有收看《衝上雲霄II》的觀眾，應該會留意到每逢提到Holiday何年希（陳法拉飾）的感情線時，總會播起一首英文歌。你可能不知道這首歌的歌名，也未必清楚歌曲由英國女歌手Adele主唱，但你應該記得有這樣的一句歌詞：
“Should
I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?”
每次響起，總會在我的腦海中縈繞。
這首名為《Chasing Pavements》的歌曲，收錄在Adele第一張專輯《19》。現年25歲的Adele，當時更憑《19》這張專輯，在2009年首奪美國Grammy最佳新人及最佳流行女歌手獎。於2012年再憑專輯《21》一夜間橫掃6個Grammy獎項，平了Beyonce的紀錄。
歌曲乃Adele的真實故事，事源某夜她與前度男友爭吵過後，於凌晨時份在街上漫無目的地亂跑，覺得自己所做的一切就像chasing pavements一樣。

其實有沒有人想過到底什麼是"chasing pavements"呢？照字面意思解釋就是追逐行人路？下？追逐行人路？"Chasing pavements"，形容一件沒有結果的事 (a fruitless activity)，就如在行人路上追逐一樣，沒有終點，在歌詞裡就引申為「不會開花結果的愛情」。
Adele沙啞低沉的歌聲，演繹出歌詞中的無奈、痛苦及掙扎，難怪歌曲會大受歡迎。
I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further
This ain't lust, I know this is love
But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do if I'd end up with you
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
I build myself up and fly around in circles
Wait then as my heart drops and my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
