His early lyrics include Softhard’s “非常口”. Work with singers including Amanda Lee, Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung, Joey Yung and Kay Tse helped establish his writing voice. In 2012, the six-night “Concert YY” at the Hong Kong Coliseum brought many performers together around his lyrics.
Representative lyrics include Eason Chan’s “最佳損友”, Kay Tse’s “囍帖街” and Justin Lo’s “命硬”, composed respectively by Eric Kwok, Eric Kwok and Justin Lo. The songs explore estranged friendship, loss and renewal through disappearing streets and homes, and love persisting against opposition.
He also develops connected song sequences. Eason Chan’s “葡萄成熟時”, “人車誌”, “沙龍” and “陀飛輪” use wine, cars, photography and watches to consider growth, relationships and time. In interviews, Wong has described his dislike of repeating what others have done and his search for a different angle on familiar emotions.
Karen and Mag Lam sang the Cantonese “洋蔥” for the 2015 promotion of “勁金歌曲3”. Wyman wrote its lyrics and 馮正 composed it; their version was arranged by 張人傑 and produced by Chiu Tsang Hei. Originally sung by Miriam Yeung, it is a different song from the Mandarin “洋蔥” sung by Aska Yang and written by Ashin.
