She is perhaps best remembered from the single "Fen Fei" (分飛). Between 1998 and 2001 she scored a series of hits in Taiwan, though she never achieved much fame outside of Asia.

Most of her songs were upbeat, catchy, melodic dance tracks, often with oddly childish themes or lyrics. Her song "Angel" even featured a chorus of kids singing along with her. Other well-known Yuki Hsu songs include "Ai De Ding Dong," "Who's Naughty," and a remake of the '90s techno track "Dub-i-Dub".

In 1999 she paired up with South Korean rapper Yoo Seung Jun to record the more sophisticated duet "Can't Wait," which brought her some fame outside of Taiwan. She was also notorious for the bizarre and outlandish hairdos she sported in many of her music videos.

After 2001 she stopped recording and turned her career to work in Taiwanese dramas.

有怪獸有怪獸有怪獸纏著我
有怪獸大怪獸醜怪獸粘著我
張開嘴一口又一口啃著我

地球上明明有四十幾億人口偏偏就是選中我
轟隆轟隆隆每天對著我噴火
想什麼做什麼身上穿著什麼牠的意見沒停過
嫌西又嫌東彷彿我不該是我

穿不穿耳洞（是我的耳朵）交幾個朋友（是我時間多）
熱心乾脆去指揮交通為什麼要管我
口紅再紅（沒要牠吻我）跟誰約會跟誰牽手
愛說去說反正我從來沒認真聽過

有怪獸有怪獸有怪獸纏著我
有怪獸大怪獸醜怪獸粘著我
一口又一口吃掉我本來很愉快的生活

有怪獸有怪獸有怪獸纏著我
爛怪獸大怪獸醜怪獸別煩我
再囉哩囉嗦一腳踹到外太空

穿不穿耳洞（是我的耳朵）交幾個朋友（是我時間多）
熱心乾脆去指揮交通為什麼要管我
口紅再紅（沒要牠吻我）跟誰約會跟誰牽手
愛說去說反正我從來沒認真聽過

有怪獸有怪獸有怪獸纏著我
有怪獸大怪獸醜怪獸粘著我
一口又一口吃掉我本來很愉快的生活

有怪獸有怪獸有怪獸纏著我
爛怪獸大怪獸醜怪獸別煩我
再囉哩囉嗦一腳踹到外太空

我是哭是笑是美是醜到底那一點犯錯
請還給我讓我自己快樂的自由

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song, "怪獸" (Monster), by 徐懷鈺, talk about the singer feeling trapped by a monster that clings to her, gnaws at her, breathes fire at her, and dictates her every move. The monster seems to criticize her every choice, from the clothes she wears to the friends she makes, and even the color of her lipstick. Despite this constant pressure, the singer remains defiant and seeks her own happiness and freedom.

Symbolically, the monster could represent societal pressures and expectations that weigh heavily on individuals, forcing them into a mold that does not necessarily fit who they are. It may also touch on the idea of self-doubt and the constant critiquing of oneself that can often lead to a loss of personal agency and happiness.

There is also a sense of self-acceptance that runs through the song. The singer acknowledges that she has elements of beauty and ugliness, but she is ultimately content with who she is and wants to be allowed to pursue her own happiness without the monster's interference.

Overall, "怪獸" is a powerful and relatable song about the struggle for self-acceptance and freedom in the face of outside pressures.
