"Give Love" (Chinese: 讓愛傳出去; pinyin: Ràng ài chuán chūqù) is a song by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. Written by Hung Yu-tung and produced by Howe Chen, the track was released as a single on May 12, 2017, by Eternal. It served as the theme song for Da Ai Television's "1+1, You & Me" campaign.[1]
Background
On May 10, 2017, ahead of Mother's Day, Da Ai Television launched the "1+1, You & Me" campaign through its official Facebook page. The campaign encouraged people to upload family photos accompanied by messages of gratitude. Tsai was announced as the artist for the campaign's theme song, and the submitted photos would be featured in the song's music video.
Composition and recording
Originally, "Give Love" was the theme song for Da Ai Television's 2004 TV series Give Love, performed by Lin Mei and the Jit Sin Children's Choir. The original track, known for its graceful lyrics and pop-influenced melody, was later adapted into an English-language version that circulated internationally.
For the 2017 version, Tsai invited Howe Chen to rearrange the song. Tsai spent several days recording the track in the studio, where Chen created two versions of the song: one with a warm and heartfelt tone, and another more lighthearted. Tsai entrusted her mother with choosing the final version. After listening to both, her mother selected the warmer arrangement, describing it as "touching and full of feeling".[2]
Release
On May 12, 2017, Tsai released "Give Love" as part of the "1+1, You & Me" campaign, dedicating the track to all mothers.[3] She explained that earlier in the year, she attended an event dedicated to Syrian refugees, where young Tzu Chi volunteers performed a children's version of the song. Inspired by this, Tsai decided to participate in the project, hoping to spread a message of care, compassion, and love.[4]
On May 14, 2017, Tsai released a lyric video for the song.[3] Shortly after, Da Ai Television released 18 photo-based versions of the music video on May 18, featuring the family photos submitted by the public during the campaign.
