Zhang's debut album was titled The One and was produced by Craig Williams. Her next album, Update, broke away from the Chinese pop scene by combining elements of R&B and jazz. After the release of Update, Zhang participated in a World Peace One concert that was designed to increase awareness and activism for world peace, and to raise funds for humanitarian relief. Other participating artists included U2, Madonna, Pink Floyd and Green Day.
Her father was an engine attendant for a transportation company in Chengdu, and her mother was a shop assistant.During her childhood, she performed at her parents' workplace on several occasions. However, her parents divorced when she was 13; two years later, Zhang's father died. This forced her to work outside of school; she started to sing at a local public house, where her uncle played the accompaniments.While performing at the pub, Zhang was exposed to a wide variety of music genres, and developed a taste for American country singers in addition to Western pop singers, such as Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. Because she was unable to afford her own music players, Zhang frequently borrowed walkmans and headphones from her classmates, and skipped lunches to save enough money for cassettes.After graduating from college, she studied at Sichuan University's Foreign Language Department where she was majoring in English; she dropped out soon after to compete in the 2005 Super Girl competition.
Zhang auditioned for the Super Girl contest in 2005. Super Girl (simplified Chinese: 超级女声; traditional Chinese: 超級女聲) is the Chinese equivalent to the popular Idol franchise where only female contestants were allowed to participate.She auditioned in Chengdu, and after progressing through the preliminary rounds, she entered the national competition with Li Yuchun and He Jie (simplified Chinese: 何洁; traditional Chinese: 何潔).
Throughout the series, she had established a fan base whose members called themselves "Liang Fen" (simplified Chinese: 凉粉), a phrase that combined the Chinese pronunciation of her name and the English word "fan." The term "Liang Fen" originated from Hong Kong years ago, but is now used to define a particular type of bean jelly snack in central China.Zhang demonstrated her ability to sing in foreign languages, with performances of "I Still Believe,""What's Up,""Beautiful,"and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."As such, she was recognized by judges, critics and musicians to be the most talented singer in this competition.Some critics even regarded her as one of China's best artists.Nevertheless, she was not the most popular contestant among young supporters. Her final number of votes by text messaging was 1.3 million. Consequently, she placed third behind Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang.Her loss did not come as a shock because Li and Zhou had garnered more popularity during the competition. Their creative eccentricity and tomboyish appearances triumphed over Zhang's "old, introverted, [and] pretty-girl" image.
After the competition ended, Zhang was invited to visit Sichuan University, her alma mater, during its orientation week celebration in early September. She performed her own rendition of Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine" there.On September 26, 2005, she became the first Super Girl contestant to hold a personal music show for her fans. Numerous celebrities attended the show, including Huang Jianxiang, a host on CCTV's football shows, Phoenix TV host Zeng Zimo, and Taiwanese singer Sky Wu.Zhang also signed a contract with CCTV to play the supporting role in The Song of the Movie, a stage music show produced by Taiwan pop musician Jonathan Lee. Harlem Yu and Yuan Quan also starred in the musical, which opened in Beijing in December 2005 and later in Hong Kong.
On January 9, 2006, her first EP, Jane·Love (simplified Chinese: Jane·爱; traditional Chinese: Jane·愛) was released. The EP, which cost 2 million yuan to produce,contains six tracks in total: 3 songs and 3 instrumentals. In China alone, over 210,000 copies of the EP have been sold.On Forbes' China Celebrity 100 list, Zhang was placed 55th.Her debut album, The One, was released on October 11, 2006, her 22nd birthday.During the production of the album, Zhang visited the United States to collaborate with music producers Craig Williamsand Peter Hyams, the latter of whom had worked with Celine Dion and R. Kelly.The One contains ten songs, three of which are in English; the three English songs were produced by Williams.She has also sung many popular theme songs for various films and series, including "Only for Love" (simplified Chinese: 我用所有报答爱; traditional Chinese: 我用所有報答愛) for the film The Banquetand "Unparalled in the World" (simplified Chinese: 天下无双; traditional Chinese: 天下無雙) for the TV series The Return of the Condor Heroes. The popularity of both songs was reflected on numerous Chinese music charts."Only for Love", which was a collaboration with Chinese pianist Lang Lang,was nominated for Best Original Film Song at the 2007 Hong Kong Film Awards.
In February 2007, she was invited by World Peace One (WP1) to join a hundred world-renowned singers and bands to record a song called "Give Your Love". This was aimed to bring attention to all cultures of the globe. This project aims to promote awareness of the poverty of third-world countries.Zhang was the only Asian female singer who received an invitation to participateand it was reported that Craig Williams recommended Zhang to the organiser of the event.Zhang performed her first North American concert on March 31, 2007 in Pasadena, California.Famous Japanese musician Kitarō and Gavin Christopher also attended the concert, in which Gavin Christopher and Zhang sang I'll Be There together.On April 8, 2007, she was awarded the Best Singer Award in the 2007 Music Chart Awards ceremony was held in Beijing Exhibition Centre Theater.Her July 28, 2007 concert in Beijing also set a record for the most expensive VIP seating for a mainland Chinese artist.She performed live versions of hit songs from The One, new songs from her second album Update, which was released in August 2007, as well as Richard Marx's signature ballad "Right Here Waiting" and Beyoncé Knowles's "Listen" from the award-winning Broadway musical Dreamgirls.On August 2, 2007, her second album, Update was released. When asked about the album's name, Zhang explained that the album is an upgraded step from The One. The songs broke away from the Chinese pop scene by combining elements of R&B and jazz.One of her tracks, "We Are Together" (simplified Chinese: 我们在一起; traditional Chinese: 我們在一起), was produced for a project by the United Nations Children's Fund.
Zhang was invited, along with 130 other renowned Chinese performerssuch as Elva Hsiao, Joey Yung, Alan Tam, Wang Feng, Eason Chan, Hacken Lee and Jackie Chanto record "We Are Ready" in July 2007 for the countdown to the 2008 Summer Olympics. It was released on August 2."We Are Ready" was composed by Peter Kam and Keith Chan,at the request of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), for the celebration of the one-year countdown to the start of the 2008 Olympics. On August 8, the artists who recorded the song gathered at Tiananmen Square, and performed the song live for the first time.In addition, Zhang, along with Wang Leehom, Stefanie Sun, and Wang Feng, recorded the theme song of the 2008 Beijing Olympics torch relay, "Light the Passion, Share the Dream" (simplified Chinese: 点燃激情,传递梦想; traditional Chinese: 點燃激情 傳遞夢想).

如果爱下去
张靓颖 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
街头那一对 和我们好像
这城市华灯初上多两个人被吹散场
松开拥抱 就各奔一方
看着他们我就湿了眼眶
不回头两个方向流着泪的破碎脸庞
仿佛我们昨天又重逢
很久以前如果我们
最后一次相信 地久天长
躺在你温柔手掌
不需要想象
以后我们唱的孤单流浪
很久以前如果我们
爱下去会怎样
毫无疑问爱情当作信仰
可是生活已经是另一番模样
我希望永远学不会坚强
看着他们我就湿了眼眶
不回头两个方向流着泪的破碎脸庞
仿佛我们昨天又重逢
很久以前如果我们
爱下去会怎样
最后一次相信 地久天长
躺在你温柔手掌
不需要想象
以后我们唱的孤单流浪
很久以前如果我们
爱下去会怎样
毫无疑问爱情当作信仰
可是生活已经是另一番模样
我希望永远学不会坚强
啊
呜
街头那一对 和我们好像
放开拥抱 就各奔一方
These lyrics describe a couple on the street who appear to be similar to the singer and their partner. The city's lights are just starting to shine, but the two people are being blown away and separated. They let go of their embrace and go their separate ways, which brings tears to the singer's eyes. The broken and tear-streaked faces of the two people represent the past when the singer and their partner used to be together. It feels as if they have reunited again, as if yesterday has come back.
The singer reflects on the past, wondering what would have happened if they had continued to love each other. They express their last belief in everlasting love and desire to stay in the warm embrace of their partner. The line "不需要想象以后我们唱的孤单流浪" (We don't need to imagine, from now on we'll sing lonely wanderings) suggests that after their separation, they will sing songs of loneliness and wandering. They question how things would have been if they had continued their love in the past.
The lyrics also touch upon the contrast between love as a belief and the reality of life. Love is referred to as a faith or religion, but life has turned out differently. The singer expresses a hope to never learn how to be strong, indicating a desire to remain vulnerable and longing for their past love.
In the end, the lyrics repeat the description of the couple on the street, emphasizing the similarity between their situation and the singer's. They let go of their embrace and go their separate ways, highlighting the theme of separation and the sorrow it brings.
