01. Someday, Somewhere
Lyrics: 蔡依林 Jolin Tsai / 任遲 Ren Chi
Music: 蔡依林 Jolin Tsai / Richard Craker
Jolin wrote lyrics and composed a song for a drama for the first time. And she’s also a producer !
Jolin built a simple recording studio in her home. Producer Howe Chen, who co-produced the song with her, praised her for singing the first half of the song with reserved emotions but with a surge of emotion, the high note at the end of the song released the desire and excitement for love.
In order to create Someday, Somewhere, Jolin held a meeting with the production team of the drama. She even met the chief director who shared the story and script. He suggested her to use the perspective of an angel located at places buzzing with activity: MRT, buses, etc. , quietly watching over the love stories of urban people.
After reading the book as well, Jolin used her delicate observation skills to figure out the mood of the characters, combined it with the perspective that the director wanted, and wrote this beautiful but regretful ballad.
Jolin said: “This song is about longing for love. There is also a little regret about the fact that you cannot say what you want to say at the moment. It’s the feeling that your future self is talking softly to your present self. I hope everyone can feel it these ten love stories in their hearts.”
