Singaporean star calls herself 'unbeatable little strong,' reveals collaboration with Taiwanese band

Singaporean singer Kit Chan has released her new single, "Walk Walk Stop Stop," a cross-border collaboration with the Taiwanese band Octave Music. The partnership originated when Chan met Octave Music's keyboardist and guitarist, Ah Xiong, at a songwriting camp. Their creative synergy led to an invitation for a joint song project.

Octave Music, known for its "loser-type band" image, readily accepted the collaboration. Chan, understanding their ethos, shared her own journey of overcoming setbacks. She described herself as an "unbeatable little strong," emphasizing that success comes from perseverance through difficult times. "Life can't always be smooth sailing," Chan stated. "Everyone will have moments of self-doubt and frustration, but what matters is not how many times you fall, but whether you have the courage to keep going."

The song "Walk Walk Stop Stop" draws inspiration from the mindset of facing the unknown during life's journey. It conveys a message of bravely moving forward and enjoying the scenery, even when the future is unclear. Initially, lead singer Yolo worried his English proficiency might hinder communication with Chan regarding the lyrics' meaning. However, Chan praised the lyrics for their vivid imagery. The two artists finalized the lyrics in less than an hour during a meal of Taiwanese hot pot.

The music video for "Walk Walk Stop Stop" was filmed in Yilan. Chan, who typically prefers urban life, found herself unexpectedly charmed by the natural landscapes of Eastern Taiwan, expressing a desire to visit Hualien and Taitung in the future.
