Cher and Diane Warren’s long-running creative connection got a lighthearted spotlight after Warren shared a memorable compliment from the singer.
During a recent public conversation, Warren recalled that Cher once called her annoying, then quickly added that she writes great songs. The comment was framed as playful, not harsh, and reflected the kind of blunt humor often associated with their decades of working relationship.
Warren and Cher are closely linked through If I Could Turn Back Time, the 1989 hit that became one of Cher’s signature songs. Warren wrote the track, which helped define a major chapter in Cher’s pop career and remains one of the most recognizable songs in her catalog.
