The first version I heard of My Skateboard Shoes 2016 was the version in the video above.
The first time I heard it I fell in love. I know I said that in my previous music feature haha. I guess for a song to score a feature post I must fall in love with it at first listen. Anyway, I digress.
Although I watched Hua Chen Yu rise to fame as he participated in Super Boy 2010, eventually winning the competition I was never his fan. But all that changed when I heard My Skateboard Shoes 2016 and learnt the context of how that song came to be.
This song was the viral hit of 2014/2015 for reasons I believe are clear after listening to the song.
The video above is actually the official music video which was released after the song went viral. The only aspect of the song that Hua Chen Yu did not changed was the lyrics.
My Skateboard Shoes 2016 was arguably one of the most talked about songs in the program being mentioned every so often. Hua Chen Yu even performed part of it in Yang Kun's performance in Episode 8.
Due to the popularity My Skateboard Shoes 2016 received, Hua Chen Yu released an official studio version later that year.
