Creation Background:
Following the success of "Love Words" topping the charts again, Xu Liang's fifth early summer warm-up single "His Cat" was freshly released. Fans familiar with Xu Liang know that he loves cats and even has a little over one-year-old kitten named Milk. From May 16-20, 2013, Xu Liang will complete the recording of other music for his 2013 creation album in Taipei, making full preparations for the official release of the new album.
During the single's promotional photoshoot, Xu Liang was originally going to appear with Milk, but the beloved cat fell ill. The photography team urgently borrowed another adorable cat, which successfully completed the photoshoot exceptionally.
Although it was the first collaboration, Xu Liang, who has an innate affection for cats, instantly expressed all the emotions when holding the cat in his arms. Xu Liang's expression looked like a devoted cat dad, and the cat was unafraid and very cooperative. Staff jokingly said that the cat must have sensed a familiar scent on Xu Liang.
Song Appreciation:
Compared to the melancholic style of the previous four warm-up singles, "His Cat" features a charming and sweet style with lyrics that create the bright sunlight of early summer. A pair of young lovers teasing each other reveals the pure and passionate nature of first love. Even if the girl and the boy's cat intentionally show jealousy, it is just an expression of sincere love.
Lovely girls are like cats: gentle and approachable when well-behaved, yet striking with a paw when angry, making boys both love and be annoyed by them. Xu Liang genuinely and naturally uses his creativity to restore these scenarios to real life, like a chapter of a romance novel. As the story unfolds, everything sweeps over every bit of joy or struggle in life. Even if one day they part ways, recalling these moments will still bring a knowing smile.Lyrics:
I really miss your eyes
That naughty expression, sunny my heart
I really miss those times
So sincere, so much in love with you
If I and your cat
Fall into the water together
It's okay, fat has buoyancy
You won't sink
No, you can only choose one
Save me or the cat
Sorry, I never learned to swim
I'll shout for help with you
Oh my girlfriend
You said you were a little sad
That pretty pretty face
Feels a bit off
Don't be angry, anger makes you lose your beauty
Whether it's you or the cat
I will always, always, always cherish you
I really miss your eyes
That naughty expression, sunny my heart
I really miss those times
So sincere, so much in love with you
I really miss our promise
To always be together forever
Why does your sorry
Make tears tear through my heart
When unhappy, the black tea you love
I drink it all
Sorry, I forgot to tell you
Today's is coffee
I hate you, staying so awake all night
Dark circles around the eyes
Hurry to escape, someone call the police
Beware of bears
Oh my girlfriend
You said you were a little sad
That pretty pretty face
Feels a bit off
Don't be angry, anger makes you lose your beauty
Whether it's you or a panda
I will always, always, always cherish you
I really miss your eyes
That naughty expression, sunny my heart
I really miss those times
So sincere, so much in love with you
I really miss our promise
To always be together forever
Why does your sorry
Make tears tear through my heart
I really miss your eyes
That naughty expression, sunny my heart
I really miss those times
So sincere, so much in love with you
I really miss our promise
To always be together forever
Why does your sorry
Make tears tear through my heart
I really miss your eyes
That naughty expression, sunny my heart
I really miss those times
So sincere, so much in love with you
I really miss our promise
To always be together forever
Why does your sorry
Make tears tear through my heart
