- Written by the renowned Hong Kong singer Leslie Cheung, in which Chen puts a twist in this song with his natural skills in rapping in the middle of the song before the second part of the song where he says the lines: "You see the world is out there waiting for me that's why I wanna be as free as can be!/ I know that you've been good and you've been sweet, so don't put up a fight, just let it be!/ well, I hope one day, Whild I'm missing you. And so will you be thinking of me!/ Then we can be together, to laugh about the pass, but the love is still there for you and me."
