Singer-songwriter Chou has become one of the biggest stars in Asia since his debut album in 2000.
To mark his daughter's first birthday in June, Chou dedicated a song, Lover From a Previous Life, to his daughter, in which he uses some sounds his daughter made on her toy piano.
"When my wife showed me a video of our daughter playing with the piano, I was taken in by some of the sounds," says Chou.
"She may not be a musician when she grows up. But I will give her a pink piano someday, and I hope that music will play an important part in her life."
Fatherhood has also made him much more relaxed than before, says Chou. The life changes have also influenced his songs.
"In the past, I wrote songs just to entertain or express myself. But now, I want to write songs for my fans. When I listen to them singing my love ballads at concerts, I am touched," he says, referring to songs in the new album, such as Confessing Ballon and Shouldn't Be, which he dedicated to his fans.
In 2014, when Chou released his 13th album, Aiyo, Not Bad, he became the first singer-songwriter in China to work with QQ Music, the music streaming service of internet giant Tencent, which released his album online.
The album sold 150,000 copies and started the trend of selling digital music in the country.
Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories sold 1 million copies in less than 36 hours, with each copy selling at 20 yuan ($3), according to Cussion Pang, vice-president of Tencent.
"So far, Jay Chou has sold albums via QQ Music worth 30 million yuan. He has started an era, not just with his musical style, but also in the way music is sold," says Pang in Beijing.
Chou was raised in Linkou, Taiwan, by his mother, a schoolteacher who divorced his father when he was little.
Chou, a classically trained pianist who considers Chopin and Bruce Lee as his idols, got his break when he was spotted by Taiwan TV host Jacky Wu, who asked Chou to join his then-record company, Alfa Music, as a composer in 1998.
