TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Mandopop King Jay Chou (周杰倫) and Mayday's Ashin (阿信) launched their new song "Forever Forever" (恆星不忘) Friday (Dec. 5). The collaboration features Jerry Yan (言承旭), Vanness Wu (吳建豪), and Vic Chou (周渝民).
The global digital release was secretly planned for eight months, showcasing a remarkable partnership spanning over 20 years between the two artists. Jay Chou composed the music while Ashin penned the lyrics, demonstrating their legendary teamwork on the new track. The song represents a significant reunion of major figures in Taiwanese popular music and entertainment.
Ashin invited Jay Chou to create this new song before Mayday's performance at Taipei Dome (台北小巨蛋), a major concert venue, in June. They completed the track in September after Jay Chou requested that Ashin write the lyrics first, knowing Ashin might take some time to finish. Jay Chou composed the song in just three days, surprising Ashin with the rapid completion of the musical composition.
Yan, Wu, and Vic Chou expressed joy and gratitude for this collaboration, praising the creative partnership between the two artists. Wu noted that the melody and lyrics profoundly moved him, allowing him to embrace his younger self and cherish those around him. Yan appreciated Ashin for bringing everyone together, valuing the bond they share through this musical collaboration.
