Album

"牛仔很忙" (Cowboy On The Run) is a country track, as Chou stated that he wanted to try something new. The literal translation is Cowboy is Busy. This track also illustrates the theme for the album cover and it reflects some things in Chou's real life. Also, one particular phrase in the chorus is inspired by Gwei Lun-mei, who starred opposite Chou in the movie, Secret.

Several tracks used the melodies of instrumental tracks from the Secret Original Soundtrack: "First Kiss" for "彩虹" (Rainbow) and "蒲公英的約定" (Dandelion's Promise) used the melodies of "小雨寫立可白Ⅰ" (Xiaoyu's Theme I) and "路小雨" (Lu Xiaoyu). The track "無雙" (Unparalleled) is the theme song for video game Dynasty Warriors Online in Taiwan.

The music video for "我不配" (I'm Not Worthy) features Taiwanese actress Alice Tzeng, who co-starred with Chou in Secret. "青花瓷" (Blue and White Porcelain) refers to antique Chinese porcelain. Its literal translation is Blue Flower Pot. The music video features Taiwanese actor Baron Chen, who co-starred with Chou in Kung Fu Dunk.

Reception

The tracks "牛仔很忙" (Cowboy On The Run), "彩虹" (Rainbow) and "陽光宅男" (Sunshine Nerd) are listed at number 11, 28 and 59 respectively on Hit Fm Taiwan's Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles Chart (Hit-Fm年度百首單曲) for 2010.

The album was awarded one of the Top 10 Selling Mandarin Albums of the Year at the 2007 IFPI Hong Kong Album Sales Awards, presented by the Hong Kong branch of IFPI.
