This album gathers JJ Lin Junjie’s understanding of life in the past few years. JJ, who has been out for 20 years, takes "reclaiming his original intention" as the main axis, retrieves the definition of "happiness" in everyone’s heart, and returns to purity; although there is no answer yet, the answer has slowly emerged on the way to search. Some works in "Reclaiming _ Happily, Painfully After", and even the experiences written by JJ Lin Junjie during the JJ20 tour, show that he has never stopped thinking and exploring everything around him, and the people and things in life are the inspiration for his music creation. The first wave of the album’s title "Wish and Worry DustandAshes" MV was also launched with the album. The song explains the "wishes" and "sorrows" in the human world. It is the most representative song of JJ’s view of the current state of the world in recent years. The topic of discussion seems to be macroscopic but delicate at the same time. JJ shared: "This song is roughly about’love ‘, looking at the meaning of human existence from a cosmic and scientific perspective; but in magnification, it is actually exploring the’love’ between everyone, because with time, all things become more precious."
The MV invited the director of the gold award, Huang Zhongping, to direct the story. The story describes two girls of the same age who grew up together since childhood, experiencing youth and beauty, but suddenly facing an irreversible turning point in life. One of the girls died as a result, and the rest of her life was like a long time in the dark. Until one day, the family of the girl decided to leave her love to the world and donate her heart and organs to another person in the world. The re-beating heart is like a continuation of love. JJ is like an introducer in the MV, playing the piano to hold the emotions of the story to the heartstrings and touch the depths of everyone’s soul.
The album’s "Lonely Entertainment Happily, Painfully After" is a song that runs through the entire album. The MV invites Chen Yingrong, who has been cooperating for many years, to direct and star Li Chengbin. The MV presents the loneliness in the song, and everyone in the shot is like an island. Li Chengbin perfectly interprets the state that seems lively in the crowd, but the heart seems lonely, which makes JJ look moved. Chen Yingrong also praised JJ as a very sympathetic singer who can always write encouraging songs. JJ shared that the song was written when he was going through a low ebb. The song was originally written to heal himself, but after completion, he found that the song actually brought strength to many people. He mentioned: "When you grow up, you will begin to cherish and understand that what doesn’t necessarily look bad must be bad. To achieve true understanding and happiness in life, you must first experience pain. Many things are relative. Without darkness, you will not recognize light." The MV has been launched on major platforms.
