Eason Chan has also been successful in his work in the Mandopop scene. He has won numerous awards in both Mainland and Taiwan, most notably Taiwan's Golden Melody Award. "Admit It" was a another notable work of Eason Chan, which led to a nomination for Golden Melody Award's Best Male Singer; the award was ultimately won by Gary Chaw.

Eason Chan has been named by Chinese critics as the next God of Songs (歌神) after Jacky Cheung. However, Eason has more than once clarified that he wishes to build his own name instead, and not just be the successor of Jacky Cheung.

Chan and Cheung have collaborated on other occasions as well. They sang a duet of Cheung's 頭髮亂了 in a fundraising campaign for SARS victims in 2003.

Chan not only sings but also plays a variety of musical instrument including piano, violin, accordion, guitar and drums. He frequently showcases his musical talent by incorporating instruments into his live performances. Chan is also a song-writer who has written many songs, some included in his albums.

離開喧嘩的城市　這闕歌襯托出色往事
琴聲天天呼喚我　邊唱邊走照哼RE　DO　LA

雪白變得淡黃　那是晚空月光
從簡單中看迷茫

同行在這客套城堡
有喜總有悲　人海中漂泊
徘徊在這狹窄長梯
有高總有低　如不懂心計
能珍惜一切

回家一刻哼著唱　經典金曲掛口邊細嚐
如果一天失落了　傷過的他更懂得快樂

雪白變得淡黃　那是晚空月光
從簡單中看迷茫

同行在這客套城堡
有喜總有悲　人海中漂泊
徘徊在這狹窄長梯
有高總有低　如不懂心計
能得到更多

留在這客套城堡
有悲總有喜　人不要自危
隨時代走也是用這雙手
再辛苦也好　亦不要淡忘
自己的功過

不要淡忘
