Deeply Loved You (Chinese: 深深爱过你) is the third album by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. It was released on November 26, 2008, by Shang Teng and later acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music.[3]
Background
[edit | edit source]Of the ten tracks on the album, Xue composed music for seven and wrote lyrics for six.
"Deeply Loved You" has two different versions, one set in the past life featuring classical sounds and one set in the present life featuring more modern melody. Both version had its own music video, a first in Mandopop, and together told the story of two lovers from their past life in the early 1900s to their present life in 2008.[4]
The album contains a diversity of genres, such as the adaptation of the popular Korean dance song "Let You Go" and the Chinese-style "Legend".[3]
"Origin of the Dream" was adapted from "Once Upon a Time in Zurich" on How Are You? as a tribute to Olympic athletes and Xue himself served as a torchbearer for the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay.[5]
