This song is the closing credits song from the 2018 Chinese period TV drama Story of Yanxi Palace (延禧攻略). I have never watched the 70-episode series, so the first time I heard the song was from the third season of the reality singing show Sound of My Dream (夢想的聲音). I love the song, so I went and searched for the original track sung by Rover Lu (陸虎), and love that version too which fitted with the mood of the drama. If you have watched the episode of Sound of My Dream where J J Lin covered the song, you would have noticed he interpreted it differently. Well, that is because he was given the criteria which was to perform the song with a “dazzling, splendour, grandeur” arrangement (歌曲限定詞：金碧輝煌).
So here is the original soundtrack version by Rover Lu (陸虎), music composed by Rover Lu (陸虎), lyrics by Yu Zheng (于正).
Below is the cover by J J Lin (林俊傑) from Sound of My Dream including the challenger from New Zealand, Laurence Larson (羅藝恆) who sang J J’s song Wall in Your Heart (心牆).
