• The original song for "Her Distant Home" is "Romantic Railroad" by Japanese artist Shinji Tanimura. The original lyrics expressed reflections prompted by the left and right sides of a train track,singing about the gap and choices between dreams and reality. Pan Yuen-Leung's "short story" style lyrics tell a deeply moving love story,describing how the lovers relied on each other on the mountain every night,until "she" went far away,separating the two. The narrative continues until leukemia took "her" life,and the singer returns to the hillside to reminisce. Jacky Cheung's tearful singing makes a beautiful but tragic love story incredibly touching.

• The original song for "Half Moon" is "Dream Continues" by the Japanese rock band "Anzen Chitai," composed by Koji Tamaki. Carlo's lyrics are known for their romantic and beautiful imagery,from leaning on the midnight moon to the gently floating evening breeze,and then to a lovely face. The lyricist's cinematic descriptions perfectly portray the night scenery. The MV for "Half Moon" featured Lo Mei-wei as the female lead. This song was also used as an interlude in the movie "Devoted to Me," and the moment its melody began was considered a classic scene marking the couple's on-screen romance. Jacky Cheung and Lo Mei-wei's first collaboration in this film led to a celebrated relationship in the entertainment industry,beginning their ten-year courtship.
