Production

The huge success of Chen's "Unbelievable" music video, which garnered 3.2 million views on Facebook and YouTube prompted director Ong Kuo Sin to come up with a feature film and provide a background story for it. The film was shot in 15 days starting from 14 September 2015.

To sing Hokkien songs in the film, Jaime Teo had to watch online videos to brush up on the dialect.
