The lyrics to 蔡依林's song "特務J" describe the secret life of a secret agent, with the imagery of a long dark night being shattered by piercing screams and the scent of perfume indicating the location of the agent. The deep night sky is lit up by a shooting star tempting the full moon, and the singer wears a mask to sneak through the streets of Paris, hopping over the famous Notre Dame cathedral. The chorus of the song reveals the singer as a perfect secret agent with the initial "J" identifying the singer with the sharp sting of a scorpion. The lyrics evoke a sense of intrigue and adventure as the singer navigates through the city, heralding the beginning of an exciting mission.
The lyrics also touch on the ten commandments of love, warning against laziness, self-doubt, shallowness, and unrequited love. The song portrays the singer as a master of manipulation, who can freeze their target in the spotlight and penetrate their love blind spot, yet despite all their mastery, they cannot overcome the eternal unattainability of love.
Overall, the song invokes a sense of romantic mystery, with the singer portrayed as a dashing and mysterious figure. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace adventure and live life to the fullest, while cautioning them against the pitfalls of love.

不斷求新求變求進步，不斷超越自己，
Jolin真的是台灣少見不斷要求自己，
而且堅持在音樂路上的音樂人👍
jsdreamz
Jolin從舞孃的彩帶舞到特務J的鋼管和空中體操真的已經升格天后
尤少得
是舞后
C Ray
地才天后
嗯嗯
那些都是jolin太勉強自己，就算沒做到這樣還是天后。

我記得2008年小時候聽這個主打歌，看了這個MV後，我在當地的唱片店買了《特務J》。這首歌和MV都很好。
我喜歡她的歌聲，看她的舞蹈動作，以及她在這個MV中的表演。
她的整張專輯真的很好聽。放學後，我每次都不停地重播她的專輯，我很喜歡。
這張專輯自2007年9月至今已有15年的歷史。時間過得真快！

我觉得Jolin就是因为走得超前才会被黑子攻击抄袭什么的!但是华语舞曲Jolin总是每张专辑都带来新因素!记得特务J这张专辑出来的时候简直帅的我一脸
小魚
+Emmanuel Lee (祥祥) 其實少時 有一隻mv RunDevilRun穿的也跟jolin這隻很像 很像不等於抄襲...
小魚
Emmanuel Lee 就是都一樣走帥氣特務女生風格 當然jolin的我覺得好看一點
小魚
Emmanuel Lee 就是帥帥女生那種感覺 給我感覺是這樣啦 當初看到 我就想到jolin這隻mv 但不會說是抄襲啦
