"A rainy day is inspirational to me. It's an old habit of mine to watch rain in November," says Wu, who has invited guests to sing on the album. Coupe, features the American rapper Rich The Kid and Freedom featuring Jhene Aiko.

The song Deserve, in which Wu performs along with American rapper Travis Scott, made Wu the first-ever Chinese artist to top the US iTunes Chart, when it made No 1 in October.

"I am a very productive singer-songwriter. I can write one song a day and arrange it in my head simultaneously," Wu says. "I know my album won't appeal to everyone. That's ok. I am having a good time by making my music. I just hope that some people will enjoy my music."
