Ye says the concert is not just a musical journey, but also a heartfelt expression. She also says that she wants to share her growth with fans — stories of her musical journey and her personal evolution over the years. Each song will embody her reflections on time, and deeper understanding of life.

"I see each concert as a conversation," says Ye, who held her last concert in 2017 to mark the release of her fifth full-length album, In Love While Floating. "Through my music, I want to share the growth and changes I've experienced over the years."

She says that both her classic songs and newer material remain deeply connected to the emotions of that era, and offer listeners a chance to relive memories and experience the power of time through her voice.

Ye's mother was a pianist and her father an engineer. The Beijing native learned to play the piano as a child and in 1994, as a freshman at the China Conservatory of Music, she played the piano in hotel lobbies and also sang at bars. It was at a bar that she was approached by Gao Xiaosong, writer of the pop hit, My Deskmate, then sweeping the country.
