Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou has released fifteen studio albums since his debut in 2000. His sophomore studio album, Fantasy (2001), spawned singles such as "Simple Love" and "Silence", while his next album, The Eight Dimensions (2002), was supported with singles such as "Secret Signal" and "Back to the Past". His fourth studio record, Yeh Hui-Mei (2003), produced singles such as "Sunny Day" and "Dong-Feng-Po", the former of which re-charted within the top 20 on the charts in Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore 15 years after its release.
Common Jasmine Orange (2004) produced the title track of the same name, which was named the most popular song of the year in Taiwan by Hit FM. The album also spawned the single as "Step Aside". Various singles were promoted for November's Chopin (2005), including "Coral Sea", "All the Way North", and "Maple Leaf". "Blue and White Porcelain" (2007) drew inspiration from porcelain—a national treasure in China—as the song's central motif, which won Song of the Year at the Golden Melody Awards. His 2008 single, "Rice Field", also won the same award the following year's ceremony.
Aiyo, Not Bad (2014) contained several singles including "What Kind of Man" and "Rhythm of the Rain". Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories (2016) spawned several hits including the collaboration "Shouldn't Be" with A-Mei and the song "Love Confession". "Won't Cry" (2019) and "Mojito" (2020) reached number one on the charts in China and garnered over 9 million downloads in the country. The single "Greatest Works of Art" from the album of the same name (2022) reached number one in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.
