"Queen's Road East" (Chinese: 皇后大道東) is a song by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Lo Ta-yu, featuring Hong Kong singer Ram Chiang.

[9] Lo Ta-yu left Taiwan in 1985 to practice medicine in the United States, before moving to Hong Kong two years later.

[18] Leung's lyrics satirically express the anxiety felt by the city's residents over the impending handover of Hong Kong in 1997.

[10]: 18:17 In a 1991 episode of the RTHK programme Hong Kong Connection, Lo and Leung discussed the song's musical composition and lyrics.

Lo described the song's instrumental introduction as having a "mystical" quality that reflects the "vibrancy" he sees in Hong Kong.

[d] This refers to the Chinese authorities' promises to allow horse races involving betting to continue in Hong Kong.

The video also shows cars and pedestrians moving in reverse, and the two singers imitating Chinese state leaders by walking along a street while clapping their hands.

[7]: 104–105  Researcher Sun Hongmei described the video as "shed[ding] all subtlety" compared to the song's lyrics, which "[rely] on uncertainty, uneasiness, and subtle satire".

[14] "Queen's Road East" was removed from major Chinese music streaming platforms in June 2019,[5][6][31] with some reports stating the song was banned due to its lyrics and association with the Hong Kong protests.

[28][29] Later that year, over 3000 songs written by Leung were reportedly taken off Chinese music streaming platforms after he voiced support for the protests in Hong Kong.
