about

Dedicated to fusing high-speed footwork to sentimental Hong Kong music, FINGERGAP's latest original track "Would You Like to Dance with Me" deliberately misplaces a complex juke rhythm on the City Pop genre that defined both Japanese and Hong Kong pop scenes in the 80s and 90s. City Pop has been in trend on the internet for the last few years; instead of replicating how chilled and laid-back the genre is, the musician attempts to capture the dancing and the carpe-diem vibe of that era.

While its Cantonese lyrics has further reinforce the subtle restlessness of the song by juxtaposing a dancing young couple to the hedonist people in the now lost bubble era, who were similarly dancing to an uncertain future, and here stamping on a joyous footwork beat of 160 BPM.

FINGERGAP is releasing a new album full of his original tracks in 2022, experimenting to present Canto-pop songwriting and sentiments on a complex and rapid footwork-inspired beats. "Would You Like to Dance with Me" serves as its second single after the previous "沒有風的國度 (City Without Wind)", which similarly re-imagines a melancholic Canto-pop as danceable juke track.

Lyrics translation:

Even though we can't have fun loudly at night
Even though there aren't a street lamp shedding light on us
We own exclusively a slice of space in the corner

Let's get used to dance without a purpose
Let's get used to the fact that we could never be the best
Having spent our whole lives chasing for something
Dancing freely feels awkward

Probably won't be able to attract anyone's gaze
Probably won't be able to catch up anyone up
In the night without good nor bad
Let's embrace the defects of each other

Probably will get lost eventually
Probably we will die at the end
The stars no longer shine at night
So let's burn harder than a firework

Even though there aren't many audience
Even though we don't want to be ordinary
We probably will wake up someday
But we would have fully had fun tonight
