After the song from TABLE FOR SIX, Wong Yuen Chi and Chan Wing Sun worked together again. Chan Wing Sun said that this time he asked Wong Yuen Ch to create the song according to one of the major scenes in TABLE FOR SIX 2. They held many meetings to discuss and analyze the 5 "Table" members' emotions in the scene.

Wong Yuen Chi said that the second film's theme song had an different style. In comparison of the rich rhythm of the previous film's theme song, this song would be heart warming and full of emotions. After receiving the director's lyrics, she got teary eyed. The film song's lyrics and music video foretold the relationships of the film's lead characters would run into new impact, as the "Table" family faced break up.

Chan Wing Sun recalled the first time he got the music from Wong Yuen Chi, he was already very touched. She filled in one part with the words "remember remember". He followed those words and the style of the song and wrote the lyrics more like a narration. He even revealed that when he listened to the song at home, as soon as his wife heard it she was already moved to tears. He said, "My wife feels why does this song is so different from the previous film's comedic atmosphere, now it has become a banned song at my home. I can't play it casually, because she might cry." He said that his wife kept asking him about the story of TABLE FOR SIX 2, why would the film song's atmosphere be so solemn.
