In 2018, olly Murs and his music appeared in the sights of Chinese netizens due to a 15-second cover video of a Chinese boy.

Today, the number of broadcasts of "That Girl" has already exceeded the 4 billion mark.
As a talented debut singer, in 2009, olly Murs became famous in the "British Idol" show with his infectious voice and stage performance, and has since begun his own musical career. In 2010, the first single "Please Don't Let Me Go" reached the top of the UK Singles Chart with 93,000 copies sold in the first week, and in November of the same year, the album of the same name was released and received double platinum certification from the British Recording Association. After 8 years of hard work, Olly Murs has grown into a household name in the United Kingdom.
In the face of the song's popularity in China, he said: "At first, I was surprised that as a young man who grew up in the UK, he never seemed to think that his music could achieve great results across the ocean. I hope that in the future, there will be more opportunities to communicate and collide with Chinese musicians, and convey Chinese and Western cultures through music. ”
The premiere was jointly organized by Olly Murs' record labels Sony Music and NetEase Cloud Music, aiming to support original independent musicians and promote the exchange and development of Chinese and British pop music.
