On April 24, 2007, Eason Chan officially launched the Chinese album "Recognize It". This album contains many hit songs, and won awards such as "Excellent Album" at the Metro Chinese Power Awards and "Top 10 Best-Selling Chinese Records" at the IFPI Hong Kong Record Sales Awards.
In fact, Eason Chan wanted to release a concept album of "5 Cantonese songs + 5 Chinese songs" before, hoping that the songs in it could echo each other, but because the record company changed its plans, it first released the Cantonese album "What's Going On..." on November 23, 2006. Five months later, the Chinese album "Recognize It" was released to listeners. Eason Chan felt a little regretful about this incident, so he also named the album "Admit it".
This "Long Time No See" is Eason Chan's masterpiece, composed by Chen Xiaoxia, who once wrote "Ten Years" for Eason Chan, and it is also the last album "What's Going On...? The Chinese version of "It's Better Not to See". In 2011, the romance film "33 Days of Broken Love" starring Bai Baihe was released, which won the "Outstanding Feature Film" of the 31st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, and this song "Long Time No See" was also used as an interlude in the film. The song conveys the mood of "imagining seeing your old lover again, greeting you with a sentence of 'long time no see'", "Will you suddenly appear, in the coffee shop on the corner, I will sit and chat with you with a smile, waving and chatting", sad lyrics with Eason Chan's affectionate voice, singing the longing for his beloved, and the helplessness and loneliness of knowing that the relationship has ended.

In the MV of "Long Time No See", Eason Chan, wearing a hat, a suit, and holding a cane, imitates silent film superstar Charlie Chaplin, and uses his body to show a series of funny movements, which also forms a strong contrast with the bleak artistic conception of the song, and shows the inner struggle and reluctance vividly.
Another song "Elimination" was written and composed by Jay Chou, which is also the first collaboration between Eason Chan and Jay Chou. At a certain awards ceremony, Jay Chou took the initiative to take out the prepared works, and Eason Chan said that he liked it very much when he heard it, so he included this song in the album.
This song creates a sad atmosphere, "I can only say that I lost, maybe you are afraid, our memories are not wrinkled, but you use leaving to burn the end", in the process of managing the relationship, you will feel sweet, but also will have doubts, when the relationship has been broken, maybe separation is the best ending. Eason Chan's voice is very story-telling, slowly outlining the inner activities in the face of feelings.
The album's "Love Transfer" and "Red Rose" are also very popular works, the former is the theme song of the movie "Love Call Transfer" released in 2007, the song analyzes the word "love", when the affectionate melody sounds, it will also remind everyone of those unforgettable memories;
