[9] "Against the Light" is a power ballad that is solely accompanied by a piano in the beginning, but halfway through the song its production soars and becomes a lot more anthemic, thus giving the audience a feeling of seeing hope.
"What I Miss" was crafted by veteran Chinese musicians Daryl Yao and Peter Lee, and lyrically talks about yearning for an estranged lover.
After joining EMI that year, the meaning of the album title expressed Sun's attitude at the time; "Say goodbye to the past and continue to move forward against the light in the next stage.
"[11] On the album cover, which was taken in Egypt, she is wearing a white top and sports a breezy bob cut while overlooking a pyramid in the background.
[14] On 4 May of the same year, the record label released a limited CD+DVD edition of Against The Light to celebrate the album's sales of over one million copies across Asia.
[15][16] On 21 April 2007, Sun held a celebratory concert at Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf to an audience of nearly 20,000 spectators to commemorate the excellent sales of Against The Light.
In the next scene, Sun runs wildly in the scorching hot desert near the world famous Giza pyramid complex while wearing a breezy vest and short skirt.
When interviewed, EMI / Capitol Records general manager Sam Chen only said that Sun was very frightened and told the local station The Singapore Embassy offered them help and rushed the crew in a safe place.
[23][24] However, due to the repeated statements of the record company, the disappearance of the director, Sun's failure to return to Taiwan, and the staff's avoidance of talks, Chen began to be questioned about "frying news",[25][26] and the Egyptian incident became a mystery.
[27] On 26 March, Khalid, the head of the Solar Empire Travel Agency, who hosted Sun and her party to Egypt, explained the whole incident on the Internet.
[28] The local tour guide also said in a telephone interview the next day that there had never been any incidents of intimidation with guns, pointing out that someone had lied for publicity.
[31] It was only two years later that Sun mentioned the incident for the first time in an interview, and euphemistically stated that she no longer agreed with the current record sales practices.
[38] The music video for "Floating" was directed by Xu Yunxuan and also stars Ting Wei Lu as the male lead.
[40] Not all of the full-length songs in Against The Light had music videos; the tracks "Tranquility", "Patter Of Love" and "Swirl" used edited concert footage instead.
