The people just love her that is why not long after, she was offered a break in the recording industry. Star Records saw the potential hit of an album by Kim Chiu.

On the other hand, the song Gwa Ai Di offers a more mature perspective on romance. Carrying the actual title of Kim Chiu’s album, it represents Kim’s growth as an artist as well. Moreover, her duet I’ve Fallen For You with Gerald Anderson will surely make a lot of fans trigger with excitement especially with their upcoming movie to be shown mid-August of this year.
