In 2002, whilst still a university student majoring in American Studies at the University of Hong Kong, Kay Tse entered a university singing competition and won First Prize. She also entered an inter-schools singing competition in 2003 and made the final five, impressing one of the judges so much that he offered her a professional contract with his small music label. At the time she was working as a piano teacher.
Tse's debut Cantonese album "Kay One" was released on May 6, 2005 to an unsuspecting Hong Kong public. The album includes 2 non-Cantonese songs, an English version of 《我歌…故我在》 ("The One and Only") and a Mandarin version of 《姿色份子》named "Plastic Roses" (《塑膠玫瑰》).
Initially, due to the dearth of love songs in her albums, Tse was not popular in the mainstream Cantopop market. Nevertheless, many music industry insiders have tipped her singing ability to have big potential (despite her plain looks) and regard her as one of a new breed of 'non-idol' singers who sell their singing ability rather than their looks.
Tse had several hits in 2005. These include the songs:
《姿色份子》, a fast catchy pop tune mocking the Asian dieting trend;
《我歌…故我在》, a slow ballad expressing a singer's feelings on the stage;
《臭男人》, a funky song that makes fun of different types of men;
《開卷快樂》, a fast Jazz song satirizing the tabloid magazines;
《跟我走》, an encouraging, grateful song accompanied by a touching music video to thank her loyal fans who like and follow her music even though she doesn't release many love songs to cater to the mainstream.
On January 1, 2006, Tse won the Bronze Award for CRHK 2005 Best Newcomer, along with Ivana Wong and Janice Vidal who won Silver and Gold respectively.
Despite not appearing in public for most of 2007 for maternal leave, Tse was still one of the top three female singers with the most airplay on the radio.
In 2008, 囍帖街 sung by Kay Tse became the undisputed Cantonese song of the year and has won almost every major award in several categories (including best song, best melody, best lyrics, and best album) for that year in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. Thus, Kay Tse also won the coveted Hong Kong Four Stations Media Award for being the artist who won the most awards in 2008. Consequently, her popularity rose sharply and she has since become one of the top female Hong Kong singers in just a few years.
In 2010 and 2013, Tse released Mandarin albums targeting mainland China and Taiwan markets. She is one of the few newcomers in the 21st century to successfully reach audiences outside of her native Hong Kong, and is now considered one of the top artists from China/Hong Kong region for both Mandarin and Cantonese songs. She was runner-up in a China national singing contest. She once represented China/HK in an Asia-wide concert that took place in South Korea.
Since 2006, Tse has won the CASH Golden Sail Music Awards for best female performance four times.

放弃理想吧
别再看尘封的喜帖你正在要搬家
筑得起人应该接受都有日倒下
其实没有一种安稳快乐永远也不差
就似这一区曾经称得上美满甲天下
但霎眼全街的单位快要住满乌鸦
好景不会每日常在天梯不可只往上爬
大概不需要害怕
忘掉爱过的他
当初的喜帖金箔印着那位他
裱起婚纱照那道墙及一切美丽旧年华
明日同步拆下
忘掉有过的家
小餐枱沙发雪柜及两份红茶
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗
等不到下一代 是吗
忘掉砌过的沙回忆的堡垒刹那已倒下
面对这浮起的荒土你注定学会潇洒
阶砖不会拒绝磨蚀窗花不可幽禁落霞
有感情就会一生一世吗
又再婉惜有用吗
忘掉爱过的他
当初的喜帖金箔印着那位他
裱起婚纱照那道墙及一切美丽旧年华
明日同步拆下
忘掉有过的家
小餐枱沙发雪柜及两份红茶
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗
终须会时辰到别怕
请放下手里那锁匙好吗

忘掉種過的花 重新的出發 放棄理想吧
別再看塵封的囍帖 你正在要搬家
築得起 人應該接受 都有日倒下
其實沒有一種安穩快樂 永遠也不差
就似這一區 曾經稱得上 美滿甲天下
但霎眼 全街的單位 快要住滿烏鴉
好景不會每日常在
天梯不可只往上爬
愛的人 沒有一生一世嗎
大概不需要害怕
忘掉愛過的他
當初的囍帖金箔印着那位他
裱起婚紗照那道牆
及一切美麗舊年華 明日同步拆下
忘掉有過的家
小餐枱、沙發、雪櫃及兩份紅茶
溫馨的光境不過借出 到期拿回嗎
等不到下一代 是嗎
忘掉砌過的沙
回憶的堡壘 刹那已倒下
面對這 墳起的荒土 你註定學會瀟灑
階磚不會拒絕磨蝕
窗花不可幽禁落霞
有感情 就會一生一世嗎
又再惋惜有用嗎
忘掉愛過的他
當初的囍帖金箔印着那位他
裱起婚紗照那道牆
及一切美麗舊年華 明日同步拆下
忘掉有過的家
小餐枱、沙發、雪櫃及兩份紅茶
溫馨的光境不過借出 到期拿回嗎
終須會時辰到 別怕
請放下手裡那鎖匙 好嗎

當知道要離開香港時，這首歌的歌詞 湧進我的腦海裏。是的， 舊時美好的香港永遠不會再回來了，那些美好的景象只能留在回憶的海裡，是時候要重新出發了，再見啦香港！
‘’忘掉種過的花重生的出發放棄理想吧， 別再看塵封的單位你正在要搬家， 築得起人應該接受都有日倒下， 其實沒有一種安穩快樂永遠也不差。‘’
