Background

edit

Of the ten tracks on the album, Xue composed music for seven and wrote lyrics for six. "Deeply Loved You" has two different versions, one set in the past life and one set in the present life, each with its own music video.[3] The album contains a diversity of genres, such as the adaptation of the popular Korean dance song "Let You Go" and the Chinese-style "Legend".[3] The latter impressed Shinji Tanimura and earned Xue an invitation to the Asia Music Festival in Osaka.[4] "Origin of the Dream" was adapted from "Once Upon a Time in Zurich" on How Are You? as a tribute to Olympic athletes and Xue himself served as a torchbearer for the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay.[5] The album was a commercial and critical success, prompting Sheng Teng to release an upgraded commemorative album in April 2009 with bonus features from Live Concert in Shanghai.[6]
