Throughout his career, Jay Chou has captivated audiences with a diverse range of music genres that span from pop, R&B to rock. His upcoming song is expected to be just as eclectic. According to the artist himself, the new piece could have a bagatelle-like style, which typically refers to light and humorous pieces for musical instruments, usually piano. The bagatelle genre originated with French composer Johann Sebastian Bach's sonatas and partitas for solo violin and has been further developed by other famous composers like Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Debussy.

However, Chou also hinted at the possibility of releasing a "mini-play" or skit to accompany his new song. This could be a reference to a short scene from a play that is often used in music videos. While some Weibo users initially thought it might refer to a comedy sketch by Hong Kong actor and producer Bin Shan, Chou clarified that the name "December Mini-play" was his personal suggestion inspired by the upcoming December issue of a fashion magazine. This indicates that the new musical piece will likely have a theme tied to the holiday season or winter, fitting with the month's title.
The artist has promised to share more details soon and revealed that he will perform a skit on his New Year's Eve concert. The release of a new song on December 22 was also confirmed by official notices, much to the delight of Chou's fans who have been eagerly waiting for his next musical offering. Netizens have expressed their excitement and anticipation for the new song, with some playfully commenting that Chou has mastered the art of postponement while others laud his unconventional and unique approach to music video titles and themes.

One user jokingly suggested that the song's title could be "Zhou Jieren Flipping and Jumping Zhang Yixiang's 'Lian'" a reference to Chou's competitive spirit and past experience as an idol. Another Weibo user expressed their admiration for Chou's piano miniatures and how he infuses them into his music, hinting at the possible incorporation of this musical style into the new piece.
The anticipation grew with a countdown to December 12, 2023, that appeared in one image shared on Weibo. It seems as though fans are particularly excited about Chou's unique approach to his music and the possibility that he might surprise them once again with his new release.
As we await further details from Jay Chou's December Mini-play, one thing is clear: this upcoming song will be filled with surprises and showcase his signature style of musical storytelling.
