Album
The album was marketed with the "拼什麼" (What Am I Fighting For) track, which was rather unconventional, as he often markets an album through a dance piece. The music video for the second lead track "獨一無二" (Only You) was released nine days later. The video consists of dance piece choreographed by Shaun Evaristo. It was reported to have costed NT$5 million to create European scenery and to debut the "Anti-Gravity filming technique".[4]

The album debuted at number one on Taiwan's G-Music Top 20 Weekly Mandarin and Combo Charts, and Five Music Chart at week 8 (18 to 24 February 2011) with a percentage sales of 74.6%,[5] 48.43%[6] and 78.8%[7] respectively. Suppressing fellow artist Jolin Tsai's record at G-Music Mandarin Chart of 68.11% for Butterfly in 2009 and became the highest debut week percentage sales in the chart's seven-year history.
