After waiting for two years, Faye Wong finally released her new Mandarin album "Love" with Sony Music on November 7, 2003. This was also her first performance at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong from December 20 to 27. An important prelude to "Phoebe's Extraordinary Concert".
The concept conveyed by the new album "Love" in 2003 takes "love" as the starting point and emphasizes the persistence of "carrying for faith to the end". As Faye Wong said: "If you have love in your heart, you will not I will despair. Love is a pure thing and should not be interfered with by anything else."
"Love to the end" is actually the abbreviation of "Carry love to the end". In fact, a major feature of the new album is. There are many two-character song titles: others such as 'Xuanmu' (carousel), 'Meicuo' (beautiful mistake), 'Yangbao' (sunshine baby), 'Yezhuang' (night makeup), etc. , just like the self-created phrases and sentences that are very popular among Taiwan's "seventh graders", each has its own fun that is somewhere between comprehensible and incomprehensible, and each has a touching story under its extremely simple appearance. Faye Wong hopes that this will allow the audience to feel more deeply the spirit and ideas she wants to convey when listening to her musical works. I also have 10 different ideas about the song title, but as long as everyone's heart is touched by the music and has their own feelings, this is what Faye Wong really wants to express through music.
The first wave of recommended song "Love" is the first time that the Chinese released his own lyrics and music in two years after his first day. It uses war as a metaphor to describe the cruelty and sacrifice of love. The concept is vivid and representative. It shows a firm attitude and courage that is not afraid of external forces; the atmosphere of the music also has a strong power, fully demonstrating Faye Wong's unique style of daring to love and hate. This song written by Faye Wong also presents her views on life. She feels that there is no absolute "right" or "wrong". The opposite of "love" is not "hate", and love should always exist in everyone's heart. Although people will eventually be lonely as the lyrics say, "lonely forever", but as long as love is still in my heart, I will not despair. This single also happens to be the core concept of this album.

Guo Zi's 'Beautiful Wrong' is comparable to 'Reserved', revealing the tenderness of women. Wan. The "empty city" and "night makeup" of another old partner, agent Kuan, have a unique urban sensibility. Their lyrical works all present the beauty of calmness and perseverance in different albums.
