  • Leslie Cheung's popularity soared after the release of "Monica" in 1984. From "Monica" onwards, Leslie Cheung underwent a magnificent transformation, establishing himself as a top-tier singer. In 1985, Leslie Cheung was full of vigor and achieved outstanding performances in both the music and film industries.
  • "For Your Heart Only" is an album released by Leslie Cheung in 1985, continuing the style of his previous album "Leslie (Monica)." It kicked off with two upbeat songs, "Wild Wind" and "First Time," followed by romantic ballads such as "I Do" and "For Your Heart Only." "Wild Wind" was the most commercially successful song from this album, winning both the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs and Top Ten Gold Songs awards at the annual ceremonies.
  • From August 2nd to 11th, 1985, Leslie Cheung held the "Summer Passion Concert" at the Hong Kong Coliseum, his first large-scale solo concert since entering the music industry. To promote the concert, Capital Artists specially released "All Thanks to You Summer Selection," with "All Thanks to You" being the theme song of the concert.
  • In 1986, Leslie Cheung's singing skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his acting became increasingly mature. This year, he released two new albums, "Stand Up" and "Leslie Cheung (Love's Fire)," which were also his last two Cantonese albums with Capital Artists.
  • In October 1986, Leslie Cheung released the self-titled album "Leslie Cheung (Love's Fire)," and his name appeared on the producer's list for the first time. The lyrics for "Love's Fire" were penned by Leslie Cheung himself, marking his third attempt at lyric writing. In the "The Wind Continues To Blow" album, Leslie Cheung and He Chongli co-wrote "Fragments," and in the same year, he wrote the lyrics for "Trapped in Love" from the "A Piece of Affection" album.
  • "The Past Love" is the theme song for the film "A Better Tomorrow," starring Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, and Chow Yun-fat. It was co-created by the golden duo of Joseph Koo and James Wong. The arrangement begins with a harmonica, carrying a lingering sense of melancholy. The melodious piano and Leslie Cheung's rich, deep voice convey a rare brotherhood, filled with a sense of calm and reminiscence of the past, without any sadness or despondency. "The Past Love" won numerous awards at the annual ceremonies, not only being selected as one of the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs but also winning the "Top Ten Gold Song," "Best Composition," and "Best Arrangement" awards at the 1986 Top Ten Gold Songs Awards.
  • "Miracle" is a duet by Leslie Cheung and Rita Carpio, and the song's tender emotions, shy yet eager to express love, are captivating.
  • The composer of "Who Can Resonate" is Japanese musician Shinji Tanimura. The melody is cool and clear, like a brisk autumn wind, and its distant imagery allows one to escape the hustle and bustle, as if stepping into a world of silence. Lyricist Siu May deeply understood the song's brilliance, and the fusion of lyrics and melody is seamless. Siu May accurately captured Leslie Cheung's life journey and spiritual insights, successfully using imagery such as night rain and starry skies to create a cool and lonely scene, subtly bringing out the character's inner emotions. Leslie Cheung felt a deep connection when singing, integrating his personal experiences and life insights, conveying a sense of composure and tranquility in his soft singing, which is both moving and thought-provoking.
  • At the 1986 Top Ten Gold Songs Awards ceremony, "Who Can Resonate" was selected as one of the Top Ten Gold Songs, and Leslie Cheung won the "Golden Song Gold Award" from Alan Tam for the first time. At this point, the "Tam-Cheung rivalry" entered a heated phase.
  • The album "Leslie Cheung (Love's Fire)" marked a turning point in Leslie Cheung's musical style, after which he bid farewell to his "melancholy era." In his later music, Leslie Cheung focused more on expressing his individuality and the overall concept of his albums.
