I'm back again with my post for the #threetunetuesday playlist which is a contest hosted by @ ablaze. Today, I will feature my part 5 for Chinese songs! The songs I chose are randomly chosen from my Chinese playlist and if it happened to be a song I covered before than I would skip it. Anyways I hope you enjoy the songs.
The first song randomly chosen was I Love You by Puff Kuo. Puff is a Taiwanese model, actress and singer. She also was a member of a Taiwanese girl group called Dream girls. I think this is just a simple song with a nice beat in the background. Just a random fact I found from online was that she won three years in a row for FHM's Taiwan's 100 sexiest woman. I couldn't find a video with English translations so will just have to do with the music video.
The song is pretty much about loving someone. You can see in the lyrics says "I love you" almost every line 😂. I'm pretty sure you can feel it if you didn't know Chinese.
The second song chosen was I'm Not Ok by XMASwu. There's actually not much information about XMASwu. He's from Hong Kong apparently besides that I don't know much about him except that his songs are nice. His songs are more towards Chinese Hip-Hop I want to say. This song is interesting because it does have a fair amount of English words in the song.
The song is about a guy that wants a girl to stay. He is "not okay" because he needs her and that can be seen in the lyrics. I think the guy gave up on the girl because he felt like he wasn't good enough and this is based on the lyrics "after that day I kept wondering whether I was worthy". Based on this, he most likely pushed her away and now he wants to say sorry and prays that she comes back. This is basically what the song is about.
Finally, the last song chosen was Shouldn't Be by Jay Chou and aMEI. As mentioned in previous TTT, Jay Chou is one of the most famous Chinese singers in the world and that's how this MV has over 150 million views. I think my favorite part of this song is the chorus.
This song is a bit hard to interpret the meaning because the lyrics could be legit or they could be a figure of speech. Basically the song is about a man and a woman and they had a past relationship together but now they can't remember any of it but it's there in the mind trapped somewhere. It's kind of luck when we experienced something before and it's definitely somewhere in our memory but we are unable to extract it that's what the feeling is like. They would rather be frozen or not have the fate start over again and move on to the future. This was a hard one but if you think you can interpret it feel free in the comments section!
I made sure to find videos with English subs so it's better for your experience.
If you made it to the end, thank you so much for reading. I hope you liked the songs and maybe found some new songs to add to your playlist! I will definitely prepare a part 5 in the future.

Also I do not own any of these songs and these are not my YouTube channels; it's just for fair use and sharing new music to everybody. All credit for these songs go to their singer🙏.
