Taiwanese singer Cai Cheng-you releases new song after military service

Taiwanese singer Cai Cheng-you, a member of the boy band U:NUS, has released a new single titled "Burn My Love" just after finishing his mandatory military service. The release serves as a gift to his fans.

Cai shared that his military service significantly enhanced his sense of responsibility. He recounted how his bandmates, Gao Xu-wei, Gao You-xiang, and Wu Yu-ting, surprised him on his discharge day, celebrating with a car livestream where they previewed his new song.

During his service, Cai utilized limited phone time to work on music demos. He played a ballad and a rock demo for his fellow soldiers, initially expecting feedback to guide his creative direction. However, he ultimately decided to pursue a different path, a decision influenced by his introspective time during service.

The experience prompted Cai to reflect deeply on his career and personal life. He questioned his motivations for making music and becoming an idol, asking himself if he was truly prepared. Listening to the relationship stories of those around him also played a role in shaping the song's theme. "This song is not about losing someone; the real purpose is to find myself," Cai explained.
