Covers
Upon the success of her debut album, the eponymous Prudence Liew, her label, Current Records, followed-up with this album in the winter of 1987. The album followed a different route of the debut album, where most of the songs were composed by local or Chinese songwriters. This album featured many covers of European and American songs, including the title track. Three of the cover songs were released as singles.[1] These covers were often treated with a strong dance beat reminiscent of her signature song from the previous album, "The Last Night".
