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.

逆光
孫燕姿 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
也许爱情仅在风里打转
离开释怀
很短暂又重来
有时候自问自答
我不要困难把我们击散
我责备自己那么不勇敢
遗憾没有到达
用力推开你我一人留下
有一束光
那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼
你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光却看见
那是泪光
那力量
我不想再去抵挡
面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁
我不要困难把我们击散
我责备自己那么不勇敢
遗憾没有到达
拥抱过还是害怕
用力推开你我一人留下
有一束光
那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼
你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光却看见
那是泪光
那力量
我不想再去抵挡
面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁
我以为我无路后退
反复证明这份爱有多不对
背对着你如此漆黑
忍住疲惫
睁开眼打开窗
才发现你就是光芒!
有一束光
那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼
你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光却看见
那是泪光
那力量
我不想再去抵挡
面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁
光芒
你是光芒
In "逆光," Sun Yanzi contemplates the complexities of love and relationships, expressing her fear of knowing the answers and admitting how fleeting moments of solace can be. The singer recognizes her own shortcomings, admitting to being too afraid and blaming herself for not being brave enough to confront difficult situations in her relationship. The chorus describes a moment of intense pain and discomfort, possibly referring to a breakup or a realization that things may not be going well. Despite the discomfort, Sun draws strength from the light that she sees, which may represent hope, forgiveness, or a sense of clarity. The verse "我以为我无路后退，反复证明这份爱有多不对" ("I thought I had nowhere to retreat, but repeatedly proved how wrong this love is") highlights the confusion and internal struggle that she feels as she grapples with the reality of her relationship.

也許我一直害怕有答案
也許愛靜靜在風裡打轉
離開釋懷 很短暫又重來
有時候自問自答
我不要困難把我們擠散
我責備自己那麼不勇敢
遺憾沒有到達 擁抱過還是害怕
用力推開你我依然留下
有一束光 那瞬間
是什麼痛得刺眼
你的視線 是諒解
為什麼捨不得熄滅
我逆著光 卻看見
那是淚光 那力量我不想再去抵擋
面對希望 逆著光
感覺愛存在的地方
一直就在 我身旁
我不要困難把我們擠散
我責備自己那麼不勇敢
遺憾沒有到達 擁抱過還是害怕
用力推開你我依然留下
有一束光 那瞬間 是什麼痛得刺眼
你的視線 是諒解 為什麼捨不得熄滅
我逆著光 卻看見
那是淚光 那力量我不想再去抵擋
面對希望 逆著光 感覺愛存在的地方
一直就在 我身旁
我以為我能後退
反覆證明 這份愛有多不對
背對著你如此漆黑
忍住疲憊 睜開眼 打開窗 才發現你就是光芒
有一束光 那瞬間 是什麼痛得刺眼
你的視線 是諒解 為什麼捨不得熄滅
我逆著光 卻看見 那是淚光

《逆光》同名主打收录于天后孙燕姿2007年由EMI Capitol发行的第10张个人专辑，也是燕姿离开华纳唱片后的第一张作品。原唱在诠释这首歌时运用的先抑后发的感情处理，前段表达的是委婉与隐晦；而后层层递进，随着积极向上的编曲，在中段副歌时很好地表达出了一种坚韧和倔强；在bridge后的高潮更是爆发出了燕姿早期擅长的力道唱法，激情澎湃！
《逆光》也可说是燕姿目前歌唱生涯里的最后一首所谓的“大歌”（此后燕姿的3张专辑《是时候》、《克卜勒》、《跳舞的梵谷》都是自己主导与参与制作，便鲜少有爆发型的曲目，更多的是探索性的小品。）
《逆光》这首歌的高质量也顺势入围了2008年台湾金曲奖的：
1. 年度最佳歌曲
2. 最佳作词
3. 最佳编曲
并且孙燕姿也凭此专辑入围了：
4. 最佳国语专辑 （第4度入围）
5. 最佳国语女歌手 （第5度入围）
对于这楼里有小P孩或黑粉强行黑化，真逗 LOL
@a228775099
因為這張專輯認識燕姿
然後愛上燕姿
在我心裡 燕姿形象就像逆光MV裡一樣
充滿正面能量 振奮人心
陪我走過很多沮喪的時刻
感謝101讓許多人又回頭關注這經典的歌曲
雖然燕姿唱功有點退步了
可是反而成了另一種獨特風格
不會減少對她的信仰
支持燕姿❤️

聽過了那麼多翻唱的， 還是原版歌聲， 永不磨滅， 感情依舊還在， 依然還是最愛的版本
@user-zu3vk1vg1t
認同+10000
@alanhuang8325
沒有原唱哪有他們，是吧
@kengjuanyeo7696
我同意！！！
@user-lr5hi3ne6k
我喜歡孫燕姿的逆光，情感表達層次粒粒分明，加上獨特的嗓音。認同張學友說的 她是華人女歌手中沒有人相似的嗓音。
@Fish19960322
一堆人說創造101比原唱好聽
我覺得原唱大勝，燕姿是在創造意境，傳達歌曲，還有她自己獨特的音色、氣息！真正厲害的是讓你感受不到她使用的技巧，當你自己在唱才發現也太難！
燕姿不是飆高音，不是嘶吼，不是炫技。創造101她們還在選秀的感覺，不是進入歌曲本身
@siyuwoaini
100个人唱 99人是同一个感觉，而孙燕姿却是独树一帜地优秀，无疑的标杆。
@batisfatwa
支持 孫燕姿的音質 穿透力 轉音 都是她的獨一無二的地方
@yukino_hane
認同阿~~
