Original singer of Smiley Face song

Xie Dong.

"Smiley Face" is a song written by Fu Yu, composed by Chen Xiangyu, and sung by Xie Dong. It is included in Xie Dong's album "Smiley Face·Waiting All the Way" released on January 1, 1994. On February 26, 1995, the song won the top ten golden songs of the 2nd Oriental Chart.

"Smiley Face" was created in 1994 and is a product of the times. Prior to this, it was popular for mainland Chinese pop music to imitate Hong Kong and Taiwan singing. Around 1994, mainland musicians suddenly discovered that they could produce their own original music, and the soil for mainland original music came into being.

When meeting this need, Chen Xiangyu produced a rap album for the China Record Corporation. Since most of it was rap, he wanted to add one that could be sung, so "Smiley Face" was born. .
