Lede: Hong Kong singer-songwriter Constance has released her latest single, I Really Like It!, a track co-written with Eason YH Chan and featuring lyrics by Serrini. The song captures the bittersweet thrill of a romantic “almost-relationship,” drawing directly from Constance’s personal experiences. To bring the song’s narrative to life, she embraced a rebellious on-screen persona in a music video shot under typhoon conditions in Japan.
A Personal Song, A Bold Collaboration
Constance describes I Really Like It! as a deeply personal project. She co-wrote the melody with Eason YH Chan, then turned to acclaimed lyricist Serrini to shape the words. “I really admire Serrini’s work,” Constance said in a statement. “I especially love her straightforward way of expressing things. The lyrics she wrote matched my thoughts and feelings perfectly. I’m very grateful to her.”
The result is a track that distills the most memorable emotions of a flirtatious, undefined relationship into an upbeat, honest pop song.
Behind the Scenes: Typhoons and a ‘Bad Girl’ Role
The music video for I Really Like It! follows a couple escaping the noise and stress of city life, chasing love on a road trip. The production team traveled to Atami, a coastal city in Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, for filming. However, the shoot faced unexpected challenges: unstable weather brought a typhoon and heavy rain. Despite the conditions, the crew managed to complete the video.
In a departure from her usual style, Constance plays a mischievous “bad girl” throughout the video. “I really let loose this time,” she admitted. “Many of the things I did in the video are things I would never do in Hong Kong. I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. I’m usually more conservative, but this time I had to be naughty and cause trouble.”
First On-Screen Chemistry with a Co-Star
The project also marked Constance’s first time acting opposite a male lead in a music video. She acknowledged initial awkwardness and nervousness. “Having to act close and create a couple’s chemistry with a male lead in a short time requires communication and warming up,” she explained. “He was very professional, and I think my acting has improved a bit.”
When asked about the most memorable scene, Constance pointed to a dance sequence set inside a tunnel. “The lights were shining directly at us from the front, so we could barely see where we were going,” she recalled. “But we still had to perfectly coordinate our steps and movements, and do it all naturally and calmly.”
Broader Impact and Next Steps
With I Really Like It!, Constance signals a clear artistic evolution—moving from safer musical territory toward bolder storytelling and visual expression. By collaborating with a respected lyricist like Serrini and taking creative risks on set, she is carving out a more authentic and adventurous identity in the Cantopop scene. Fans can expect this new, uncompromising energy to carry into her future projects. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
