Unfinished Songs is the fourth album by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. It was released on December 11, 2009, by Sheng Teng and later acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music.[3]

Background

Unfinished Songs is a compilation album with 11 previously released songs and three new songs. The three new songs are: "Unfinished Songs" (Chinese: 未完成的歌), "My Athena" (Chinese: 我的雅典娜), and "Thank You to Those Who Love Me" (Chinese: 爱我的人 谢谢你). Of the 14 tracks on the album, Xue composed music for 13 and wrote lyrics for nine. The single, Unfinished Songs took more than a year to complete because Xue was waiting for the right lyrics to fit the melody. Gan Shijia, who has previously collaborated with Xue, ended up writing the lyrics for Unfinished Songs.
