"The Spirit of Knight" (Chinese: 騎士精神; pinyin: Qíshì jīngshén) is a song recorded by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai for her fifth studio album, Magic (2003).[1] The track was written by Tsai, with composition and production by Jay Chou. It served as the theme song for the Tourism Authority of Thailand's campaign "Amazing Thailand: Siamese Style" and was released as a single on July 23, 2002, by Sony.[2]

Background

[edit]

In January 2002, media outlets reported that Tsai was preparing material for a new album and speculated that she would sign with Sony.[3] On April 5, 2002, further reports indicated that the album was expected to be released in September and that Tsai might collaborate with management company Mars.[4] On April 23, 2002, Tsai officially signed a recording contract with Sony.[5]

Composition

[edit]

"The Spirit of Knight" features lyrics written by Tsai, expressing a young woman's longing for protection and emotional resilience.[2] The recording process reportedly took three days to complete. Jay Chou stated that his intention was to help Tsai move beyond her established "sweetheart idol" image by introducing hip-hop and rap elements, thereby expanding her musical style and artistic versatility.[6]
