This song is the ending credits song from the 2016 Chinese LGBT-themed web series, Addicted (上癮). I can’t remember how I came across this song in the first place last year, but after I first heard the song, I love it due to its very hummable melody, even though I have not heard or watched the web series. So with lockdown and so much time being trapped at home, I searched the series to watch recently. Then… I realized the wildly popular web series was banned by the Chinese authorities in China after 12 of the 15-episode series were broadcast. Worst still, the two lead actors were also banned by the authorities to appear together in front of the cameras! What, this is the 21st century, and things like this still happened, unbelievable!

No official music video yet for this internet hit that was covered by many online performers (video above) last year on TikTok. Coined as the healing song of 2019, the direct translation of the Chinese title is “The Beautiful World and You are Interlocked”. Below I’ve included the official audio version and also an unofficial lyrics version of the song.
