Stand Up (Jolin Tsai song)

"Stand Up" incorporates a fusion of rap, hip-hop, and electronic music, settling into the trap genre with a fast-paced, energetic rhythm.^[2] Jeffrey Kung, marking his first collaboration with Tsai, described the creative process as highly dynamic. Upon receiving the demo, he recognized the potential to blend electronic and hip-hop elements into the melody. He rearranged the song into an upbeat trap track and encouraged Tsai to experiment with a faster vocal flow.

During the recording process, Kung guided Tsai in delivering the rap vocals, marking a departure from her usual vocal style. Tsai expressed satisfaction with the result, while Kung described the collaboration as both exciting and a significant honor.^[3]

The accompanying music video, directed by Muh Chen, was released on December 30, 2017. The video features a whimsical storyline in which Tsai plays a busy office worker who, during a meeting, dozes off and enters a dream where her colleagues transform into monsters from the movie Monster Hunt. Tsai's character dances with the creatures, with choreography specifically designed to match their exaggerated, monstrous movements. Tsai later revealed that the routine was one of the fastest she had ever learned in her career.^[4]
