With over 120 million views on its music video, “If Possible” was nominated for the Golden Melody Awards’ “Song of the Year” and the Golden Horse Awards’ “Best Original Film Song,” showcasing the tremendous popularity and musical prowess of Weibird Wei. Due to his exceptional songwriting talent and achievements, Weibird Wei was the filmmakers’ first choice to perform the theme song for “My Four Enigmatic Friends.” Expressing his delight, Wei remarked, “I’m truly honored that the filmmakers thought of me for this role. I’m excited to share ‘Always There’ with everyone.”

It’s quite interesting, and I’m grateful that this movie, centered around fate, has brought us together again.”
