A former business administration student, Chua started out singing in English, releasing her first English album, Bored, in 1997. She was also the first Singaporean to win a prize in the Asia Song Festival, coming in first in the "Unpublished" category in 1998 before she furthered her studies at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California.
Chua signed on to Universal Music Taiwan in 1998 and released her first Mandarin album, Breathe, in 1999. That album comprised compositions of her English songs matched to Chinese lyrics by Taiwanese lyricists. In 2001, Tanya performed for her own country during the Singapore National Day Parade 2001 with the theme song titled "Where I Belong".
In 2003 Chua signed with a new contract with Warner Music in Taiwan, releasing the album Stranger, which topped sales charts in Taiwan. Her second Warner album, Amphibian (2005), won her a "Best Female Artist" at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards. The 2006 release of her compilation T-time marked an end to her album contract with Warner, and she is currently under record label, Asia Muse. Her "Goodbye and Hello" (2007) album was nominated 7 times at the 19th Golden Melody Awards where she repeated her "Best Female Artist" win and also garnered a "Best Producer" award. She followed up with three Singapore Hit Awards for Best Local Lyrics, Outstanding Local Music Achievement, and Asia Media (Female Artiste) in November 2009.

編曲：黃韻仁/蔡健雅
有時寂寞太沉重 身邊彷彿只是觀眾 妳的感受沒有人懂
難得誰自告奮勇 體貼讓人格外感動 愛上他前後用不到一分鐘
＊嘿～ 回想戀情的內容 有誰想過有始有終
＃穿梭一段 又另一段 感情中 愛為何總填不滿又掏不空
很快就風起雲湧 人類的心是個無底洞
●嘗試親吻 嘗試擁抱 或溝通 沒有好感再嘗試也沒有用
大多數人都相同 喜歡的只是愛情的臉孔
沒有誰背後慫恿 不該愛又愛的衝動 是你害怕孤單而拚命補充
Repeat ＊ ＃ ●
很快就風起雲湧 人類的心是個無底洞
Repeat ●
The lyrics to 蔡健雅's song 無底洞 talk about the struggles of feeling lonely even when surrounded by people. The first stanza describes how sometimes when feeling lonely, it feels like there is no one around who understands you. Others may try to empathize, but they can never truly know what you're feeling. The second stanza reflects on past relationships and how they sometimes lack a fulfilling end, only leading to momentary indulgence. The chorus refers to the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of disappointments in love, trying one thing after another but never feeling like it's enough. The bridge highlights how love can be the reason why we take risks and make impulsive decisions, all in the effort to avoid being alone.
Overall, the song is about the universality of our emotions and the struggles we face in love. It touches on themes of loneliness, longing, and the constant search for meaning and fulfillment in our lives. It depicts how sometimes, even with our best efforts, our hearts can remain an empty hole that can never be filled.

有時寂寞太沉重 身邊彷彿只是觀眾 妳的感受沒有人懂
Sometimes, loneliness feels too heavy and everyone around us seems like an audience, no one understands how we feel.
難得誰自告奮勇 體貼讓人格外感動 愛上他前後用不到一分鐘
Rarely does someone volunteer, goes out of their way and is kind-hearted, and we fall in love with them in mere seconds.
＊嘿～ 回想戀情的內容 有誰想過有始有終 不過是一時脆弱讓人放縱
Hey, remembering the content of our love, did anyone plan to have a beginning and an end? It's just our vulnerability that lets us indulge.
＃穿梭一段 又另一段 感情中 愛為何總填不滿又掏不空 很快就風起雲湧 人類的心是個無底洞
# Going in and out of relationships, why is it that love can't be filled yet can't be emptied? Soon, emotions will go wild because the human heart is a bottomless pit.
●嘗試親吻 嘗試擁抱 或溝通 沒有好感再嘗試也沒有用 大多數人都相同 喜歡的只是愛情的臉孔
Trying to kiss, hug or communicate when there is no affection is futile. Most people are the same, they only like the face of love.
沒有誰背後慫恿 不該愛又愛的衝動 是你害怕孤單而拚命補充
No one is instigating from behind, the impulse to love someone we shouldn't is because we are afraid of being alone and trying to fill the void.
很快就風起雲湧 人類的心是個無底洞
Soon, emotions will go crazy because the human heart is a bottomless pit.

小時候聽情歌，聽旋律好聽。
經歷後聽情歌，聽刻骨銘心。

“初聞不支曲中意，再聞已是曲中人”
這句話永遠適用
從小聽到的只是對愛情的嚮往，到自己親身經歷一段水深火熱的愛戀。
@user-sl2bv5yv1f
沒有好感
再嘗試也沒有用
無數次的感動永遠贏不了一瞬間的心動
說的真是太貼切了

或許有些戀情是一看就清楚對方到底是不是自己要的人，或許有些感情是講究感受與感覺的，或許現代人太過於寂寞與孤寂所以才會容易愛上陌生人,或許有些人想要藉由別人來尋找自我價值與歸屬感，或許有些人比較沒有安全感那需要有人隨時隨地在身邊，或許有些人是耐不住寂寞與孤寂，或許許多戀情都是發生在當下與瞬間，或許這人的磁場與你相同所以才會互相吸引，或許有些人是尋找所謂的心靈伴侶就是不用過的的言語就能明白對方所要傳達的意念，或許人最重要的不是言語而是心的交流，有時候一個動作就能明白對方要的是什麼，或許能夠遇到相知相惜並且攜手相伴但確實不易但要能完全明瞭並且能夠理解且接受的更少，有些時候人只站在自我角度與立場在想那並不能為對方著想，或許人都有私心那凡事都是以自我為主其實還蠻正常與合理，或許人與人相處過程就蠻重要的那可以看出一個人的生活習慣與態度，那是正經八百與隨便應付是看的出來，或許有些人是蠻會作些表面工夫與虛偽的作事，或許你問他什麼但他卻隨口回覆這就知道你在他心中的位置，或許有些人只是想要找個伴那就隨便找找可這隨便找找往往不符合自己期待，

歌词很有意思，很多人都只是因为寂寞，遇到了对你好的人就开始了恋爱，但喜欢的只是恋爱的感觉，与对象无关

靠..這手機真的太有年代。
明明我覺得我昨天才聽著新歌啊😂

現在這個年紀才覺得這首歌寫的真好，唉，現代男女的戀愛模式。

聽到這首歌就想起我小的時候，多麼自由在，不像現在… 時間不留人 😢
