A-mei is an ethnic Puyuma. Like most Chinese aborigines she was exposed to tribal music during her childhood. A-mei's mother used to record herself singing and then play back the tape for her daughters to hear. A-mei had always been fascinated by music; she once said she stuck to the radio and would rush to watch the late night music program introducing English songs when she was a little girl. She also showed great eagerness to perform in public, forcing her friends to listen to her sing.
A-mei first connected to the entertainment business by joining the televised "Five Lights Singing Contest" by TTV in 1994, after encouragment by her father, who was ill at that time. A-mei made all her way through to the finals but eventually lost in the final round. She felt very disappointed and most likely to quit her interest in music competition. A-mei's father then told her "you definitely can sing and perform songs beautifully, why don't you join the competition again to show that you got a talent in music?" So A-mei was encouraged and then decided to make a second attempt in the following year. This time her stable and superb performances were much appreciated by the judges, and A-mei was awarded the champion. Unfortunately, Amei's father passed away before her victory, making A-mei sad and aimless until she began to sing in pubs with a rock band formed by her musician cousin. She was later discovered by the popular singer/producer Chang Yu-Sheng (張雨生) and started her career.
我最親愛的
張惠妹 Lyrics

我聽人說
還不如你對我講
經過那段遺憾
請你放心
我變得更加堅強
愛過你就不怕孤單
我最親愛的 你過得怎麼樣
沒我的日子 你別來無恙
依然親愛的 我沒讓你失望
讓我親一親 像過去一樣
我想你一定喜歡
現在的我
學會了你最愛的開朗
想起你的模樣
有什麼錯
還不能夠被原諒
世界不管怎樣荒涼
愛過你就不怕孤單
我最親愛的 你過得怎麼樣
沒我的日子 你別來無恙
依然親愛的 我沒讓你失望
讓我親一親 像朋友一樣
雖然離開了你的時間
比一起還漫長
我們總能補償
因為中間空白的時光
如果還能分享
也是一種浪漫
關係雖然不再一樣
關心卻怎麼能說斷就斷
我最親愛的 你過得怎麼樣
沒我的日子 你別來無恙
依然親愛的 我沒讓你失望
讓我親一親 像親人一樣
我最親愛的 你過得怎麼樣
沒我的日子 你別來無恙
依然親愛的 我沒讓你失望
讓我親一親 像過去一樣
The lyrics of 張惠妹's song 我最親愛的 (My Dearest) tell the story of someone who wants to know how their loved one is doing. They've heard from others but want to hear it directly from the person they care about. The song refers to a past regret, but the singer has become stronger because of it. They're not afraid of being alone because they have loved and been loved. The chorus is a central message of the song - the singer wants to know how their dearest is doing and hopes that they are well, even without them. The singer wants to give their loved one a kiss like they used to, symbolizing the lingering feelings between them.
The second verse talks about how the singer has learned to be more optimistic in life - something their loved one would have appreciated. The phrase "有什麼錯，還不能夠被原諒" (What mistake have I made that cannot be forgiven?) hints at a past mistake that may have caused their separation, but the singer regrets it and is seeking reconciliation. Even though time has passed, the singer is telling their loved one that they can make up for the lost time, and sharing that time is still romantic.
