Stefanie Sun has an older sister three years her senior called Sng Yee-kia (simplified Chinese: 孙燕佳; traditional Chinese: 孫燕佳; pinyin: Sūn Yànjiā), and a younger sister six years her junior named Sng Ee-mei (simplified Chinese: 孙燕美; traditional Chinese: 孫燕美; pinyin: Sūn Yànměi).
Sun received her education at St Margaret's Secondary School, Raffles Girls' School and went on to attend St Andrew's Junior College She later attended university at Nanyang Technological University and attained a degree in Marketing. Her abilities were discovered by her music teacher, Lee Weisong at his music school. Sun made her first musical breakthrough in June 2000, following the release of her self-titled first album, Sun Yan Zi (孫燕姿) under Warner Music.
Stefanie's saccharine vocals and sincere personality have won the hearts of many, and her grounding as one of the most accomplished local artists in her native Singapore is firm. To date, she has won many awards, most notably at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, beating established singers, Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai. Among her followers, Sun has inspired and stirred other Singaporean artists (such as JJ Lin and Huang Yi Da) to expand overseas.
Sun does most of her recording, and conducts publicity events mainly in Taiwan, which comprises the majority of her fanbase. She also visits China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore frequently for promotional rounds where she is warmly received.
Most of her songs are sung in Mandarin, with several in English. In her first album, she sings Tori Amos's "Silent all These Years". Sun's ability to speak various languages is reflected in the songs she sings. In the song 天黑黑, (Dark skies) she sings in both Mandarin and her native Teochew. It is an adaptation of a traditional Teochew folksong which included the first six words in the original Teochew - "Thi-o·-o·, beh lo?h-hō·" - in the chorus.
She has won over 33 awards and other accolades for her music in the course of her career in Singapore, Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong (as well as at the pan-Asian MTV Asia Awards).
Yanzi sings Singapore's National Day Parade song, "One United People".
In 2002 and 2003 Sun also sang the official theme songs for Singapore's National Day Parade: "We Will Get There" (一起走到) and "One United People" (全心全意).
Sun is continually extending her influence in the Asian music industry. Sun collaborated with Mai Kuraki, a Japanese singer, on the last track of her To Be Continued... album. They collaborated yet again in 2003, this time on Mai Kuraki's If I Believe, released in July of 2003.
In late 2003, she decided to take a one year hiatus from making music, returning in late 2004 with a new album titled "Stefanie", intended to be a mirror of her debut album (self-titled as well, but in Chinese). This was to symbolise her return with a newcomer's attitude. She also started her own company, Make Music, during this sabbatical.
A Perfect Day was released on 2005, almost one year after the previous album Stefanie. She collaborated with some of the best musicians from Taiwan, namely MayDay (五月天) and F.I.R. in the song, 'First Day'.
Reviews of this new album has been mixed because of rumors in sales. But Stefanie had mentioned before that her priority is to make quality music, instead of over-commercialized products that sell well but have a lower level of artistic quality.
In 2006, Sun is in the midst of a regional concert tour. She has staged four full-house concerts at the renowned Hong Kong Colosseum. The performances have received rave reviews from the media as well as overwhelming support from fans. Sun also returned to Singapore in a much anticipated homecoming concert.

我也很想他
孫燕姿 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
我的爱情比你早却一直放在心上
后来你们之间的变化我不想再多说话
经过了相遇挣扎我还是无法将他放下
那是多久后的事啊
有一天你突然问我
在那个时候是否也爱着他
我也很想他我们都一样
只是那时的他是因为你而开始飞翔
我也很想他在某个地方
我少了尴尬你少了肩膀
而夏天还是那么短思念却很长
还记得那年我们曾许下的愿望是星星骗了我们我们
却因此少了一课真正必修的学分
我也很想他我们都一样
在他的身上曾找到翅膀
只是那时的他是因为你而开始飞翔
我也很想他在某个地方
我少了尴尬你少了肩膀
而夏天还是那么短思念却很长
我们都一样
In this song, 孫燕姿 (Stefanie Sun) reminisces about a past relationship and the person she used to love. She begins by acknowledging that she and her former partner used to share everything and had no secrets from one another. In contrast, she always kept her love for someone else hidden inside her heart, even though she fell in love before her partner did. The relationship between her and her partner eventually became complicated and she is reluctant to talk about it. She admits that she tried to move on, and even though she met someone else and struggled to forget her past love, she was unable to let go.
She remembers a question that her partner once asked her - did she also love that person when they were together? She answers truthfully: "我也很想他" (I also miss him). Both of them found a sense of freedom and empowerment from their past love, but that person filled a different role in their respective lives. While she once depended on her past love for support, he pushed her to take risks and fly higher. The song ultimately reflects on how the two of them both miss the same person but for different reasons. Despite the distance that has grown between them, she still remembers the wish they made together and how it felt like they were cheated by the stars.
