Taiwanese singer Chen Hua is reflecting on recent public scrutiny, including a past relationship breakup and a controversial on-stage incident where she used profanity.

After thorough self-examination, I remind myself to set a better example in the future and not speak carelessly again.

"After thorough self-examination, I remind myself to set a better example in the future and not speak carelessly again," Chen Hua stated. She hopes her self-reflection and adjustments will allow her to "level up" and meet the expectations of her dedicated fanbase, known as "Ah Huatian."

Her latest single, "If I Were Ordinary," delves into the anxieties, self-doubt, and vulnerabilities she has previously kept private. "This song is like the road home for everyone, like a process of self-exploration," Chen Hua explained. The lyrics, such as "If I were ordinary, would you listen to me?" and "If I were ordinary, who defines success?" address the pervasive anxieties about success and mediocrity in contemporary society.

Chen Hua emphasized that the song is not about success or failure, but rather about how one perceives "ordinariness." "I don't think there's anything wrong with being ordinary," she said. The repeated phrase "It's okay, it's okay" in the song has become a memorable element, which Chen Hua described as "the most intuitive, unplanned part."

The music video for "If I Were Ordinary" concludes a trilogy of works, directed by Peng Daosen. Fans have nicknamed the series the "bedsheet trilogy," referencing recurring imagery. The video features a story of an elderly couple finding love amidst beautiful sheets, symbolizing warmth and affection. It also revisits the narrative of Chen Hua's previous collaboration with actor Song Baiwei, forming the "Hua Wei CP," leaving a poignant note about an unfulfilled romance while contrasting it with the hopeful reunion of the elderly couple.
