李志清

A-Do’s recording of “他一定很愛你” brought wider attention to its behind-the-scenes writer. Cheng’s work is not limited to composition: sometimes he supplies both words and music, while other projects involve a writing partner. The shared lyrics of “門沒鎖” and his complete songwriting on “空氣” illustrate different ways his work reaches listeners through singers and recording teams.

Representative works include A-Do’s “他一定很愛你” and Kym Jin Sha’s “空氣”, for which he wrote both music and lyrics, and Victor Wong’s “門沒鎖”, whose lyrics he co-wrote with Rynn Lim. They range from narrative love songs to lighter pop.

His 2008 album “在135公里等我” returned songs associated with different performers to their writer’s voice, including “他一定很愛你” and “我和她她和他”, a duet with Wakin Chau. Its demo-oriented concept lets listeners compare familiar songs with the author’s delivery, offering another way into their melodies and emotions.

For Karen, he wrote the music and lyrics of “你在哪裡?”, lyrics including “鄰居” and “你笨啊你！”, and shared production duties on Malay songs including “Mulakan”.
