The songs Peter and Mary as well as Embrace became very popular among young audiences. It went on to sell more than 300,000 copies, a considerable feat for a new band in the then pessimistic and saturated music industry. Their debut received critical acclaim, and they gained a following in Taiwan. They went on to release their first full-length studio album titled Mayday's First Album ( 第一張創作專輯) under Rock Records on 7 July 1999. In 1999, after their third drummer Robert from Loh Tsui Kweh Commune had left (the second drummer was Chen Yung-chang 陳泳錩 ), Ming ( 冠佑) joined the band and completed Mayday. In June 1998, they also released Embrace ( 擁抱) compilation album for which they took on most of the songwriting, production and recording duties. In the same year, they also took part in the release of the Taiwan Independent Compilation Album ( ㄞ國歌曲) by indie music label TCM ( 角頭音樂) which included their first studio recording Motor Rock ( 軋車). Īs a result, they signed their first record deal with Rock Records in 1998. Their demo impressed Rock Records executive Jonathan Lee ( 李宗盛) who described them as "the ones who would usher in the sound of the future". Shortly after participating in the Formoz Festival ( 野臺開唱) on 29 March 1997, the band began to actively send demo tapes to various record companies in the hope of sealing a record deal. Mayday was greatly influenced by The Beatles, believing that rock had the power to change the world, and spread ideals of love and peace through their songs. In 1997, the band registered to perform at the Formoz Festival under the moniker Mayday. They were also actively involved in promoting the growing rock music trend in Taiwan.

After graduation, the members went to different universities but continued to perform in pubs and eateries. They were later joined by Masa and Stone, who were attending the same school.
