[edit] Facts

Daniel's debut album is the first of its kind for a Malaysian Chinese singer, consisting of songs in 3 languages widely spoken in Malaysia. The first 8 songs are in Mandarin, while the 9th and last songs are in English and Malay respectively. It is believed to be the very first Mandarin album to include romanized Pinyin lyrics for those whose native tongue is not Mandarin.

Fly 飛 is the Mandarin version of the last and only Malay song in the album, Mimpi. The latter song was sung by Daniel himself during the Grand Finale of Malaysian Idol 2.

Heaven Knows is an existing English song sung by Rick Price. It is also one of the three songs sung by Daniel during the Grand Finale of Malaysian Idol 2, aside Mimpi and Angin Malam (Angin Malam is recorded in Daniel's 2nd album Unavoidable 躲不過.

Within six months of release of the album, it sold at more than 25,000 copies, thereby reaching platinum status, resulting in the production of a celebration edition, Daniel Celebration Edition 慶功收藏版, containing MVs of 4 of his songs and a mini photo album of himself in various dressing styles.
