After such a great start, Faye Wong released two more albums; both failed to farewell. In 1991, Faye Wong traveled to New York to learn vocals and for cultural exchange. She, however, missed the registration deadline. Talking about those days and her experience, Faye Wong had said in 1996:

“I wandered around, visited museums and sat at cafes. There were so many strange, confident-looking people. They didn’t care what other people thought of them. I felt I was originally like that too, independent and a little rebellious. But in Hong Kong I lost myself. I was shaped by others and became like a machine, a dress hanger. I had no personality and no sense of direction.”

After returning to Hong Kong, she got a new agent called Katie Chan. She released the album Homecoming soon after. She gained fame in 1992 and 1993 with her songs which became a hit. There was also an English number on this album. She also made her TV appearances at that time in the TV series File of Justice II.
