The song was co-written by Ashin and Jolin Tsai， and composed by Razor Jiang and Jolin Tsai. The song is based on a teenager who was discriminated against and died because of her feminine appearance.
玫瑰少年曾获得第30届台湾金曲奖年度歌曲，这首歌是为了纪念台湾省15岁的玫瑰少年叶永志而创作的。叶永志长相清秀，性格乖巧，不调皮，书包里总是装着一本菜谱，回家后会主动地帮妈妈做饭炒菜，还会给辛苦工作一天的妈妈揉肩膀按摩。
