Who is the "hardest to please" artist in Vivian's heart? The answer is intimate good friend plus fellow basketball player Jay. He broke the record of 4 times rejection set be Harlem's "Heaven". The song "Cliff Of Love" was rejected 5 times all together, making Vivian, who has always had favourable comments towards her work, "daring to be angry, but no daring to show it in speech", all she could do was smile grimly: "Helping others write lyrics is much harder than writing lyrics for yourself!"

Breaks Harlem record

When she was writing "Heaven" for Harlem, Vivian often thought of good words in the middle of the night and she would call Harlem and "sing it to him"; she's worked with good friend Jay on "Lovable Woman", "Tornado", "Cannot Speak", "Simple Love", etc... a lot of songs that are on peoples' lips, you would have thought that the two have a tacit agreement, Vivian said smiling: "Originally writing "Heaven" for Harlem and being rejected 4 times, I was very sad, in my heart I thought that this should be the highest record since I started writing, never could I have thought that writing "Cliff Of Love" for Jay would be rejected 5 times, breaking the record. But I won't be angry because him and I are both perfectionists."

Search for inspiration on the plane

Vivian also revealed that when she is writing lyrics for Jay, the best place is on the plane, including "Lovable Woman", "Tornado", "Cannot Speak", "Cliff Of Love", were all completed on the plane. She said smiling: "Actually you can tell from the lyrics, like "Want to fly to the universe with you", "Love has come too fast just like a tornado", these were all thought up of when I was on the plane, I was hurriedly writing them on the sick bags." Never could you have thought that Jay has so many moving love songs and in fact they are all work on sick bags!
