Love You At 105 Degrees: The Catchy Chinese Song You Need To Know

Are you ready to fall in love with one of the catchiest songs to come out of China in recent years? “Love You at 105 Degrees” (热爱105度的你) by the talented singer-songwriter Asi (阿肆) has taken the internet by storm! “Love You at 105 Degrees” is all about the joyous, carefree emotions of young love. The playful lyrics and catchy melody make it impossible not to sing along.

Originally crafted as a jingle for Watsons distilled water in 2019, this infectious tune became a TikTok sensation two years later, securing a spot in the People’s Daily’s Top Ten BGMs of the year. Now in 2024, its just as appealing as ever.

I’m excited to share my take on the lyrics with you! While there are many translations out there, I found that some sound a bit awkward. As a native English speaker, I wanted to create a version that truly captures the spirit of the song while feeling authentic in English.

Super idol 的笑容都没你的甜
Super idol de xiàoróng dōu méi nǐ de tián
Even a super idol’s smile can’t compare to your sweetness.

八月正午的阳光都没你耀眼.
Bāyuè zhèngwǔ de yángguāng dōu méi nǐ yàoyǎn
The midday sun in August pales in comparison to your brilliance.

热爱105度的你滴滴清纯的蒸馏水

You have no idea how incredibly adorable you are.

跌倒后会傻笑着再站起来

“Don’t worry; I’m here with you. Let me take care of everything.”

勇敢追自己的梦想那坚定的模样
Yǒnggǎn zhuī zìjǐ de mèngxiǎng, nà jiāndìng de múyàng
Bravely chase your dreams, with that steadfast look in your eyes.
