1. T: #赢# 这首歌由Fader One作曲,Al Rocco作词,听说#赢#这首是根据你们的真实生活为创作灵感的?Fader One composed the song and Al Rocco wrote the lyrics for #Ying. Is the song produced based on the inspirations of your guys' real life?

A&F: 每天都是赢的一天。我从每日的生活中学习,无论是小的还是大的,坏的还是好的收获。从我生活中吸取最好的事物:我的兄弟,家庭,爱情,和对我真正重要的事情,从而给了我创作这首歌曲的灵感。Everyday is a winning day. We learn from everyday experiences whether if they’re big or small, bad or good. Taking the best things in life; brotherhood, family, love, and the real things that truly matter, gave us the inspiration to write this song. 

2. T: Rocco, 这是你第一次尝试唱这么多中文歌词的音乐,这对你来说是不是也是一个winning moment呢?😏 You are from America, so this is the first time that you write and sing the Chinese lyrics. Is this also a winning moment for you? 

A: 这是我的首支双语歌曲。#Ying #赢#绝对能表达出真正赢家的意义。这次机会使我能够挑战自己多方面的能力,也使我更进一步了解了自己的中国根源。所以,十分感谢红八室的家人们给了这次难能宝贵的机会。This is my first Bilingual song and I definitely feel #Ying #赢# is a true winner. It has been a good challenge for me to test the versatility in my skills and it has also brought me closer to my Chinese roots. With that being said, I appreciate the Red8 family for this golden opportunity.
