"**Prague Square (Jolin Version)**" () is a song by Taiwanese singer [Jolin Tsai](/source/Jolin_Tsai). Written by [Jay Chou](/source/Jay_Chou) and [Vincent Fang](/source/Vincent_Fang_(lyricist)), and produced by Tsai, it was released on February 25, 2026, through [Universal](/source/Universal_Music_Group). The song serves as the theme for [Starlux Airlines](/source/Starlux_Airlines)' new [Taipei](/source/Taipei)–[Prague](/source/Prague) route. The 2026 version is a re-recording of the track originally included on Tsai's fifth studio album, *[Magic](/source/Magic_(Jolin_Tsai_album))* (2003).

## Background

The original "Prague Square" was released in 2003 and became one of Tsai's representative songs. Inspired by [Prague](/source/Prague), the lyrics reference [Gothic architecture](/source/Gothic_architecture) and European scenery. While the song mentions landmarks in Prague, the original music video was filmed in Taiwan. A lyric referring to a wishing fountain in [Old Town Square](/source/Old_Town_Square) drew discussion, as no such fountain exists.[1]

## Release and promotion

Ahead of [Starlux Airlines](/source/Starlux_Airlines)' [Taipei](/source/Taipei)–[Prague](/source/Prague) service, a 15-second promotional teaser featuring the instrumental introduction of "Prague Square" was released on the airline's social media. The video shows Tsai in a captain's uniform approaching a Starlux aircraft. Tsai also shared footage filmed in Prague on her personal social media.[2]

The single was officially released on February 25, 2026, as the theme for the route launch. The inaugural Taipei–Prague flight is scheduled for August 1, 2026, with limited promotional offers.[3]

## Composition and production

The 2003 version combined [classical](/source/Classical_music) elements with [Mandopop](/source/Mandopop) production. The "Jolin Version" uses [alternative R&B](/source/Alternative_R%26B) and [hip-hop](/source/Hip-hop) elements with [electronic](/source/Electronic_music) textures. Tsai served as producer for the 2026 version, revisiting the song with a contemporary perspective. Musical coordination was provided by Howe Chen, with arrangement by electronic musician Flowstrong. The updated production departs from the [orchestral](/source/Orchestra) tone of the original and includes Tsai's first performance of the song's [rap](/source/Rapping) section.[4][5]

## Music video

The 2026 project finally allowed Tsai to fulfill a vision that had remained unrealized during the original release by filming the music video in [Prague](/source/Prague). The new version was shot on location across the city, featuring landmarks such as [Old Town Square](/source/Old_Town_Square), the [Astronomical Clock](/source/Astronomical_clock), the [Vltava River](/source/Vltava), and [Charles Bridge](/source/Charles_Bridge).[6] In the video, Tsai takes on multiple roles, including an inaugural captain and a series of allegorical figures representing different stages of self-reflection. The narrative builds toward a symbolic reconciliation between past and present selves.[7]

## Critical reception

According to [Tea FM](/source/TEA_FM), the song is built on emphatic [hip-hop](/source/Hip-hop) [drum beats](/source/Drum_beat) and a fluid low-frequency groove, with [syncopation](/source/Syncopation) and [synthesizers](/source/Synthesizer) creating relaxed, layered textures that drift into a dreamlike atmosphere. Tsai adopts a lighter, more unrestrained vocal style, using her voice with expressive flexibility and performing the [rap](/source/Rapping) herself. Her delivery shifts smoothly from intimate whispers in the verses to a clear, expansive chorus, likened to light passing through stained glass and casting vivid, kaleidoscopic colors.[8]
