[4][5][6] The title of this album is a pun: during the Cultural Revolution, Teng's songs were condemned as "decadent sounds" (靡靡之音) by the Chinese Communist Party.

[citation needed] The album title is literally translated as Faye's Decadent Music (菲靡靡之音),[7] but as the character "菲" (fēi, i.e. the name Faye in Chinese) has the same pronunciation as the related character "非" (fēi, "not" in Classical Chinese), the title can also be construed as "Non-Decadent Sounds".

The album consists entirely of cover versions of songs originally released by her idol Teresa Teng, one of the most revered Chinese singers of the 20th century.

Teng's music remains extremely popular in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and mainland China.

Not only did Wong show that she shared Teresa Teng's clear, sweet singing voice, but the arrangements added an unexpected freshness to many of the songs.
