Background and release

[edit]

My Fairytale was conceived out of G.E.M.'s realization of her musical aspirations. The melody weaves a tale of love and explores various interpretations of a fairytale. She shared with Billboard Radio China that "Life isn't exactly a fairytale", adding that "This new EP depicts my fairytale that I found in the real world."[1]

G.E.M.'s long-time producer Lupo Groinig told Billboard Radio China, "This release marks our 10-year anniversary working together. The new songs really showcase how far she has come as an artist and songwriter."[1] The cover artwork of the EP was designed by Canadian illustrator Giselle Ukardi.[1]

Singles

[edit]

"Tik Tok" tells the story of "infinite love throughout life". The music video for the song was shot in Inner Mongolia, China.[1]
