Half (Chinese: 一半) is the second extended play by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. It was released on October 17, 2015, by Ocean Butterflies and later acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music.[2]

Background

Half is the second of the two EPs Xue said he would release prior to the full album in a bid to make sure every song has a chance to be heard by the audience because most songs on a full album are often ignored for the lead single.[3] Xue once again served as the producer on the album, collaborating with Guo Ding, Li Ronghao and Peter Krafft on the songs.

"Child" is written and composed by Guo, who has previously worked with Xue on his albums before. Xue liked the song as soon as he heard the demo, the message that people who are too rational and calculating in love wishing to regain the "innocent heart of a child" resonated with him.[4] Xue considers "Half" the best set of lyrics he's written in the past few years.[5] It details a breakup of a couple where "half of you has become my fetter, and half of me has become your obstacle."[4] "Stay Here", composed by Kraff, was originally intended for an English song but Xue thought it was so good that he couldn't resist writing the lyrics for it, creating a song that memorializes his stubbornness with the hope that in the future, he won't make the same mistake again.[5]

Xue continues to showcase his unique "Xue Style Love Song" and maturity in his music through his second EP, finally letting go of the emotional pain of the past and presenting it in his songs through different emotions such as determination, sadness, nostalgia, regret, tenderness, pain...[4] When the listener hears Xue's songs, they can't help but be touched by the story in his music.[6]

Half won the top spot on many music charts since its release. On November 10, Ocean Butterflies held celebration in Beijing in honor of Half surpassing 100 million listening volume, achieved in less than a month.[7]
