This song is literally translated as "No matter how I act, it doesn't look like it". Since Yiliang likes retro disco very much, she has always wanted to write a retro dance song. She says in her youtube video description, "Even now I am still exploring myself. In the past few years, I have visited many unfamiliar environments and moved around a lot for work. I am also anxious, and of course I have always lacked confidence. I think I am definitely still on the road of finding out many things"

Faye Wong, Wang Fei has a new song in 2025! Faye Wong's new song is called Shi Jie Zeng Yu Wo de, or literally translated "What the world gifted me". This is also Faye Wong's new single released nearly three years after she sang the theme song "The Wind on the Return" for the movie "The Journey Home" in 2022.
According to her official youtube channel , Faye Wong's new song is set to officially premiere on January 24. However, Chinese media reports that Faye Wong will perform "What the World Gave Me" on the stage of the 2025 Spring Festival Gala this year, and the CCTV 春晚 youtube channel (CCTV Spring Festival Gala ) released Faye Wong's official video on January 22nd, a day ago. . So, here is the song and video from this channel:
Album Version:
有人放烟花 有人追晚风 Yǒurén fàng yānhuā yǒurén zhuī wǎn fēng (Some people set off fireworks, some people chase the evening breeze)
借一缕时光 捧一片星空 jiè yī lǚ shíguāng pěng yīpiàn xīngkōng (Borrowing a ray of time, and holding a piece of the starry sky)

P.S Bonus: Esther Yu Making of the song at end of post
眼中的天 总是 耀眼的蓝 Yǎnzhōng de tiān zǒng shì yàoyǎn de lán ( In my eyes, the sky will always be dazzling blue)
离港的船 扬帆 静待风来 lí gǎng de chuán yángfān jìng dài fēng lái (The ship leaving the port sets sail and waits for the wind to come)
它说冲破重重阻碍 tā shuō chōngpò chóngchóng zǔ'ài (It says that when it breaks through obstacles)
This song has gained surprising popularity on TikTok in non-Asian countries, despite being quite old. It's interesting to note that many popular Chinese songs in those countries aren’t necessarily current hits or mainstream tracks. An example I mentioned previously is "Jin Sheng Yuan" (今生缘), also known as "Affinities of This Life," which has also gained significant attention.
Fei Yu Qing- Yi Qian Mei 费玉清 一剪梅 or also known as Xue Hua Piao Piao 雪花飘飘. This song was first released in 1983, . The lyrics of the song symbolize the strength and persistence of true love, comparing it to plum blossoms that bloom in harsh winter, unshaken by cold ice and snow. The song emphasizes that true love is vast and enduring, capable of withstanding any challenges, like wind and rain. The line "There will always be a time when the clouds will clear and the sun will shine on you and me" conveys the hope that difficulties will eventually pass, leading to a brighter future.
How did it get so popular? It all started with a video posted on Kuaishou by a man named Dan Ge (Zhang Aiqin) or aptly named “Egg Shaped man” in 2010.He sang two lines of the climax of "Yi Jian Mei" outdoors in the snow: "Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is howling, and the world is vast." After the video went viral on Kuaishou, it was reposted to YouTube and quickly garnered millions of views.
This is the original version:
真情像草原广阔 Zhēnqíng xiàng cǎoyuán guǎngkuò (True love is as vast as the grassland)
Interestingly, while exploring popular Chinese songs, I noticed that in many non-Chinese speaking countries, the Chinese songs that gained popularity were often quite different from those in the mainstream Chinese music scene. This gave me a whole new insight into the preferences and tastes of people in these countries, showing how cultural exchanges shape music trends in unique ways.
For example, one of the most trending and popular songs on TikTok in the USA right now is "Jin Sheng Yuan" (今生缘), also known as "Affinities of This Life." It has inspired countless covers and versions across the platform, showcasing its widespread appeal.
"The Affinities or Fate of This Life" is a Mandarin song originally written, composed and sung by Chuanzi. The song describes the feelings between friends. The lyrics of the song highlight the themes of enduring friendship, emphasizing that as long as friends never forget each other, their bond will last forever. It encourages letting go of past worries and pains, and reassures that no matter the challenges, friendship remains steadfast. The song also conveys a dreamlike quality to life, while celebrating the comfort and warmth of having friends by your side. Ultimately, it concludes with an expression of indifference toward the future, focusing on cherishing the present and the friendship shared.
Here is the original singer, Chuan Zi and his song. Below is the English Translation and the chinese pinyin romanized lyrics:
我們今生有緣在路上 Wǒmen jīnshēng yǒuyuán zài lùshàng (We are destined in this life to be on the road )
Bailu, Ao Rui Peng extends their chemistry to sing the OST song for Moonlight Mystique: "Don't want to miss you". Their voices are so harmonious. Very talented indeed! (Bonus: see behind the scenes video of this song at the end of the post)
HuaChen song, "A Piece of Me Left" reflects on a painful relationship where mutual harm and emotional consumption have taken their toll. It also the reluctance of repeating the past but at the same time acknowledges the difficulty of letting go. Despite the emotional toll, they wish the other person happiness, even if it doesn't involve them, while quietly hoping to be remembered.
忘了這是第幾次 Wàngle zhè shì dì jǐ cì (I forgot how many times this is)
互相傷害的開始 hùxiāng shānghài de kāishǐ (The beginning of mutual harm)
捨不得我們這樣 shěbudé wǒmen zhèyàng (I can't bear for us to be like this)
不斷地內耗彼此 bùduàn de nèihào bǐcǐ (Constantly afflict each other internally)
Stefanie Sun released her latest single, "Afterwards" or the literal title "Sunset," 日落 and announced the upcoming "AUT NIHILO" Sun Yanzi in Concert tour. Reflecting on the meaning of "Sunset," Stefanie Sun said emotionally: "When I was young, it seemed that I had to complete certain things at certain times. Facing the sunset, I feel that I have the opportunity to be brave again, without any constraints, and simply feel it!" The song's English subtitle, "Afterwards," deepens its meaning, with lyrics like "Invisible together beyond sight" expressing emotions that linger even when people are no longer in each other’s lives. The song captures the warmth of memories and connections that persist despite distance and change.

To give blessings to the other person is a virtue in love, but it is also a shackle that traps happiness. Through the MV, Xue Zhi Qian plays out the uncontrollable struggle of a person who makes things happen, supports the couple, but at the same time stirring up anxiety. He may just become an unnecessary performer who can be cut out of the scenes at any time.

The lyrics of "Xiao San Dui Bai" (or "Disappearing Dialogue") explore the contrast between the excitement of new love and the enduring nature of true love, as well as the loneliness and reflection that follow the fading of emotions.

No 3 on Billboard Chinese Music Chart this week, and 7 weeks on the chart is this song that resonates with many people. The song "Why do those who say they love you first leave first" mainly expresses the emotional dilemma that those who say they love you first ultimately choose to leave, while the person who falls in love later may fall into deeper emotional entanglements because of the promises made by the other.
如果不愛 又為何要招惹 Rúguǒ bù ài yòu wèihé yào zhāorě (If you don't love me, why did you even bother me?)
付出感情 又怎麼能割捨 fùchū gǎnqíng yòu zěnme néng gēshě (Gave out my emotions and feelings, how am I to cut it off and give it up)
你口口聲聲的承諾 nǐ kǒukǒushēngshēng de chéngnuò (The promises that you keep making)
像觸不到的銀河 xiàng chù bù dào de yínhé (Are just like an unreachable galaxy)
化作淚水 被回憶給包裹 huà zuò lèishuǐ bèi huíyì gěi bāoguǒ (That turned into tears, and wrapped up into memories)
我們之間 只差一個結果 wǒmen zhī jiān zhǐ chà yīgè jiéguǒ (Between us there is one result left)
憑什麼感情 要由你來抉擇 píng shénme gǎnqíng yào yóu nǐ lái juézé (Why are you the one to decide on our feelings?)

He said frankly: "Because the emotional expressions in Chinese and Cantonese are very different, the recording time of this time It’s the longest one ever! After several rounds of recording, I still wasn’t satisfied, so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the tone and pronunciation of singing Chinese songs, and I also asked some Taiwanese friends for advice . I would also like to express my special thanks to Eason Chan for coming to help with the singing. " Eason Chan has given Lin Jiaqian a lot of inspiration in terms of technique and emotional expression, making it easier for him to sing Chinese songs.

Top 10 Chinese Songs 2025- First week January 2025
No 3 on Top 10 Chinese Songs this week is Waa Wei's song "E Kou".
Wei Ruxuan's new song "E Kou" is literally translated as " Evil Words". This song is written by Ge Dawei, who was inspired by the classic poem "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose". Starting from the original meaning of "love", he raised profound questions: "Love is love, Then what do you change to make it still the same? If you change it to another tone, will the connotation remain the same, but will the expression be different?" The lyrics of "Why speaking frankly about love feel like speaking evil words" are Ge Dawei's reflection and response to modern people's views on emotions. He used reverse thinking to dig out the positive meaning and revealed the silent accusation against the person who doesn't love yourself enough or the person who doesn't love you enough. It turns out that the most terrible "dirty word" is actually "I love you".
Last Year, Mixer collaborated with Power Station to release the song 到底我算什麼 "What am I to you". It won the Apple Music Top 100 Songs of 2024 and was enthusiastically loved by fans. Recently, Mixer once again launch a new version of "Who Am I?". As soon as it was released, it quickly topped the new song real-time chart of the music streaming platform KKBOX and received great praise. Even Power Station also praised them: Mixer's version shows different taste. Both versions are equally good!"
