Yumiko was originally a member of the group 3T (along with Mandy and Maggie Lau), which released an EP in September of 2002. Yumiko's potential was, however, soon identified by the company and in November 2002, her first solo EP Yumiko The Debut EP was released, followed by DanceDanceDance (舞舞舞) in June of 2003. Her first full-length album One2Three was released in November 2003.

She returned precipitately in June of 2005 with the song "Arabian Market" (亞拉伯市場). Her fourth full-length studio album, Passion was released in April of 2006, which sees a continuation of the Middle Eastern theme in the single "Lupine Girl" (狼女).

Yumiko has also starred in several films, including a special guest appearance in Stanley Kwan's 2005 feature, Everlasting Regret.

我试过撇低你
不过你太神奇
来回重复讲哲理
驯服我不敢远飞
就你的悲喜
我竟完全学你
等于影印机
全没有自我

只想找到转机
我对你再紧要
不够你基本需要
如何留恋多半秒
谁共你渡过通宵
是我先开口
借她来成就
做别离借口
其实不懂决择未爱够
再软弱亦要走
下决心就算狠
誓要赢得震撼
看强度会扭转天昏地暗
离别就像炮轰经典进行
终于逼得出我这份勇敢
是决心未够狠
甚至明知故问
这时分你共谁在公开亲吻
情形就算这样发生
应该不触发药引
让我来扮最强
遮挡我脆弱过敏
过去我太胆小
不过最终忍不了
教训你即管冷笑
其实我自信不少
若你先开口
我怎能承受
在门前独守
宁愿率先拒绝被占有
我要壮烈地放手
下决心就算狠
誓要赢得震撼
看强度会扭转天昏地暗
离别就像炮轰经典进行
终于逼得出我这份勇敢
是决心未够狠
甚至明知故问
这时分你共谁在公开亲吻
情形就算这样发生
应该不触发药引
让我来扮最强
遮挡我脆弱过敏
试过快乐填满旧地
呼吸也为想见你一直到尾
甜蜜暗语我未忘记得起
分开似做戏未决绝得起
下决心就算狠
没有赢得震撼
我曾自信扭转天昏地暗
离别就像炮轰经典进行
怎知风光一过放下信心
是决心未够狠
夜半重新发问
我强度过份强亦只得激愤
谁人愿意这样转身
先开口触发药引

是最强但最傻
偏不爱接受教训

Overall Meaning

The song "狠" by 鄭希怡 (Jenny Cheng) is a poignant reflection on a difficult and emotionally charged relationship. The lyrics express the singer's struggle to separate herself from a partner who is too overbearing, offering unsolicited advice and trying to control her every move. She feels suffocated and unable to break free, even as she recognizes the need to do so. The song explores themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and the courage to leave a toxic situation, even when it is painful.

The lyrics describe the singer's attempts to distance herself from her partner, but also how she finds herself copying his behaviors and losing her own sense of self in the process. She recognizes that she is not enough for him and that she needs to find her own way, even if it means being alone. The chorus urges her to be strong and to make a firm decision, even if it hurts.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension and conflict, as the singer struggles to find the courage to leave. At the same time, there is a sense of hope and determination, as she pushes herself to be strong and to move on. Despite the pain and uncertainty, she is determined to make a better life for herself.
