Likened to Seiko Matsuda, she won a singing contest and was signed to a Japanese recording company S2S Pte Ltd at the age of 15.
After taking her O-level examinations in Singapore, Ong moved to Japan to further her studies as well as her career as a solo artist. In Singapore, Ong, along with 2 other Singaporean girls formed the Japanese pop (J-pop) group, Mirai. Their first single, "Open Up Your Mind", was one of the theme songs in the Japanese anime Gensoumaden Saiyuki.
She released her bestselling début, A Girl Meets Bossa Nova at only 19. With her sultry, soulful, pristine and innocent vocals, she reinterprets Frank Sinatra's hits such as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars", among other jazz and pop numbers. She is one of the new wave of Singaporean talent being exported internationally. So far, Ong is the only pop sensation exported exclusively to Japan; previous stars such as Mavis Hee, Kit Chan, Tanya Chua, Joi Chua, Stefanie Sun, Michelle Saram etc., have been promoted mainly in the Greater Chinese market.
In 2009 Ong was signed to Taiwanese record company HIM Music and became a big hit back in Singapore after she sang the theme song of the peranakan-themed drama serial, The Little Nyonya. She has stated that her paternal grandfather is Peranakan.
Her first record under HIM Music was released on 5 March 2010, entitled Olivia. In 2011, Ong recorded a duet, "最後一眼" (Just One Look), with label mate Aaron Yan of Fahrenheit, which was released in his debut EP The Next Me.
2001年，15歲的王儷婷在一場歌唱比賽中被日本S2S唱片公司的總裁Suzuki Ken發掘，並簽入其旗下。她結束了在新加坡的中學教育，花了一年時間在日本的高中學習，隨後成為一名全職藝人。
2004年11月，王儷婷在一場新加坡對日本的足球賽（2006世界盃亞洲區預選賽）上清唱了新加坡國歌「前進吧，新加坡！（Majulah Singapura）」，吸引了當時很多觀眾的注意。
2005年，王儷婷的首張專輯《A Girl Meets Bossa Nova》問世，採用巴薩諾瓦（Bossa Nova）曲風，受到好評。在這成功的基礎上，她於同年發行了個人第一張創作專輯《Precious Stones》。此後 Olivia Ong 在日本和新加坡受到廣泛關注。她繼而推出了偏向流行音樂風格的《Tamarillo》以及《A Girl Meets Bossa Nova 2》。而她在2007年中旬推出的以翻唱並重新編曲的老歌為主的《Fall In Love With》更使得她在新加坡的人氣直線攀升。至此，王儷婷的所有專輯都是以英文姓名Olivia Ong發行的。
2008年12月8日，新加坡聯合早報刊登了《從日本迴流 王儷婷成飛輪海師妹》一文。報導稱，該歌手正式以中文姓名加盟華研國際音樂。同月，她的中文單曲《如燕》在新加坡933電臺打榜成功，取得了當週第二的成績。該歌曲亦被用作電視劇《小娘惹》的主題曲。
Olivia Ong 是首位通過打入日本市場而成名的新加坡歌手。在她之前其他藝人如孫燕姿、林俊傑、蔡健雅等皆是通過到台灣發展而走紅的。
Fields Of Gold
王儷婷 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
There have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Ooo-ooo-oo
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
You'll think of me when the breeze blows from the west
Among the fields of barley
In the fields of grains
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
You can see the sun setting in its envious sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we strolled through the fields of yellow grains
So she took her love
So she brought her affection
For to gaze awhile
To look for a while
Among the fields of barley
In the fields of grains
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
She fell in his embrace as her hair flowed down
Among the fields of gold
In the fields of yellow grains
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Will you remain with me, will you be my beloved
Among the fields of barley
In the fields of grains
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
You can see the sun setting in its envious sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we strolled through the fields of yellow grains
I never made promises lightly
I never made commitments casually
There have been some that I've broken
There were some that I did not keep
But I swear in the days still left
But I promise in the remaining days

Watch the children running as the sun sets
As you lie in fields of gold
As you rest in the fields of yellow grains
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
You'll think of me when the breeze blows from the west
Among the fields of barley
In the fields of grains
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
You can see the sun setting in its envious sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we strolled through the fields of yellow grains
When we walked in fields of gold
