In 2000, Jen, Tian and Chen signed up for a singing contest, and the winner, Ren, was awarded a record contract. Tian and Chen, who were both finalists, joined Ren to form S.H.E. The trio frequently covers songs by other artists, and performs original compositions. The group produces albums under the HIM International Music label. Avex Asia distributed S.H.E's music in Hong Kong, but transferred this role to WOW Music in 2007. EMI Music China is the distributor in Singapore and the People's Republic of China.

你 趁我討論未來
努力看著螢幕發呆 很忙碌在轉台
你趁我感冒鼻塞
責怪昨天我的裙擺 怎麼高過膝蓋
不能忍受我說偶像帥(太奇怪)
卻喜歡我做作裝可愛(太無奈 想不開)
不認真聽我的對白
不懂我每個月 心情會固定變壞
＊不然你來 當一天女孩
親身經歷了解我為什麼開懷
每滴淚的來龍去脈
愛我所愛 懂我的悲哀
公平地談一場平凡的戀愛
如果你是女孩
You be the girl girl
girl girl girl girl girl
You be the girl girl
來 看我選的頻道
陪我聊天讓我依靠 愛我的姊妹淘
來 模擬我的人生
重複我的呼吸心跳 明白我的需要
又要溫柔寬容有大愛(太奇怪)
又要應付男朋友耍賴(太無奈 想不開)
親愛的別置身事外
可不可以趁現在 假裝自己是女孩
Repeat ＊
如果我是你 我會注意
每個女孩 都是藝術品 都該捧在手心
如果我是你 我一定加倍細心
不會吝嗇每一天 都說我愛你
＃不然你來 當一天女孩
親身經歷了解我為什麼開懷
每滴淚的來龍去脈
愛我所愛 懂我的悲哀
公平地談一場平凡的戀愛
如果你是女孩
Repeat ＃
The lyrics to S.H.E's song "如果你是女孩" (If You Were a Girl) express the desire for understanding and empathy from a romantic partner. The singer addresses her male partner, urging him to pay attention to her interests and to try to understand what it's like to be a girl. She expresses frustration that he doesn't take her seriously and often criticizes her, and muses on how different things might be if he were in her shoes.
The first verse describes the singer's partner catching her at a moment when she's preoccupied with her future, and how he distracts her from her thoughts with the TV, while also criticizing her clothing. The second verse lists some of the expectations placed on her as a girlfriend--to be cute and demure but also strong and accommodating--and invites her partner to imagine what it would be like to be in her position. The chorus repeats the invitation to swap roles, with the singer suggesting that if he were a girl, he might better understand her needs and emotions. The bridge emphasizes the importance of treating all girls with respect and love, and finishes with a final chorus.
Overall, "如果你是女孩" is a touching and relatable song that taps into some of the challenges of relationships where one partner may not fully understand the other's experiences or feelings. It's a powerful reminder to be empathetic and attentive to those we care about.
