Hugely popular in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, she has also gained a large following in Japan and is to date the only C-pop artist to have performed 4 times in Tokyo's Budokan. In the West she is best known for starring in Wong Kar-wai's films Chungking Express and 2046.While she has collaborated with international artists such as Cocteau Twins, Wong recorded only a few songs in English, including "Eyes on Me" – the theme song of the video game Final Fantasy VIII. Wong is known to be reserved in public, and has gained a reputation for her "coolness".In Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture, Jeroen de Kloet characterised her as "singer, actress, mother, celebrity, royalty, sex symbol and diva all at the same time."

虽然你从来不曾对我着迷
我总是微笑的看着你
我的情意总是轻易就洋溢眼底
我曾经想过在寂寞的夜里
你终于在意在我的房间里
你闭上眼睛亲吻了我
不说一句紧紧抱我在你的怀里
我爱你到底
生平第一次我放下矜持
任凭自己幻想一切关于我和你
你是爱我的
你爱我到底
生平第一次我放下矜持
相信自己真的可以深深去爱你
......
我曾经想过在寂寞的夜里
你终于在意在我的房间里
你闭上眼睛亲吻了我
不说一句紧紧抱我在你怀里
我是爱你的
我爱你到底
生平第一次我放下矜持
任凭自己幻想一切关于我和你
你是爱我的
你爱我到底
生平第一次我放下矜持
相信自己真的可以深深去爱你
深深去爱你
......
深深去爱你

The lyrics to 王菲's song Jin Chi speak about the intense and unrequited love that the singer has for someone. The first verse acknowledges the person's charm, admitting that she has never resisted it, even though the person has never shown any interest in her. Despite this, she continues to smile at them and her emotions for them easily show in her eyes. The singer then confesses that she has imagined scenarios where the person comes to her in the middle of the night and kisses her, holding her tightly without saying a word. This shows that the singer is willing to let her guard down and be vulnerable with this person.
In the chorus, the singer makes a declaration of love, stating that she loves this person to the end and has put aside her reservations about expressing her feelings. She allows herself to fantasize about everything concerning them, even if it may not be feasible. The second half of the chorus reveals that unlike the singer, the person loves her as well. It is a significant moment for her as she admits to herself that she can love the person deeply without holding back.
In conclusion, 王菲's Jin Chi perfectly captures the feeling of unrequited and intense love, and the singer's willingness to let down her guard for the person she loves.

« Restrained »
I have never resisted your charm,
even though you have never been fascinated by me,
I always look at you with a smile,
my affection always overflows easily
I used to think that in the lonely night,
you finally cared about being in my room,
you closed your eyes and kissed me without saying a word,
hug me tightly in your arms
I love you
I love you to the end, for the first time in my life,
I let go of my reservations and let myself fantasize about me and you
You love me
Do you love me to the end
For the first time in my life I let go of my restraint and
believe that I can really love you deeply
I used to think that in the lonely night,
you finally cared about being in my room,
you closed your eyes and kissed me without saying a word,
hug me tightly in your arms
