref> | * "The song 'Cupid Carries a Gun' was the last track we just finished for my new album.

| − | * "Manson and I wrote a draft of 'Cupid Carries a Gun' shortly before I began working on the score for Salem. A couple weeks later I saw the title sequence and the song immediately came to mind. I showed it to Manson for fun more than anything, and it inspired us to finish the song that night. The next day I played it for '''Brannon Braga''' and he said that 'Cupid Carries a Gun' was the perfect tone and attitude for the show's main titles." - Tyler Bates regarding 'Cupid Carries a Gun' and ''Salem''.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/video-marilyn-manson-sings-opening-698730 ''hollywoodreporter.com'']</ref> | + | *"Manson and I wrote a draft of 'Cupid Carries a Gun' shortly before I began working on the score for Salem.
