“Face yourself honestly at 100% and you will eventually receive love and sincerity.”
“Music is my centripetal force. Follow it and you can find me.”

Jolin keeps asking questions in this album, exploring her own heart, she hugs her own dark and ugly face.
“Emotion has been labeled as ugly, but is that true? This time, I want to open all the ugliness behind the perfect surface. Spying on the emotions that I have tried my best to bury. Terror, truth and fragile stories. Ugly beauty, perfection is not equal to all.”

Jolin tried a new creative mode to write music. Besides Taipei, she went to Bangkok and Stockholm, mobilizing almost 100 musicians.
After experiencing a week with musicians from all over the world, she participated in the creation of six songs in one go: “Working with different creative camps, gives me lots of motivation, we can talk about music creation together, use different language to express what you want, in addition to being very enjoyable, it was pretty fun, the work should make everyone feel as much as I feel.”

In recent years, Jolin, who is interested in psychology, explored her inner world and herself through the book of Jung, a psychologist. Jolin said: “If I was not at 100% before, I would blame myself. I would think I was “not worth mentioning”. The UGLY face for me is part of an emotion. When you start to face it, the feedback you get is very good, more love and empathy.”

In order to match the theme of the 11 new songs of the new album, she created 11 sets of UGLY BEAUTY styles, 11 scenes and 11 different characters. She said: “Split personality, but it is very cool.”

Jolin spent NT$5,000,000 (143 051 € or USD$162,037) for the first MV shooting, Sandy Lam was shooting in the same location (Arrow Studio in Taipei).
They closed the door of their respective studios to avoid song leaks.
This MV shooting lasted 3 days: Jolin worked hard, merely took breaks, and could sleep less than 3 hours a day.
Her staff’s strong support gave her a fighting spirit.
