"Bubble" (Chinese: 泡沫; pinyin: Pàomò) is a song recorded by Chinese-Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M., released on 14 October 2012[1] as one of the singles from her third studio album Xposed (2012). The song surged in popularity after she performed it during season two of I Am a Singer in China in 2014.[2] It garnered over 100 million streams on Xiami Music[3] and over 50 million views on YouTube.[1][4]
Background and development
[edit]In an interview, G.E.M. said the song was written after her breakup. She felt depressed and escaped to New York City to stay for a week. One day, she walked down a crowded street and saw some clowns blowing bubbles. It was a beautiful scene but in her eyes, although the bubbles were beautiful, they were also fragile.[5]
Music video and live performances
[edit]The music video for "Bubble" was directed by Tan Chang.[6] With "Bubble" being one of G.E.M.'s most popular and acclaimed songs, she has performed it several times, such as on the first episode of I Am a Singer (season 2)[7] and on her world tours.
