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.

S.H.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have a heart but I cannot feel anything
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
I got a mouth but it doesn't say
The things I want it to say today, anyway
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess The angry souls in such distress
Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone
Most of the time, actually, I am alone
That's alright
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'Cause my soul's always climbing a ladder
Oh, I know
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress
Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Alright
The lyrics of this song express a sense of emptiness and indifference towards life despite having all the necessary physical abilities. The singer suggests that even though they possess the basic sensory organs such as eyes and heart, they are unable to see or feel anything significant. In the same vein, even though the singer has a mouth, they cannot express what they truly want to say.
The lines "Don't give up now, I'm almost there" may signify a glimmer of hope, implying that the singer is not entirely defeated or resigned to their situation. The song touches on the dualities of life, acknowledging that while it may seem like an "ugly mess" with many people spiraling in anger and despair, there are also sweet moments to be found. These moments could suggest moments of personal triumph or simply moments of joy that bring moments of connection to others or the divine.
The repetition of "Don't give up now, I'm almost there" serves as a powerful reminder that despite the struggle and the feeling of being alone, the singer has not given up and is still seeking for a change. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note with the line "Oh, I know" suggesting a sense of resignation yet defiance at the same time.
