I wrote this song the very first time I went to Hong Kong in 2018. My late mother, Wei Wun Yu was born there but we never visited this vibrant place together. As I wandered through neighbourhoods, her presence was always there, I would see her for a split second before realising it wasn’t her and she’d vanish again. The feeling that we are all connected and we can see ourselves in each other; a state of inter-being was a sad but also comforting thought.
Together with director @biekedepoorter I went back to Hong Kong once more. She was very sensitive towards my relationship with this city, how I wanted to connect with people, what this journey meant to me and how this translated into my music. Her visual language is the perfect fit for this song.
100% 50% completely half on my behalf
This is the first video and single taken from my full album “Letter To Yu” that I dedicate to my mother.
It was written in Hong Kong and came to full fruition in Belgium.

Still can’t believe this dream became reality. My grandparents left China for Belgium to build a new life, and because of their sacrifices, I’m living mine to the fullest. This time, I traced their journey in reverse—bringing my music back to their homeland with my sister by my side. A full-circle moment I’ll carry with me forever.
