WeiBird (韋禮安), born Wei Li-an on March 5, 1987, in Taiwan, is a renowned singer-songwriter celebrated for his heartfelt compositions and soulful voice. He gained prominence after winning the first season of the Taiwanese singing competition “Happy Sunday” in 2007. Since then, WeiBird has released multiple albums, earning accolades for his contributions to Mandopop.
One of his notable works is the song “Red Scarf” (如果可以), which served as the theme song for the 2021 Taiwanese film “Till We Meet Again” (月老). This romantic fantasy comedy, directed by Giddens Ko, is based on his novel of the same name. The film intertwines themes of love, destiny, and the metaphysical, telling the story of a man who becomes a god of love after his death and endeavors to reconnect with his past lover. “Red Scarf” complements the film’s narrative by encapsulating its emotional depth and exploration of enduring love.
