She rose to prominence after her third-place performance in the 2005 season of the Super Girl contest, a national all-female singing competition in the People's Republic of China. Throughout the competition, she sang in English, Spanish and Cantonese in addition to Mandarin Chinese. She is particularly known for her signature whistle register.
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.

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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
每次别人无意提起
有关于 你的消息
我都会微笑的装作
一点都不在意
耳朵背着我收集你所有的
点点滴滴
现在你在哪里
Oh baby
那封没有寄出的信
直到现在还是锁在抽屉
无处可投递
电话总是形影不离
害怕如果每次当它响起
错过你的声音
让未来到来
让过去过去
做到谈何容易
有一天老去
有一天离去
遗憾还是在心底
我可以 绝口不提
所有和你的曾经
如果这是你想要的
我会尽力

In the song "这该死的爱" by 张靓颖, the lyrics express the pain and struggle of trying to move on from a past love. The singer pretends to be unaffected whenever someone mentions the person they once loved, but deep down, they still hold onto memories and hope for a future reconciliation. The song explores the conflicting emotions of wanting to forget and move on, while at the same time longing for the return of the person they can't seem to let go of.
The lyrics portray a sense of longing and regret. The singer mentions a letter they never sent, still kept locked away, and a phone that is always by their side, fearing that they might miss the sound of their loved one's voice. Despite the difficulty of letting go, they understand the importance of moving forward and leaving the past behind.
The song's emotional depth and relatable lyrics resonate with listeners who have experienced the pain of a breakup or unrequited love. 张靓颖's beautiful vocals and the heartfelt words capture the essence of struggling with love and the complicated emotions that come with it.
