Vocalist (main): Gaga
Vocalist: Ting Ting
Bassist (leader): Kai Kai
DJ: Gu Gu
Guitarist: Lei Bao
Drummer: Ah Xiang
Fun Facts: Some of the members have done the craziest things like stripping for a bet (Ting Ting), ran naked while drunk (Gaga), and this tops the list: influenced by too much action movies, Lei Bao attempts a fire stunt and end up burning his hair and eyebrows. He has since turned afro (keke).
The opening song is catchy like DTLY's predecessor, Fated To Love You's 99 Times I Love You, but I definitely prefer this track. I'm a sucker for songs with cool beats, and it's probably DJ Gu Gu's doing. Not only that, it actually means something. It ponders upon fate, whether it's all prearrange and we have no say in it: Do we love by the influence of some higher force or is it our own free will? Then it tells us to abandon the rules and love anyway; don't fight it (got that my OTP?).
Here's the DTLY-themed MV of the song (SO COOL):
Title: Play Against The Rules (Bu An Pai Li Chu Pai)
Artist: Magic Power
You really wanna do do do it all night
You really wanna do do do it all night
You really wanna do do do it all night
Wu oh
Wu oh
What what...wh-wha-what a beautiful night
Tonight I'm the dealer, who wants to try their luck at true love?
I'll give you my sincere heart as collateral, you don't have return it
Since it's just a "coincidence" you don't have to be too alarmed
Where is the huge gust of wind blowing to?
Blown to people who meet by a happy coincidence
Facing each other, the things we shared
A memorable encounter
Cupid's arrow, once aimed
You'll only be able to love that one person
Is that force or free will?
I'll bet bet bet bet with you this one love
I'm surr-rrr-rrounded with your real love
I want you to see-e-e-e true love
I want you to see-e-e-e true love
Wu oh
Wu oh
Don't play by the rules, just come if you dare
Don't play by the rules, just love if you wanna
Don't play by the rules, in love there's always hurt
Wu oh
Wu oh
Saying "what a coincidence", but it's best not to greet
Shall we just leave it to fate or use an ID card to guarantee?
