After COVID and Flu, Juice Boy Says He Has Learned the Value of Health

Juice Boy’s new single, “Waiting for the Rain to Stop,” pairs the singer-songwriter with rapper Mo Tsai-yang, with producer Hai Da-fu handling the production and an emotionally charged string arrangement shaping the track.

Juice Boy said the collaboration developed unevenly because Mo Tsai-yang writes according to inspiration. “He is someone who relies heavily on feeling. When inspiration strikes, he can finish all the lyrics in one day. When he has no inspiration, he can produce only one line in two months,” he said.

The song took shape during a three-day, two-night trip to Hualien. The pair went hiking and visited a seaside café before Mo Tsai-yang wrote about 70% of the lyrics in roughly 20 minutes at a newly opened sauna. The work had been developing for two or three months.

I think I’m fairly decisive. I make sure I don’t become too immersed in the past. I look ahead and focus first on what matters.

The song portrays emotional attachment and an inability to let go. Juice Boy said his own approach to relationships is more practical. “I think I’m fairly decisive. I make sure I don’t become too immersed in the past. I look ahead and focus first on what matters,” he said.

He recently contracted COVID-19 and flu, prompting concern among fans. “Fortunately, I’ve almost fully recovered now,” he said. The illness changed his view of his health, after he had assumed that youth meant strong immunity. As he recovers, he has promised more new songs and said a solo concert would soon be announced for the second half of 2026.
