The other party suggested that it would be better to start from the first love of a child.

He asked me to fill in the English lyrics, so he filled in "The Rocky Road" in the nature of playing. This is actually the name of chocolate that I love to eat. The song means how to overcome the journey of Qishima in life to achieve success. I decided not to become famous because I wrote a song before ("I am so happy in my heart") and was rejected in the same competition in the same year (he was still in the "Bang Bang New Inspiration" program), I was so angry, so I didn't sign up for my name. As a result, Danny won the third place. I watched it on the spot and was very happy for him. "

- Danny Chan once revealed that this song was written by his friend. He was very frustrated when he saw his friend hanging up the phone by his girlfriend. Seeing that his friend was so depressed, he decided to write a song for him to sing. The phone conversation part of the song before
- is Tan Guoji's idea, which means that when the phone is hung up, the boy's tears flow down.
- Regarding the cover of "Tears for You", friend Sansanna Huang Ziqun revealed that Danny had asked her to wear school uniform to take a picture of her back in the cafe, but she was unwilling.
- Zheng Guojiang revealed that at the beginning of writing the lyrics, Chen Baiqiang once wrote half of the lyrics, and the song title was "Lonely Goose". But I don't know if Zheng Sheng confused it with another song "Lonely Goose".
- Danny Chan was able to sign EMI to become a singer thanks to his agents Tan Guoji and Luo Wen . At that time, EMI intends to dig up superstar Luo Wen from entertainment records, but he has no interest in Danny Chan. As the agent of Ronaldo and Danny Chan, Tan Guoji, who has tied up Luo Wen to Danny Chan to sign EMI through the file, and the two completed the signing.
- Zheng Guojiang once revealed: "Early EMI was the weakest among the four major foreign record companies, and some people even gave it a bad nickname "Record Tomb" or "Singer Tomb". In that year, EMI worked hard to discover Rowen's archives EMI in order to gain its position in the record industry.
At that time, EMI's administrative veteran was always Huang Kaiguang KK Wong (the originator of HK's sound development) and an excellent recording master. EMI's recording studio was the top of the equipment that year. EMI's Huang Kaiguang and his crew's recording skills were first-class. The sound they created was the most correct, so the songs recorded by the singer in the EMI recording studio are better than the songs recorded by him in other recording studios.
Luo Wen's manager, Shinji, asked EMI Records, if he successfully convinced Luo Wen to pass the EMI profile, what can Huang Kaiguang answer him? Shinji asked EMI to help him win a newcomer (Chen Baiqiang). Huang Kaiguang released the conditions at that time very well, which was the first record of the newcomer. EMI first packed all the production fees, and the newcomer's record sold a few more to EMI. Once you fail, you will also win a newcomer. ” - The English song of this record is half the English song. The way to make Chinese songs is because it was in the period when mainstream Hong Kong music was transitioning from English songs to Chinese songs. It is also because a large part of the production cost of this record was paid out of his own pocket. This way, the production can reduce the cost.
- After this disc was launched, it achieved an impressive record of five market cuts within three months.
[In 1975, Bobby Da became the music director of Hong Kong EMI Records, composer, arranger and producer for its singers. Bobby returned to school in 1978 and majored in composition and arrangement at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. After graduation, he transferred to the Dick Grove’s Workshop in Los Angeles to study film music and music industry courses. He returned to Hong Kong after graduation. - After that, Danny Chan rarely sang this song in concert because the mood of this song was too sad. He once explained: "Every time I sing this song, I can't help crying. Considering that the atmosphere on the scene is very warm, I don't want to cry. If I hadn't performed this song with my most sincere love song, I thought it was a deception of the audience, so I deleted it."
