"Bubble" (Chinese: 泡沫; pinyin: Pàomò) is a song recorded by Chinese-Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M., released on 14 October 2012 as one of the singles from her third studio album Xposed (2012). The song surged in popularity after she performed it during season two of I Am a Singer in China in 2014. It garnered over 100 million streams on Xiami Music and over 50 million views on YouTube.

Background and development

In an interview, G.E.M. said the song was written after her breakup. She felt depressed and escaped to New York City to stay for a week. One day, she walked down a crowded street and saw some clowns blowing bubbles. It was a beautiful scene but in her eyes, although the bubbles were beautiful, they were also fragile.

Music video and live performances

The music video for "Bubble" was directed by Tan Chang. With "Bubble" being one of G.E.M.'s most popular and acclaimed songs, she has performed it several times, such as on the first episode of I Am a Singer (season 2) and on her world tours.
