The song I chose for the Chapter 7 song share is called “別戀,” or “Move On” in the English title. This song is from the Mandarin pop genre and was written by a Taiwanese singer named 派偉俊 (Patrick Brasca). I found this song on YouTube, and I chose this example because I was searching for newly released music from East Asia, and this song was released on August 10, 2026. The music video already has 1.8 million views, which seems like quite a lot for being released less than two months ago. The message of this song is about accepting that a relationship is over but having a difficult time dealing with the heartbreak because you still have feelings for the person. Some key instruments I noticed in this song were drums, a piano, and multiple string instruments. Overall, I found this song interesting because it felt similar to Western pop music, but was still unique due to the Mandarin lyrics and Taiwanese influence.
