English, pinyin lyrics: Namewee (Huang Ming Zhi) : Happy 2 Friends (Liang Ge Hao Peng You) 黃明志-Happy 2 Friends 兩個好朋友
The song feels like Namewee (Huang Mingzhi) is having a heart-to-heart with himself, opening up about the inner struggle between two sides of his personality. It’s like watching two best friends in his mind—each with totally different vibes—arguing, supporting, and even low-key admiring each other.
The 2 friends, XiaoZhi and XiaoMing, who are totally different but somehow just click. XiaoZhi is blunt and sees the world for what it is—he’s not the easiest to get along with, but he opens your eyes. XiaoMing, on the other hand, tries hard to meet everyone’s expectations and ends up carrying a lot of stress. Even though they’re opposites, they balance each other out.
The lyrics may seem childish, but they actually reflect the struggles of adults against life.
Please note the last part of the video is an ad placement that Namewee incorporated into the video.
