In 1999, when A-Lin was 16 years old and taught children to sing the hymn "Amazing Grace" after the 921 earthquake in Nantou County, she was discovered by her former agent. However, he was not available when she wanted to give him contact information. Fortunately, four years later, A-Lin met him again in a bar where she sang regularly. She was officially offered a singing contract.
A-Lin made her debut in the world of music at the end of 2006, achieving rapid commercial success. She got the nickname 天生歌姬, meaning "A Born Diva". A-Lin was often quoted as saying that A-Mei is highly influential to her music and often covers A-Mei's songs in music shows and concerts. A-Lin has won numerous music awards and is extremely popular within Mandarin-speaking world.
A-Lin has performed internationally and at a sold-out concert with Xiao Yu and Shin in 2012 at the Sydney Town Hall. It was her first visit to Sydney and people flew in from different cities just to see her.
In 2013, with Avex Taiwan exiting the market due to overall poor sales from the records, all singers under Avex like Huang Li-ling were allowed to terminate their contracts early.
After terminating her contract, A-Lin signed with her new label Sony Music. In December 2014, she released her first album after leaving Avex. This album was nominated for Best Mandarin Female Singer, making her fourth nomination without any win.
In 2015, she participated in the third season of I Am a Singer and came in sixth on the finale held in March 2015. As a result, her singing ability was recognized by more people and provided a boost to her career.
我很忙
A-Lin Lyrics

不需要狂歡 人群只是空虚
多數的關心 只是嘴上說而已
真正懂我的人是自己
我的眼睛 一做夢就看到你
一閉上就想哭泣
笑容忽然間變成奢侈品
我的生活 充滿了和你有關的記憶
就讓我忙得瘋掉 忙得累到
連哭的時間都没有最好
就讓我忙的忘掉 你的懷抱
它曾帶给我的美好
當有人問好不好 怕傷心奪眶
就咬牙说我很忙
這完美的謊 完美的偽裝
才讓我的痛 没人看到
我的眼睛 一做夢就看到你
一閉上就想哭泣
笑容忽然間變成奢侈品
你在哪里 曾是每天要問你的一句
我要戒断 這種惡習
就讓我忙得瘋掉 忙得累到
連哭的時間都没有最好
就讓我忙的忘掉 你的懷抱
它曾帶给我的美好
當有人問好不好 怕傷心奪眶
就咬牙說我很忙
這完美的谎 完美的偽裝
才讓我的痛 没人看到
當一个麻痹的人 那有多好
心里沒别的只有忙忙忙
工作是一種抵抗 一帖解藥
人怎能被想念打倒
當有人問好不好 怕傷心奪眶
就咬牙說我很忙
这完美的谎 完美的偽裝
才讓我的痛 没人看到
The lyrics of A-Lin's "我很忙" (I'm Busy) express the artist's desire to stay busy and preoccupied with work, rather than taking a break or indulging in festivities. She feels that the attention and concern she receives from others are superficial and insincere. The only person who truly understands her is herself. A-Lin's dreams are haunted by the image of someone she misses, and she feels like a smile is a luxury she can't afford. Her life is filled with memories of this person, and whenever there's a storm outside, she's reminded of them. Despite the grueling workload and exhaustion, she prefers to stay busy, so she doesn't have to face the pain of missing someone. A-Lin acknowledges that pretending to be fine and constantly staying busy is a perfect lie or facade, but it's the only way she can cope with her pain. She concludes the song by saying that being emotionally numb and busy is better than feeling the pain of missing someone.

2020年了~我還是很喜歡這首歌~
愛上這首歌時．並不是失戀期．
當時工作壓力大．婚姻不幸福．
真的就是故意把自己攪的很忙．
忙的讓自己沒時間抱怨．讓自己不去想那些不開心的事～
（就讓我忙的瘋掉．忙的累倒．連哭的時間都沒有最好）
因為沒有發洩．心情都開心不起來．
一直隱藏自己的憂鬱不是辦法．聽了這首歌．
情緒完全崩潰瑄洩．．．．．哭過一場．
隔天又更有勇氣面對壓力無助的生活～～～
現在我是一位單親媽媽了～
真的每天都很忙～～～真的～～～我很忙
很需要Ａｌｉｎ的情歌陪我渡過很多非常時期～～★★★★★

還記得三年前第一次聽這首歌就深深的愛上了，然後A-Lin的歌就這樣陪著我度過那一年的秋冬。三年以來雖然一直默默的當著熊迷，卻很少聽這首歌，因為它載有太多回憶，我不敢聽。今天又回到這裡，重新聽一下這久違的好歌，聽到的已然不同了; 我很忙不再是為了逃避，而是為了面對解決，我相信我會有勇氣繼續忙，直到所以事情都圓滿解決。歌還是一樣動人，但帶給我的只有回憶，卻不再傷人。

每句唱的都是心声，尤其是这句：“多数的关心，只是嘴上说说而已，真正懂我的人是自己！”现在朋友间的关系都是这么脆弱和敷衍，漂亮话谁都会说，可真正有谁能理解自己的亲人朋友并为他们分担痛苦的呢？
