依然愛你

The signature ballad of Lee-Hom's greatest-hits era, and one he built specifically to sound like the summation of a decade. "依然愛你" opens on solo piano with a lot of air around it, then adds strings and a slow-swelling rhythm section that never quite tips into power-ballad excess; the mix keeps the voice forward, so every breath and consonant is audible. His singing is unusually plain here — he resists the melisma and upper-register showboating available to him, and the effect is a man stating a fact rather than performing an emotion. The lyric's premise is quiet and unfashionable: love that has survived long enough to become unremarkable, still love. Time passes, faces change, and the "still" of the title does all the work. Released as the new track anchoring his 火力全開 retrospective, it became the default Chinese-language wedding song of the 2010s across Taiwan, mainland China, and Chinese communities abroad, and Lee-Hom performed it at his own wedding-adjacent public moments, folding biography into the song's reception. It works best in the specific silence after a room has emptied out — the reception ended, the chairs stacked, two people still there.
