My Fairytale (Chinese: 另一個童話) is the third extended play (EP) by Chinese-Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M., released on August 30, 2018, by Hummingbird Music.[1] It serves as the first part of G.E.M.'s "fairytale" trilogy, which led up to the release of the singer's fifth studio album, Happily Ever After (2019).[2] The EP spawned the single "Tik Tok".
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]
