Super Vocal, a male vocal ensemble who rose to fame with the Hunan Satellite TV Station's reality show of the same name in 2018, released a new single, To You, in dedication to the people on the front line fighting against COVID-19 as well as to comfort those who are suffering from the disease.

The quartet of four classically trained young Chinese singers -- Cai Chengyu, Tong Zhuo, Gao Tianhe and Ju Hongchuan -- recorded the song in Beijing and Shanghai, With lyrics by Sun Haini and music composed by Ju, the song, displaying their bel canto techniques, was produced by Arai Soichiro.

"We wrote the song within three hours and we hope that the listeners will feel the warmth and strength with our music," said Ju, 27, who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.

"During these difficult days, we want to encourage people with our voices and that's what we could do now," added Cai, 21, who is a student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Because of the viral outbreak, the ensemble has slowed down their schedules. "It is an opportunity to reflect upon ourselves since we used to be very busy," said Gao, 27, who graduated from the Tianjin Conservatory of Music.

"I am looking forward to the end of the outbreak. I want to hang out with my friends and get busy," said Tong, 26, who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.
