Jackie Chan had vocal lessons whilst at the Peking Opera School in his childhood. He began producing records professionally in the 1980s and has gone on to become a successful singer in Hong Kong and Asia.
He has released 20 albums since 1984 and has performed vocals in Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Taiwanese and English. He often sings the theme songs of his films, which play over the closing credits. Chan's first musical recording was "Kung Fu Fighting Man", the theme song played over the closing credits of The Young Master (1980). At least 10 of these recordings have been released on soundtrack albums for the films. His cantonese song Story of a Hero (英雄故事) (theme song of Police Story) was selected by the Royal Hong Kong Police and incorporated into their recruitment advertisement in 1994.
Chan voiced the character of Shang in the Chinese release of the Walt Disney animated feature, Mulan (1998). He also performed the song "I'll Make a Man Out of You", for the film's soundtrack. For the US release, the speaking voice was performed by B.D. Wong and the singing voice was done by Donny Osmond.
In 2007, Chan recorded and released the song "We Are Ready", the official one-year countdown song to the 2008 Summer Olympics. He performed the song at a ceremony marking the one-year countdown to the 2008 Summer Paralympics. The day before the Beijing Olympics opened, Chan released one of the two official Olympics albums, Official Album for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games - Jackie Chan's Version, which featured a number of special guest appearances. Chan, along with Andy Lau, Liu Huan and Wakin (Emil) Chau, performed "Hard to Say Goodbye", the farewell song for the 2008 Summer Olympics closing ceremony.
Love Me
Jackie Chan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're too good to be true
Who could imagine
There'd be someone like you
So near perfection
It's hard to believe
All I've ever wanted
All I'll ever need
Somewhere in heaven
Where the heart's ever free
I know the angels
Keep a watch over me
For they have sent me
An angel like you
Are you an illusion
Am I just a fool
Show me, show me what to do
Love me, oh darling
Thrill me through the night
Love me, oh darling
Till the morning light
Love me, oh love me
Promise you'll be mine forevermore
Love me, oh love me
Hold me close and never, never let me go
And please don't break me
If you're only a dream
I couldn't take it
Being lonely again
Stay here beside me
As long as you can
Take me in your arms
And love me
Your eyes amaze me
With the sweet things they say
And when you touch me
Oh it takes my breath away
Your love can save me
From all that I am
With your love to guide me
I'm a better man
Show me, show me once again
The lyrics of Jackie Chan's song "Love Me" describe the singer's disbelief at finding someone so perfect and wonderful, and his fear of losing them. The song seems to be addressed directly to his lover, as he seeks assurance of their love and commitment, and asks for their guidance on how to keep their relationship strong. The imagery of angels and heaven suggests a spiritual dimension to their love, as if it is something that has been destined to be.
The opening lines of the song signal the singer's disbelief at his good fortune. He feels like he must be dreaming, that his lover is "too good to be true." He marvels at their near perfection, and admits that it's hard to believe that he could have found someone so wonderful. The reference to heaven and angels suggests that he sees his love as a kind of divine gift, and that he feels blessed to have found someone so perfect for him. However, he also acknowledges that his fear of losing this love is a constant presence in his life, which is why he pleads "Love me, oh love me, promise you'll be mine forevermore."
In the remaining verses, the singer celebrates his lover's physical beauty and emotional warmth, and expresses his desire to be close to them always. The refrain repeats the heartfelt plea to love him and never let him go. Overall, the song is a tender and romantic expression of love and commitment, rooted in a sense of wonder and gratitude at finding someone so precious.

Fun facts:
Love me was produced by Jackie chan And Written by Toshiki Kadomatsu Yes the actual toshiki of city pop.
Both Jackie and toshiki are fans of each other’s works . When Jackie Chan was making an album Toshiki dearly asked Jackie if he could write him a song, thus love me was made.
Toshiki had also given Jackie a lyrical book of Love me called : Will you wait for me? :https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7WHFJdUCjus
