Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) will release her new Cantonese album "Blooming" at the end of June 2013. Previously, Ah Sa filmed 4 music videos in one day. Filming from early in the morning until the next morning, Ah Sa did not show the slightest bit of exhaustion. She even asked the director, "Are there really enough shots? I can film more." Working with director Heiward Mak for the first time, Heiward repeatedly praised, "Ah Sa really is very professional!" Ah Sa expressed, "Perhaps it is because we are around the same age, so we are on the same key! We do not need to discuss too much before we already have an understanding of how to film!"

The music video for "錯過" (Mistaken) depicts a heated period in the relationship between Ah Sa and her boyfriend. Despite constantly sending messages and running in hopes of getting back Charlene, it is in vain. Fate has destined for the opportunity to be missed. Even if it is heartbreaking, it allows you to grow and learn from you experience, becoming who you are now to meet the next Mr. Right. In reality, what is Ah Sa's point of view on love? She said, "I once also encountered a setback in love, so I hope that after female listeners ponder and savor the lyrics to "錯過" (Mistaken), those who encounter defeat on the road to love feel a sense of relief and are encouraged."

The director requested for Ah Sa to look into the camera lens and cry. Staff members were prepared to give Ah Sa eye drops but Ah Sa expressed that it was not necessary. A moment after she took her position, her eyes were already red and tears dripped from her eyes, smearing her eye makeup. Just as everyone was highly praising Ah Sa's professionalism in completing the scene in one take, coincidentally takeout food arrived. Upon seeing there was delicious food, Ah Sa's tears turned into laughter.

The music video for another song "聰明笨伯" (Intelligent Fool) describes that people always believe that they are unaware and not intelligent. However, they are knowledgeable and are able to see things very clearly. The director wrapped Ah Sa behind layers of transparent film. A metaphor for those who are deceived, it symbolizes that on the road to love, intelligent people are easily trapped in a cocoon. After repeated struggles, they will ultimately be able to break free from the dilemma.
