F.I.R. (traditional Chinese :飛兒樂團; simplified Chinese :飞儿乐团; pinyin :Fēiér Yuètuán) is a Taiwanese pop rock band formed in 2004. The group currently consists of Ian Chen, Xiao Yu and Wu Yi. Originally consisted of Faye, Ian & Real Huang, they are well known throughout Asia after their hit "Lydia", which gained popularity for being the theme song of Taiwanese TV drama, The Outsiders (鬥魚).

Name

The name F.I.R. comes from the initials of the three original members: Faye, Ian, and Real. It is also a backronym for "Fairyland In Reality", their debut album name.

History

In March 2018, it was announced that Faye would not be part of F.I.R. anymore – citing creative differences and in pursuit of a solo career.^[1] In October 2018, it was announced that then 22-year-old Lydia Han (also mononymously known as Lydia) would join the group, replacing Faye as its lead vocal.^[2] Lydia was constantly compared against Faye and was cyber-bullied.^[3] In December 2022, as a result of developing depression, Lydia indefinitely suspended her singing activities.^[4] Her recording contract also lapsed the following year.^[5]

In 2024, guitarist Real Huang announced his withdrawal from the band and became an independent producer. Band leader Ian Chen said that F.I.R. would go solo but would not disband.^[6]

In 2025, F.I.R. announced that the group would be holding their "Our Love Tour" in Malaysia. In addition to the only member Ian Chen, the group would be collaborating with Taiwanese music group Wǔ Dù Yǔ's (武渡羽) lead singer, Xiǎo Yǔ (小羽) and guitarist Xiǎo Wǔ (小武). They also emphasized that this group was "not the third generation of F.I.R."^[7]
