I've been doing the C-pop Saturday feature more regularly this year, and it's time for the first one of the summer!
Meiqi- Jiang
This is Jiang by Chinese singer Meiqi. Her full name is Meng Meiqi (the surname is first) and she is a member of Korean/Chinese girl group Cosmic Girls and also the Chinese idol girl group Rocket Girls 101.
Born in Henan province in China, Meiqi moved to South Korea aged 15 to become a trainee. She made her music debut as a member of Cosmic Girls (also known as WJSN) with the mini album Would You Like? in early 2016. In 2018 she competed in Produce 101, the Chinese version of the Korean reality music show, and made it to the final to become a member of Rocket Girls.
In April Meiqi released her debut EP Jiang and single of the same name. It became the fastest selling digital album of 2019.
In addition to singing, Meiqi is an actress. Her films include Step Up China (2018), Autumn in my Heart/Autumn Fairy Tale (2019) and the upcoming Jade Dynasty.
Here is the video for Jiang which was uploaded in May.
Update 8/7/22: The video is now gone for some reason but here's the audio:

Jolin Tsai- Karma
Join Tsai (also from Taiwan) released Karma in May. It's from her 14th studio album Ugly Beauty which came out in December. If you click on "Subtitles/Closed Captions" while viewing it on YouTube you can see English subtitles. :)
And here's her latest video for the song Romance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlL0DsoqmEM

Finally this is Another by Chinese rapper and singer Roi. His real name is Qin Feng and he started out in Korean boyband The Legend before going solo in November with the single Show Me.
Another features Hong Kong singer and rapper Jackson Wang (member of K-pop group GOT7 and solo artist). It was released on 19th June and is a mixture of English and Chinese (Mandarin?). This is a lyric video.
