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.

去的世界如此遥远
我的思念是否看得见
你身影在脑海盘旋
微笑的脸如此明显
顿时瓦解所有的泪水
Purple Rain 如此美
但再也看不见
陪伴着不曾离去
跟着我们一直往前走下去
你知道我很爱你
永远在我的心底
让所有悲伤化作成最美丽的旋律
一字一句唱出
我真的想你
一如往常的你不告而别
去的世界如此遥远
我的思念是否看得见
你身影在脑海盘旋
微笑的脸如此明显
顿时瓦解所有的泪水
Purple Rain 如此美
但再也看不见
知道你永远在这里
陪伴着不曾离去
跟着我们一直往前走下去
你知道我很爱你
永远在我的心底
让所有悲伤化作成最美丽的旋律
一字一句唱出
我想你
回忆不断缠绕着脆弱的灵魂
仿佛这时间冻结所有的心间
但愿你能前往
追随你想要的世界
知道你永远在这里
陪伴着不曾离去
跟着我们一直往前走下去
你知道我很爱你
永远在我的心底
让所有悲伤化作成最美丽的旋律
也把所有对你的记忆
埋藏在我心头
这首歌代表我真的好想你
真的好想你
The lyrics to A-Lin's song "Purple Rain" describe a person left behind by a loved one who has passed away, and the pain and longing that ensues. The singer addresses the person directly and wonders if they can see how much they are missed, even though they are gone. The title "Purple Rain" is used to describe the beauty and sadness of the situation, as well as the sense of loss and uncertainty that accompanies it. However, despite the pain, the singer declares their love for the person and vows to keep them in their heart and memories always.
The imagery in the lyrics is very powerful and emotive, with phrases like "微笑的脸如此明显" (a smiling face so clear) and "让所有悲伤化作成最美丽的旋律" (let all sadness become the most beautiful melody) capturing the sadness, beauty, and hopefulness of the song. The use of repetition, particularly in the chorus, adds to the sense of longing and desire to be reunited with the person who has passed away.
