Coco Lee was born in Hong Kong with ancestry from Harbin, China. Her father died before she was born. Lee moved with her mother and sister to California at age 10 and went through school while experimenting with her singing voice and following her older sisters in entering several local singing contests. After her high school graduation in 1993 she took a holiday in Hong Kong, and while there she came runner-up in a major singing talent quest. The following day she was approached by local record label Fancy Pie Records, recording four studio albums with them in 1994-95 before being picked up in 1996 by Sony who have continued to represent her until 2008.
CoCo sang the theme song "A Love Before Time" for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She received worldwide exposure when she performed the song live at the 2001 Academy Awards ceremony.
Lee followed up the success of the "Just No Other Way" album with subsequent releases such as "You and Me" (2000), "Promise Coco" (2001), "Exposed" (2005) and "Just Want You" (2006).
In August 2009, Lee issued her Mandarin album, "East To West". The album and its singles became a success. She kicked off the "East2West" World Concert Tour at the Taipei Arena on March 27, 2010. On July 3 and 4 2010, Lee appeared at the Encore Theatre at Wynn Casino in Las Vegas, U.S.

The song "Touch" by 李玟 (Li Wen) is a lyrical and contemplative piece expressing the longing for deep and meaningful connections with love and life. The opening lines of the song, "Mito emi ne nia nuana'o" and "Wo men lai zi yao yuan de guo qu," suggest a sense of nostalgia for a lost or distant past. The second line, "Zou xiang wei lai," or "walking towards the future," implies a sense of hopefulness despite the melancholy tone of the song.
The lyrics then describe a state of being overcome by the beauty of the present moment, represented by the metaphor of the sun shining through clouds creating patterns of light and shadow. The line, "Zhen ai zai qian wen ci cui lian hou fa chu chun jie guang" conveys the idea of love being revealed through a fleeting moment, like a ray of sunshine bursting through a cloud. The sentiment of this line is reinforced by the following two lines, "Gang qing zhong kuai le de tong ku dou zhi de peng zhang yin wei ai suo yi xi wang," which suggest that even the pain and difficulty that comes with deep emotions is worth it in the end.

(我們來自遙遠的過去)
(走向不確定的未來)
下一個世紀會是怎樣 為何悲傷歌聲在流行傳唱
我想陽光不會讓花兒沮喪 白雲依舊為輕風飛翔
真愛在千萬次焠煉後發出純潔光芒
感情中快樂的痛苦的都值得碰撞 因為愛所以希望
(我要牽著你的手走遍世界每個地方)
我願意在任何地方只要你在身旁 在我心上
我用感謝的心情迎接每個晨光夕陽
讓愛能夠一點點一線線無限延長 在我心上
(會實現的咒語)
