Where I’m From

This song takes me back down memory lane when I was living in my beloved hometown in Xiamen, China. It talks about my journey of moving from Xiamen to Hong Kong and how no matter where I am, I will be always grateful for who I am and where I am now. I wanted to explore my identity by writing about memories of my childhood that I remember most fondly and those that shape who I am today. The most genuine, fascinating memories lie as a child and the origins of who I am carry me forward. At the same time, this song is also dedicated to my parents who sacrificed much of their time and left their homes and business in order to provide me and my sister a better future. While this song is personal at heart, I want to dedicate this song to the many migrants in the world who share similar experiences and feelings, that of homesickness but also gratefulness for having gotten to where we are today.
