Overview

Background

In Summer 2018 (May- Mid June), Youku (Alibaba Entertainment) produced a TV show called "Women in Shanghai". Our job was to create a theme song that highly related to the story and engage the audience. Our low budget limits the big production but challenged us to tell the story in our own words and really touch people. The objective was to write a song based on real UGC.
