"Welcome to Cat Republic, You don’t need a visa to enter"

This is a song of a Chinese singer WeiBird wrote for his three cats “Yuppy”, “Doggy” and “Brother Orange". “Cat Republic" is a relaxed R&B style and uses basic jazz chords. The inspiration for writing this song is from his three cats because he wants to record their voices through his album. Therefore, he wrote this song, and the lyrics are written from the cat's perspective, the angle of cats, and how they interest human beings. The lyrics depict the cat's mischievousness such as chewing on earphones, spilling over coffee, and retrieving cockroaches, Through the music, we can see the unique cat style and how cats love their owner.


The director's music video for "Cat Republic" uses the cat perspective to capture the daily life of WeiBird spends his time playing with his cats. Via the music video, it captures various cats and they are playing with the things they like such as balls. The cat as the main character in the music video shows how the cat owner serves their cat as queen. They feed the cat when it comes over and spend the day comfortably lying on the sofa together.



Translated lyrics


The poop and the pee are for you The snacks and the toys are for me I don’t want to pay any attention to you right now Unless you open a can for me

I’ll nibble on your headphones until they break Occasionally, I’ll walk over so you can pet me I’ll spill over your coffee I’ll make my paws dirty And then step all over your pillow

Welcome to Cat Republic You don’t need a visa to enter I just need you to say that You’ll serve me forever You’ll love me forever

Come lick my butt Because you make me feel at ease This cockroach is for you Because I’m afraid you can’t take care of yourself I’ll nibble on your headphones until they break I’ll scratch your sofa until it’s ruined Occasionally, I’ll walk over so you can pet me I’ll spill over your coffee I’ll make my paws dirty And then step all over your pillow

Welcome to Cat Republic You don’t need a visa to enter I just need you to say that You’ll serve me forever You’ll love me forever Welcome to Cat Republic You don’t need a visa to enter I just need you to say that You’ll serve me forever You’ll love me forever
