Janice is emerging as one of the new singers in Hong Kong and Asia. Her music style is a mixture of Cantopop, Jazz and R&B. She performs her songs in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and will be performing songs in Korean in the near future.
Before becoming an artist herself, Janice had always enjoyed singing. Her voice came to the attention of renowned producer Mark Lui by chance when she recorded the backing vocals for one of mega star Leon Lai's songs in 2004. Janice obviously left a favourable impression on Lui, as upon Lui's stumbling across her voice he informed Leon, who in turn decided to offer Janice a contract with AMusic (東亞唱片), a newly-formed record label where both Leon Lai and Mark Lui were major investors (Leon transferred himself to Amusic as well). As a result Janice became the first newcomer to sign for AMusic in 2004.
Belonging to the same music label as Leon Lai, Janice first caught the media's attention days after Christmas of 2004 by covering in English one of Leon's essential tunes "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) on radio. The cover song quickly become a hit. Some fans initially thought it was an overseas singer who was covering one of Leon's classic hits, but were surprised to find out the singer was an unknown Hong Kong rookie. Since it was Christmas in Hong Kong at the time, Janice's first song was swiftly followed by a Christmas version of another Leon Lai cover "不可一世" (this time in Cantonese). The Cantonese cover of "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) was aired on radio in Spring 2005 for the first time. She learned English when she was in the United States.
By April 2005, Janice had become known as a mysterious singer who sung several cover versions of Leon Lai's songs, but whose face has never been shown in public. After roughly six months of radio publicity and building public anticipation, her face was finally unveiled when her debut album "Day & Night" was released on 13 April 2005.
On 25 November of the same year, Janice released her second album "My Love", a rarity for a newcomer in Hong Hong's music industry.
In mid-December of 2005 Janice was nominated by Commercial Radio 2 for the 2005 Hong Kong Music Awards Best Female Singer, which results are due out on Jan 1, 2006. On 1 January 2006, Janice was awarded by Commercial Radio Hong Kong (CRHK) the Gold prize for 2005 Best Female Newcomer., to the delight of her fans and family.

衛蘭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Followed a shooting star
We fired up the car
And travelled to after
Everyday
We shared a "Sianese dream"
Beside the schoolyard stairs
The songs we used to love
To keep you from burning up
Please take me back in time with you
To a time when you were trun
Visit all seven wonders
There won't be another
To keep me satisfied
If I can fall back into you
There is nothing I can't do
If I'm under the weather
We talk, I feel better
At least I knew I had
Someone who cared
Somebody baby
I tried to stay away
I tried to give you space
I could't help myself
I only wanted to help
You pushed my arms away
Then one day
You walked another way
A place I couldn't stay
My compass fell apart
I don't know where to star
To keep this from tearing up
Please take me back in time with you
To a time when you were trun
Visit all seven wonders
There won't be another
To keep me satisfied
If I can fall back into you
There is nothing I can't do
If I'm under the weather
We talk, I feel better
At least I knew I had
Someone who cared
Somebaby baby
These lyrics tell a story of longing for a lost connection and wishing to go back in time to a happier place. The singer reminisces about a past relationship, where they shared a special bond, referred to as a "Sianese dream." They used to have a deep connection, symbolized by the songs they used to love, but now those songs are not enough to keep the other person from "burning up," possibly indicating that they have moved on or lost interest.
The singer pleads for the other person to take them back to a time when things were better, to a time when they were true to each other. They imagine visiting all seven wonders of the world together, highlighting the uniqueness and irreplaceable nature of their connection. Falling back into this relationship is seen as a source of strength and empowerment, believing that there is nothing they can't accomplish if they have that love and support. The person's presence and care provided comfort, especially in difficult times.
However, despite their efforts to stay away and give the other person space, the relationship eventually falls apart. The singer feels lost and doesn't know where to start moving forward as their compass, which represents direction and guidance, falls apart. They are left yearning for the past and someone who cared for them.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia, longing for a lost love, and the desire to go back in time to relive a better, more connected period in the relationship.

I tried to find a place
I attempted to discover a location or state of mind
Followed a shooting star
I pursued a celestial object that streaked across the sky
We fired up the car
We ignited the automobile's engine
And travelled to after
And journeyed to a destination beyond the present
Everyday
Each and every day
We shared a 'Sianese dream'
We both held onto a shared vision or aspiration
Beside the schoolyard stairs
Adjacent to the steps leading up to the schoolyard
The songs we used to love
The melodies that we once adored
No longer good enough
No longer deemed satisfactory
To keep you from burning up
To prevent you from being consumed by an internal fire
Please take me back in time with you
I implore you to transport me back in time alongside you
To a time when you were true
To a period when your authenticity shone through
Visit all seven wonders
Explore all seven extraordinary marvels of the world
There won't be another
No alternative will suffice
To keep me satisfied
To maintain my contentment
If I can fall back into you
If I can return to our past connection
There is nothing I can't do
There are no limitations to my capabilities
If I'm under the weather
If I am feeling unwell or emotionally down
We talk, I feel better
When we converse, I experience an improvement in my well-being
At least I knew I had
At the very least, I was aware that I possessed
Someone who cared
Someone who demonstrated genuine concern
Somebody baby
A person who holds significance or affection in my life
I tried to stay away
I attempted to distance myself
I tried to give you space
I made efforts to provide you with personal freedom
I could't help myself
I lacked the ability to resist my own impulses
I only wanted to help
My intentions solely revolved around assisting you
You pushed my arms away
You forcefully rejected my embrace
Then one day
Subsequently, at a specific moment in time
You walked another way
You chose a different path or direction
A place I couldn't stay
A location where I could not remain
My compass fell apart
My guiding or navigational instrument disintegrated
I don't know where to start
I am uncertain of the beginning point
To keep this from tearing up
To prevent this from causing emotional damage

I tried to fly away
I tried to find a place
Followed a shooting star
We fired up the car
And travelled to afar
Everyday
We shared a 'Sianese dream'
Beside the schoolyard stairs
The songs we used to love
No longer good enough
To keep you from burning up
Please take me back in time with you
To a time when you were true
Visit all seven wonders
There won't be another
To keep me satisfied
If I can fall back into you
There is nothing I can't do
If I'm under the weather
