She rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of Taiwanese girl group S.H.E. The release of her debut album, To Hebe (2010), established her as a solo artist. Tien's song "A Little Happiness", the theme song of the 2015 Taiwanese film Our Times, was a major hit in most Mandarin-speaking parts of Asia.

Tien Fuchen was born in Xinfeng, Hsinchu, Taiwan on 30 March 1983. Her father is a civil servant, her mother is a housewife, and her older brother used to own an American-Mexican restaurant in Zhubei. She is of Hakka descent. She graduated from Hukou High School in Hsinchu. Tien once said that if she had not been a singer, she would have been a civil servant like her father after university. In 1999, at age sixteen, Tien made her debut on television by participating in the 'Ridiculous Beauty' segment of the CTV variety show Guess where she played flute and another show TV Citizen where she showcased her singing talent and won 10,000 NTD.

Shortly after Tien's appearance on the show TV Citizen, the production team invited her to participate on the show again and was scouted by Grand Music International (currently HIM International Music) for an audition. On 8 August 2000, HIM International Music held the "Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest" in search of new artists to be signed onto their label. The staff of the TV show "Cruel Stage" encouraged Tien to participate in this televised competition. The contest had about 1,000 contestants, and after several rounds of competition, seven contestants remained for the final round. In the first round, Tien's voice began to crack while singing "Return Home". As a result, she decided to sing in a lower key in the final round, choosing Singaporean singer Kit Chan's "Loving You". However, she was unfamiliar with the song so about ten seconds of the final lyrics went unsung. Following the competition, the Taiwanese record company gave all seven contestants an audition. The show's manager appreciated her straightforward personality and powerful vocals. As a result, Tien was invited to become a member of S.H.E, with Selina and Ella, and was signed under the Taiwanese record label HIM International Music.

Following a very successful career with S.H.E, Tien debuted as a solo music artist in 2010. In September, she received critical acclaim for her debut album To Hebe. In May 2011, the album was nominated for four awards in the 22nd Golden Melody Awards. It won Best Music Video for "Leave Me Alone" and Best Single Producer for "LOVE!". The album was also selected for the Top Ten Albums by the Association of Music Workers in Taiwan and her song "LOVE!" was chosen for the Top Ten Singles. In September 2011, Tien launched her second album My Love. The album's song "Still in Happiness" reached 10 million views on YouTube, making Tien the first Chinese-language female singer whose music video garnered 10 million views. On 21 January 2013, "Leave Me Alone" from her first album also reached 10 million views on YouTube, making Tien the first Chinese-language singer who have 2 music videos with more than 10 million views on the platform. In May 2012, My Love is the most nominated work at the 23rd Golden Melody Awards, receiving a total of seven nominations including Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Album and Best Music Video for her song "My Love".

The music video reached one million views on YouTube within four days and the album sold 40,000 copies in Taiwan within a week.
