"Whenever I'm feeling down, they never fail to make me feel loved. Spending time with them, you really see that they're really no different to us. They all have their own personalities and weaknesses that they struggle with. You can feel them when they cling onto you or when one will call out relentlessly when you're not there whereas others are chill. I like spending time with them, they make me laugh. So I guess we're no different, hence we're all cats," she says.

The original plan was to record the new album in Beijing. However, then the coronavirus pandemic hit and Dou had to record it in Hong Kong instead. That led her to find the amazing musicians that she got to work with on this record, mostly in their early 20s, just like Dou herself. Dou also collaborated with Chinese-American singer-songwriter Victor Ma on a song, titled Luv U Alien, which is about daydreaming.

The daughter of pop star Faye Wong and rock veteran Dou Wei, Dou Jingtong has lived under spotlight since childhood. Her mother, a Beijing-born singer who rose to fame after moving to Hong Kong in the late 1980s, is one of the country's best-selling female artists. Her father, a former lead vocalist of legendary Beijing rock band Black Panther, is a musical genius to China's rock lovers.

The couple's marriage ended in a divorce in 1999. Both have withdrawn from public life since.
