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 She was also the first Singaporean to win a prize in the Asia Song Festival, coming in first in the "Unpublished" category in 1998 before she furthered her studies at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California.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.

红色高跟鞋
蔡健雅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
拿什么跟你作比较才算特别
对你的感觉 强烈
却又不太了解 只凭直觉
你像窝在被子里的舒服
却又像风 捉摸不住
像手腕上散发的香水味
该怎么去形容你最贴切
拿什么跟你作比较才算特别
对你的感觉 强烈
却又不太了解 只凭直觉
你像窝在被子里的舒服
却又像风 捉摸不住
像手腕上散发的香水味
像爱不释手的 红色高跟鞋
你像窝在被子里的舒服
却又像风 捉摸不住
像手腕上散发的香水味
像爱不释手的
我爱你有种左灯右行的冲突
疯狂却怕没有退路
你能否让我停止这种追逐
就这么双 最后唯一的 红色高跟鞋
The song "红色高跟鞋" by 蔡健雅 (Tanya Chua) is a love song that talks about how difficult it is to describe someone who is special to you. The lyrics talk about the intense feelings that the singer has for this person, but at the same time, they don't fully understand them. They rely only on their intuition to guide them.
The song uses several metaphors to describe this person. They are compared to the comfortable feeling of being wrapped up in a warm blanket, as well as to the elusive nature of the wind. Their scent is compared to the fragrance of a perfume that lingers on the wrist. Most prominently, they are compared to a pair of red high heels that the singer loves and cannot let go of. These metaphors are used to convey the idea that the singer's feelings for this person are complex and multifaceted.
The chorus of the song reveals that the singer has conflicting emotions. They are deeply in love, but they are also afraid that they will not be able to pursue this love without consequences. They ask if this person can help them stop chasing after them, and become the one and only love in their life.
Overall, "红色高跟鞋" is a poignant and introspective look at the tumultuous nature of love, and the complexities of understanding and expressing feelings for someone who is special to you.

那什么跟你作比较 (特别)
对你的感觉 (强烈)
却又不太了解只凭 (直觉)
每次听都会想起曾经暗恋过的,想了解却错过机会
就算已经那么多年还是会偷偷的关注她的日常
知道她开开心心的我就已经满足了
也许已经失去那份再次靠近的勇气了
也许到闭上眼睛那一刻都忘不了她的笑容
也许忘不了也是一种煎熬的幸福吧...

这首歌歌词,是不是在形容天秤女,像风一般的捉摸不定呢!
她给的温暖让人非常感动,和她相处时,会感到满满的快乐和自信
外表给人有非常特别的气质和魅力。
但时常感觉不出,她内心的想法究竟是什么,会陷入没有安全感的样子
总是害怕别人的异样眼光,而担心、想太多
当幸福来临时,也不断的在想,幸福什么时候会溜走
明明很想打开心房接受爱,也很想勇敢的付出爱,但仍然放不下过去
过去的伤害不断的提醒自己,小心受伤,就是害怕重蹈覆辙
于是一次又一次的错过、推开「对的人」。
————————————————————————————————————————
听到这首歌,让我感触良深!
愿她尽快走出过去的感情伤痛!😢

該怎麼去形容你最貼切

你像窩在被子裡的舒服
卻又像風 捉摸不住
像手腕上散發的香水味
像愛不釋手的 紅色高跟鞋
