No shade, but lets be honest here, any composer would prefer his/her songs being performed by the biggest artists, so they usually send the demos to the top ones first. So I'd assume it was sent to literally any big Kpop gg and nobody, fucking nobody saw a potential in it, isn't that crazy?
JYP and SM's song filter seems to be working the opposite way, they filter and keep the shittiest ones and the best ones ended up going to these other ggs 
Maybe yeah, the big companies wanted more exciting, disjointed “kpop-like” songs and rejected the Cupid demo for being too safe
Jokes on them lol

It seems to me that the problem is that album production teams are made to feel very safe. Like in the world of capitalism if you keep failing and failing, someone will show you the door. It is just crazy to me that Nmixx is doing this bad and the same people keep appearing in their credits. Like heads should be rolling in JYP at the moment. The blame is rather put on the group.
But good and hit potential song aren't the same thing. Song can be good but only good enough to be a be side. There are many such songs I like and listen to but I know they ain't the kind of songs that'd top the chart.
When Nayeon's Pop was released I said immediately that I have hopes for the song to do well and it did. Catchiness is a very easy thing to figure out, even we sitting on a Kpop forum most of the time are able to predict how a song will perform.

Not all catchy songs do well
Rolling would have remained buried if it wasn't for soldier boys
There's really know way of knowing which songs people will like, otherwise everyone would be releasing hits after hits.
For example, I thought Lovin Me is probably their best song so far and I woulda thought that woulda been a hit, Lovin Me is 10x better than Cupid but that's just me. 
maybe it help that the ladies has such nice voices that match that song? so vibey and melodic

Not if it was performed by big company gg, which was my point

Well, it is some people's job, whether it is easy or not.

Unfortunately, song picking is an art, not a science which means sometimes these things just slip by.

Yeah I agree. Their vocals elevate the song imo.
its an extremely basic and forgettable song
but its "nice" as in very inoffensive to the ears for a wide audience
big groups usually go for unique songs that people either LOVE or hate
so it makes sense they wouldnt want this
if a big group released this, it'd be called low effort b-side

Only by kore*boos on forum boards. Normal people don't listen to a song and think "That's a great song, but only if released by a nugu group. Unacceptable to a famous group release this"
Among multiple factors, it also depends on whether or not the song fits with those other groups' concept. The top girl groups from big companies are very performance-focused, meaning there's a lot of emphasis on high-energy choreo. I don't think you could really choreograph that with a song like "Cupid," at least not as a title track.
