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.

謝安琪 Lyrics

與你隔別後數年
於知己婚禮盛宴
湊巧碰到 如韓劇上演
當天的臉 今天出現
似熟稔 但不安的友善 尤怪異
閒聊後不知所措 兩雙手也在顫
大雨灑過後晴天
是老生空話 旨在哄騙
從上次吵架後不瞅不睬不見
彼此關係急速擱淺
若那天故事重演
讓惱火意氣沉澱
共你也許有幸較早以前
已組織婚禮盛宴
想開口卻 諸多不便
怕尷尬又面對面
不捨得扯遠視線
彷彿借此 同回味昨天
轉載來自 魔鏡歌詞網
可惜經過 光陰洗煉
各自有自己的新發現
兩心知 完場後終須分散
也許不再遇見
大雨灑過後晴天
是老生空話 旨在哄騙
從上次吵架後不瞅不睬不見
彼此關係急速擱淺
若那天故事重演
讓惱火意氣沉澱
共你也許有幸較早以前
已組織婚禮盛宴
沒有等雨後晴天
未撲熄心火 已話再見
回望那天已埋下不可歸的線
交織今日這種靦腆
若那天故事重演
暫放低意氣顏面
共你也許有幸會於晚年
回憶分享這盛宴
These lyrics are about a chance encounter between two people who haven't seen each other in years. They meet at a friend's wedding banquet and their interactions are filled with tension and hesitation. They are unsure of how to act around each other, as there was a falling out between them after an argument. The lyrics suggest that they both feel a sense of regret and nostalgia for the past, but are also realizing that they have both moved on to separate lives and may never see each other again.
The first verse sets the scene for the encounter, with the singer describing the feeling of electricity between them upon their meeting. The second verse reflects on the past and the reasons for their estrangement, while also acknowledging the possibility of reconciliation. The chorus discusses the aftermath of the rainstorm and how it echoes the idea of false promises and lies. The final verse suggests that while they may never have another chance to reconnect, they will always have the memory of that day and the wedding banquet they attended together.
Overall, the lyrics capture the complex emotions surrounding a chance meeting between former friends or lovers. It highlights the push and pull of nostalgia and regret, while also acknowledging the reality that sometimes people move on from each other and never look back.
