Specifically, Cher’s “Believe.” On an episode of _The Ellen Show_ with upcoming [sci-fi drama film _Passengers_](http://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/?iid=sr-link1) co-star Chris Pratt, the actress apologized for what she said must be an “annoying tic”—because she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. “No, it’s great! You just have an incredible singing voice,” the gracious Pratt assured her, although he admitted it could get difficult to remember his lines when she was serenading him, consciously or not. She even treated audiences to a piece of the song. “I was like, I do, I believe in life after love, I get it,” Pratt added. It turns out Pratt also has a hidden music talent: he can rap. But he cleverly avoided having to demonstrate his lyrical ways on the show by saying he would sweat too much.
