"Serious Snow" (Chinese: 认真的雪; pinyin: Rènzhēndexuě) is a song by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue.[1] It was released on June 9, 2006, as part of his debut album Jacky (2006) and then included on his compilation album Unfinished Songs (2009) under Shang Teng; both have been acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music.[2] The song was written and composed by Xue.
Xue gained widespread attention due to "Serious Snow".[3][4] It is credited as establishing the "Xue Style Love Songs", for which he is well-known.[5][6]
"Serious Snow" performed well on charts and was one of the highest downloaded ringtones of the year.[7] It is a staple in the setlist for Xue's three concert tours: I Think I've Seen You Somewhere Tour (2017), Skyscraper World Tour (2018-2019), and Extraterrestrial World Tour (2021-2025).

Background
"Serious Snow" was inspired by Xue's first heartbreak. As Xue was writing the song, he sought feedback from producers multiple times but was always told to "do it boldly", a response that frustrated Xue until the album was completed and he understood the freedom he was given to create the music he wants.[8]
Xue wrote the song after his girlfriend ended their relationship and it was snowing at the time when it hadn't snowed in Shanghai for many years, so the inspiration struck. When reflecting back on the song, Xue said his perspective on love was "quite childish" as it was focused on not wanting his lover to leave.[9]
