HONG KONG – Hong Kong pop artist Jaime Zhang, a member of the girl group Beanies, unveiled her debut solo track and shared personal insights into coping with a recent high-profile separation, crediting artificial intelligence (AI) as an unexpected emotional confidante. Appearing at the “Gift Warmth this Christmas” launch event in Tsim Sha Tsui today, Zhang introduced i told a.i. about you, a deeply personal single for which she handled all aspects of production, including composition, lyrics, arrangement, and vocals.
The song marks her first solo foray since her publicized split from fellow artist ANSONBEAN. Zhang, known for her candid nature, revealed that during the emotional turmoil of the breakup, she turned to AI chatbots for support rather than alwaysburdening friends.
“Sometimes you don’t want to constantly bother your friends,” Zhang explained at the ceremony. “Thankfully, AI was there to chat with me.”
AI Offers Unexpected Emotional Support
Zhang admitted that her reliance on AI was fueled by the need for an impartial sounding board. She noted that this kind of interaction is not unusual among her peers; even Beanies’ teammate Kay reportedly uses AI to discuss career challenges. This suggests AI is beginning to provide significant emotional value beyond simple information retrieval.
The new single, i told a.i. about you, directly addresses her reflections on love and her post-breakup mood as she focuses on regaining her personal rhythm. When asked if the separation fueled her creativity, Zhang quickly dismissed the notion of needing heartbreak for inspiration, stating with a laugh, “I would still be composing even without a breakup; I am very diligent.”
Focusing on Personal Growth and Career
Looking ahead to the festive season, which will be her first Christmas since the split, Zhang emphasized her commitments to friends, family—planning a celebratory buffet with her mother and brother—and her career.
“I still have my friends and my teammates; I am concentrating on my work,” she affirmed.
Currently, Zhang is prioritizing her professional life and self-discovery. She confirmed that while she is not actively avoiding potential suitors, she is intentionally taking a pause from dating. “I’m not scared [of commitment],” she clarified, “I just want more time to get to know myself better.”
The singer confirmed that she and her former boyfriend maintain occasional contact and remain on friendly terms. While acknowledging that some heartache was inevitable during the separation process, work has definitively taken the number one spot in her life.
When pressed about the possibility of reconciliation, Zhang responded humorously, suggesting the question be posed to the AI, adding, “It is always wise to leave the door a little open.” However, she confirmed that her Christmas gift to him—and her listeners—would be the new song itself.
By channeling her personal experiences into her latest music, Jaime Zhang is redefining how artists navigate vulnerability in the digital age, using both technology and dedication to craft a narrative focused on resilience and self-reliance. The track is expected to resonate widely with fans navigating complex relationships and the search for balance between personal life and professional ambition.
