This is the first time Alexander Wang Lee Hom has tried Taiwanese songs; he invited Selina to do a duet together for the sweet love song "You're the One Song in My Heart"; the first time the two worked together, there had been a look for feeling already. Alexander said that when he was working on this song, the only female "voice" he had in mind was Selina, because he thinks that her voice is very sweet and suitable for this song's "taste"; and Selina has said that Alexander is her idol, so when she heard that Alexander wants to collaborate with her, she was so happy she couldn't sleep.
Selina smiled and said that even her family is very happy, because they are all Alexander fans, "Especially my mommy, she even awnted me to take a picture with him and get his autograph. What's even funnier is, usually my dad will take me to promo events, but today when I was doing the MV, both my parents came!"
As for whether or not the two would ever have anything? Alexander said that Selina's ability to "electrify" is perfect, and he thinks that through this song, she could send her "electricity" to everyone who listens to it; when she heard of Alexander's praise, Selina was shy and said that, "I think of him like an idol, just being able to work with him makes me really happy already!"
The reason why Alexander wants to sing in Taiwanese is because when he was writing "You're the One Song in My Heart", it sounded like it had a Taiwanese tone already, and because he thinks Taiwanese is a very interesting language, so he decided to do it in Taiwanese; as for himself, he said he would really like to learn more Tawanese, because in regular life in Taiwan, he often hears people speak Taiwanese, but he doesn't understand completely, so he'll start learning through songs.
Even though he doesn't speak and converse much in Taiwanese, he thinks that Taiwanese is pretty difficult. He's learned Japanese and sang Japanese songs, but he thinks Taiwanese is actually harder than Japanese! When he was singing this song, he tried to learn from the teacher who wrote the lyrics, but he constantly used spelling to pronounce is out. As for Selina, during recording, she would teach Alexander song commonly-used phrases, such as "把馬子" (to get girls), and how to compliment a girl, but he pronounced it "妳很水" (You very water.) Then she complimented him in Taiwanese saying, "你很英俊(緣投)" (You are very brave.) and what's funny is Alexander thought she meant "faint", letting Seilna laugh very hard.
This time, the MV for "You're the Only Song in My Heart", there is a 50's olden times kind of theme; Alexander wore a well-off suit with shiny leather shoes, giving off a well-to-do feeling; and Selina dressed up like a classic beauty with little red shoes. The setting is very elegant, just like from the 50s - everything from the phonography to the telephone, the clock and the furniture in the room, all match up to the correct tmie period - just like a 50s movie! What's interesting is when Alexander is sitting on the antique chair, and Selina is leaning on the back of the chair, it looks like the perfect 50s picture, kind of like a wedding photography, letting Selina shyly say, "I'm so scared Alexander fans are going to yell at me!"
