Music is used in the intro and outro of all ‘Meteor Garden’ episodes. Most songs are in Chinese and are mostly sung by the group ‘F4’, who also sing in real life. Sometimes the odd English song is put in.
The intro song is called ‘For You,’ these are the lyrics:
You look around like a child
You can't understand, my heartbeat has stopped, and I have no pulse
It's so nice of you to come over.
Can't even move away from you for a moment.
I'm obsessed with you, I can't wait
Abandon anything for you, just love you.
For you~~ for you~~
Give you all the tenderness
Stayin' with you by your side, no matter when you look back.
For you~~
Give you the whole universe.
Just for you,
I love to guess, and my temper is bad.
For you I'd go through the fire and water
But I am willing to get rid of all the bad habits for you.
Even the most special girl can't live without a fight.
It's like we're meant to be together.
For you~~ for you~~
I have no reservations about you.
I say everything to you, and I dream with you.
From now on, you won't be lonely.
For you~~
Give me your heart.
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Each fragment as long as you are in
Don't let go of any smile, stuck it all in your head.
You've been overwhelmed by all the love
Every breath exists to love you.
For you~~ for you~~
Give you all the tenderness
My eyes are staggered, so I can understand.
There's no need to say anything more.
For you~~
Take off the whole starry sky oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This song is clearly being sung from the perspective
of Daoming Si, and is being dedicated to Shancai.
The reason I know this, is because it says, ‘you look around like a child’, which is what Daoming Si does a lot, and it says ’and my temper is bad’, and the only person in this tv show known for his temper is Daoming Si.
Another popular song used in Meteor Garden is ‘Qing Fei de Yi,’ these are the lyrics:
It's hard to forget the first time I met you
A mesmerizing pair of eyes
In my mind
The image of you
Cannot disappear
When I hold your hand and feel your warmth
It's really too much for me to handle
Your innocence
I would like to treasure,
When I see you suffering
I will feel so sad oh...
Just afraid I will fall for you
Dare not let myself get too close
Afraid I’ve got nothing to offer you
Loving you may require a lot of courage too
Just afraid I will fall for you
Maybe one day I wouldn’t be able to control myself
Thinking of you only hurts myself
I just can't help falling in love with you

This intro song has a lot of love and passion in the lyrics, at first, I thought these lyrics were from Daoming Si and directed at Shancai. The more I think about it, it sounds more like it’s from Shancai directed at Huaze Lei, because one of the lyrics says ‘Your innocence’ which means it's definitely not talking about Daoming Si.
American music VS Chinese music, in American music, there is a lot of songs about relationships, when American artists write lyrics about a relationship, they tend to talk about the physical aspect of a relationship, and all the drinking and drugs. In Chinese music, they also like to sing songs about relationships, but they write their lyrics from a different part of a relationship, they like to sing about the emotional side of a relationship.
The top 2 most listened genres of music in China are rap and hip-hop. While in America it’s Rock and Pop.
