S.H.E Advocates “Girls Ought To Be Strong” by Practising “The Art of Self Defence in Love”
ELLA Inspired by “Sighting” While Recording, Injected New Ideas into Song
19 October, SHE Looks Forward to Singing Aloud with Fans

S.H.E practises “The Art of Self Defence in Love” to fight the
conventional societal ideals of beauty. The trio advocates for girls
not to be just concerned with looks, but also to be confident and
“Girls’ Ought To Be Strong”. In their MV, the trio took on the roles of
Love Coaches to listen to the love problems of the girls and encourage
them to stand up for themselves. In addition, SHE also extends their
invitation to fans to join them for the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs
Concert” on 19 October. Please visit www.him.tw for more details.

In their latest album FM S.H.E, one of the new songs – “Girls Ought To
Be Strong” adapted part of its tune from Wong Fei Hong’s “Men Ought To
Be Strong”. The music genre is the line of “Chin-Hop”, a blend of
Chinese music and Hip-Hop. The lyrics encouraged girls not to be beaten
in Love, and the need to be true to and love themselves; advocating for
strong female awareness. A martial arts coach was invited to teach
S.H.E “The Art of Self Defence in Love” in preparation for filming of
the MV. The 1st stunt is to kick away the Poor Love that broke the
hearts of the girls; while the 2nd stunt is to open one’s arms to
welcome New Romance. The 3rd stunt is to learn how to Protect and Love
oneself while in a relationship. Next, S.H.E imparted these stunts to
the rest of the girls trapped in love and encouraged them to be
independent and stand up for themselves. There is no need to wait in
vain for Prince Charming to appear, but to be proactive to embark on
the journey to Protect Love.

S.H.E expressed that, “No one is perfect. Hence, do not compromise in
love just because you feel inferior. We girls, must be confident of
ourselves. If you have loved the wrong person, just get out and move
on. Only then will you eventually meet Mr Right!” Meanwhile, “Mdm Xi
Bi” who addressed fans’ love problems on air in FM SHE weekly, offered
her usual advice to all the girls indecisive in love, “That person is
not the only one on Earth, no point wallowing in sorrow over him”.

While practising their stunts, S.H.E had fun sparring with each other
too. However when the trio donned the hot-trendy-sexy-babe outfit while
filming, they had to stifle their laughter as they felt that the
clothes were contradictory and out of place with Chinese Kungfu.
Subsequently, the trio changed into sportswear to act as Love Coaches
and listened to the array of love problems of the girls present. SHE
found the love problems beyond their imagination and felt for their
heartaches, in the end, they also joined the girls to swear and cry.

S.H.E has always been very independent, but occasionally when faced
with love problems, they would feel lost too. While recording “Girls
Ought To Be Strong” in the studio, Ella suddenly saw a fleeting shadow
behind the recording producer and was scared stiff. She was stunned
momentarily before she “escaped” from the studio. Pale-faced and with a
quiver in her voice, she asked the recording producer, “Did you see
anything just now?” Ella has never met with any strange encounters in
the company’s recording studio prior to this; but once she composed
herself after the incident, she was inspired and felt even more for the
song. Therefore she took the initiative to suggest different ideas to
the producer to enrich the singing parts of the song. In the past, Ella
would be in-charge of the Rap parts in SHE’s songs. However upon Ella,
Selina and Hebe’s discussion, they decided to do the Rap together to
bring out the impact of the song to encourage girls to stand up for
themselves in Love. As a result, the effect was indeed very good. The
trio felt that they are actually cheering for, and encouraging
themselves to be brave in love too, when singing this song.

For most time in the past year, S.H.E had held concerts overseas. Hence
on 19 October, to the delight of many fans in Taiwan, S.H.E will hold
the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs Concert” in Selina’s school. SHE reveals
that other than performing the new songs from “FM SHE”, they will also
be showing off their new dance steps.
