A Day of Jay Chou

For Jay Chou, it’s hard to imagine that 24 hours is enough to manage all of his different duties. “I have so many roles. I’m a singer, mentor, director; I’m a son, husband,” Jay tells Apple Music. He’s also a devoted father: “I often remind myself and my fans that family is the most important asset in life.” Despite running behind the clock, Jay still manages to plunge into his creativity, inspire young talent and probably make another short video for his Batmobile. As Apple Music’s Guest Curator, Jay curated a series of four playlists for hustling in hectic times. Now, they’ve all been packaged into one. Daydreaming (From “牛仔很忙” to “公公偏頭痛”) Without surprise, a perfect routine starts by daydreaming. “Often, late at night or when I’m working...I imagine myself with superpowers. There’s nothing I can’t do,” says Jay. He dreams of wild adventures, time machines or even legendary poets, you name it. “I even imagine mermaids, Li Bai and cowboys teaming up and travelling through a magic portal for a walk on the moon! Try this, too—see the humorous side, and you’ll find music can add so much fun to life!” Don’t miss out on mischievous K-pop by EXID and Crayon Pop that adds some glitter to the pop king’s tastes. Workout Time (From “鬥牛” to “龜兔賽跑”) When the clock reminds us to put in some hard work, nothing is more relieving than getting some sweat out for the body and soul. Jay reminds us, “Don’t slouch on the couch. Whether it’s a race or a long walk, a game with your mates, even a bit of boxing…stay active to give yourself energy and be strong.” Who doesn’t get pumped when they hear Daft Punk, Shakira and Sia? This playlist will power you up. Game Time (From “英雄” to “我想再唱起歌”) Just like any other guy, Jay Chou is always thrilled about gaming. “Some of my inspiration comes from the gaming world,” he says. “For me, a good game is like good music—it’s full of creativity and lets you momentarily escape reality and unwind. Whatever you’re doing—roleplaying online, battling or car racing, even just scribbling and painting or sitting down to a game of chess—I hope you’ll have fun roaming the gaming world with my playlist!” Anthems by Rihanna and prodigy producer Pharrell Williams deliver a kick of contagious bass and beats. Cruise through limitless fantasies by immersing yourself in hits by iconic stars like Coco Lee, Jolin Tsai and Vivian Hsu. Family Time (From “聽媽媽的話” to “Irreplaceable”) As we count down to the end of the day, let’s not forget about our family and loved ones amidst the fun. “You are your family’s treasure. They are the Band-Aid for when you’re hurt; they’re your harbour in the storm,” says Jay, who puts his family before everything else. “When was the last time you went home and the last time you hugged them? Tell them how much you love them the first chance you get!” Mark a perfect ending to your day by turning down for some slow jams dedicated to intimacy and love.
