The lessons were apparently effective, as producers started taking notice of Cheng’s voice and he was signed to a recording contract soon thereafter. Cheng first shot to popularity in Taiwan before returning home and enjoying some success in Hong Kong. However, his singing career went into a lull from 2000 to 2003 due to the infamous “air rage incident” and has only recently rebounded.
Cheng returned to the Cantopop market in 2003, however success for him did not arrive until 2005, where his signature song "無賴" (Rascal) was voted one of the Top 10 songs at various music award shows, notably TVB's Jade Solid Gold, where it was voted the most popular song of 2005.

每一次我见到你心跳都会加快
BE MY Valentine
我还是不知道手应该往哪里摆

Overall Meaning

The song "Valentine" by Ronald Cheng is a love song that expresses the singer's desire for the person he loves to be his Valentine. The opening lines, "Every time I see you, my heart beats faster. Be my Valentine. I still don't know where to put my hands. Would you be my Valentine," show the singer's nervousness and uncertainty in expressing his feelings. He finds his love interest adorable when they laugh at his jokes, and he wants to protect them from harm.

The chorus repeats the request for the person to be the singer's Valentine and the willingness of the singer to love and protect them. The line "Let love open your heart" suggests that the singer believes love will bring happiness and freedom from loneliness and sadness. He wants his love interest to know that he is sincere and honest in his feelings and that he has been lonely without them. The final line of the chorus, "Come in with a smile on your face," shows the singer's eagerness to welcome the person into his life.

The song captures the vulnerability and tenderness of a person in love, and the desire for their love interest to reciprocate their feelings. It portrays the conflicting emotions of hope and fear that accompany falling in love, and the willingness to take the risk of rejection for the possibility of happiness.
