Private Corner is a studio album by Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung, known as God of Songs and one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Original songs were written by international writers from the U.S., Germany, Sweden, Norway and Australia expressly for Cheung's project.

"Bu Zhi You Yuan (Lucky In Love)", written for Cheung, appears as the theme song of Crossing Hennessy.

[7] Cheng describes his album as an invitation to his listeners into his "private world":[8] "Nowadays, people are always so busy and caught up in work that they need to retreat into their own 'Private Corner' to escape and let go of all their stress and frustrations.

He wanted the freedom to sing songs he likes and share his own perspective and personal emotions, without being concerned with commercial pressures.

"[10] Cheung personally funded the costs of recording Private Corner, wishing to avoid any label restrictions, saying "It's up to me, they just help me implement it".

[citation needed] The concept of the album is jazz but each song is different in style, arrangement and content to express Cheung's temperaments in every way, musically and lyrically.

Cheung explained after listening to a variety of jazz recordings for two years, when he heard Bobby Caldwell's music, he knew he'd found what he was looking for and wanted to sing it.

[17] "Double Trouble" features an uptempo big band swing arrangement accentuating the tension in the lyrics Cheung sings about being caught in a dangerous situation, while in "Not Only Fate", a mid-tempo ballad with a string quartet and a piano playing a softly rhythmic accompaniment of semitone triplets, Cheung sings of an obsession for passion living in the loneliness of a big city.

is a waltz featuring a harmonica solo by Tollak Ollestad,[5] while "Earl Grey Tea", written by Pete Moore, an Australian living in Hong Kong, is a lament of the pressures of survival.

After repeated attempts by Chinese authors to write a Cantonese adaptation for it, Cheung felt the lyrics were best expressed as they were originally written and sang it in English.
