Chinese American Bear shares nostalgic single ‘Take Me to Beijing (一起回北京)’
Seattle-based duo Chinese American Bear has released their new single ‘Take Me to Beijing (一起回北京),’ a poignant track from their upcoming album Wah!!!, set to drop on October 18 via Moshi Moshi.
‘Take Me to Beijing (一起回北京)’ captures the essence of lead vocalist Anne Tong’s experiences as a child of immigrants, expressing a deep longing for her roots. The track is built on a clap-along beat, lush synths, and electronic elements that evoke a dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere. Tong’s lyrics take listeners through her cherished memories of summer trips to Beijing, painting vivid pictures of drinking oolong tea, exploring the Great Wall, and reconnecting with family.
“This is my favorite song on the album. When Bryce first showed me the chords and synth sounds to this song, I immediately felt strong feelings of nostalgia and wanted to write about something that holds a lot of happy childhood memories for me. I lived in Beijing prior to elementary school and then spent my childhood summers visiting Beijing after my parents immigrated to the U.S. I wanted to share those joyful memories of visiting beautiful and bustling Beijing in the hot summers with lyrics on ‘eating jianbing, drinking oolong tea, exploring the Great Wall, and returning to the place where I first learned about love and family.'”
‘Take Me to Beijing (一起回北京)’ is available now on all streaming services.
