The track "You Are a Song in My Heart" (你是我心内的一首歌), a duet with Selina of S.H.E, won one of the "Top 10 Songs of the Year" at the 2008 HITO Radio Music Awards.

About the album
Through this album, Leehom promotes the idea of global awareness in the environment and social awareness as well. In the title track, "Change Me" (改變自己), he sings that single individuals have the power to make a difference in the world and each difference can make the world a better place. The album was printed on recycled paper, contained minimal amount of plastics, and includes a page in the liner notes listing ten things ordinary listeners can do to save the environment. Some album editions also include limited edition Leehom's chopsticks with a small tote bag, encouraging listeners to use these reusable chopsticks instead of wasting the disposable wooden chopsticks found in many restaurants.
Inspired by Ang Lee's Lust, Caution, in which he played the role of Kuang Yu Min, Leehom composed "Falling Leaf Returns to Root" (落葉歸根). The composer of "Falling Leaf Returns to Root" is listed in his album as Kuang Yu Min instead of Leehom Wang. This album also features a duet with S.H.E's Selina Jen, "You Are the Song in My Heart", that sees Leehom singing in the Taiwanese dialect for the first time.
