"Green Apple Paradise" Background
The emergence of the Tigers was purely accidental, and the creation of "Green Apple Paradise" was only a trial run. In July 1988, Taiwan's Carrier Records launched a program called "TV's Spring Festival Battle", aimed at teenage students, and the content was quite refreshing. The Tigers appeared on the program as program assistants to set the mood, and they were Nicky Wu (18), Chen Chi-Peng (17), and Su You-Peng (15), and the three teenagers were a big hit when they appeared on TV.
So the company decided to try them as guest singers on the album "Happy New Year" by Sister Worry Party, singing a single "Green Apple Paradise" as a probe and test of the market. Lyricist Ding Xiaowen, who was inspired to fill in the lyrics of "Green Apple Paradise" at the very beginning when she went to an underground dance hall and saw a lot of teenagers looking energetic, said that she wrote She said that "Green Apple" refers to "teenagers" and "Paradise" alludes to the "underground dance halls" of the time.
