. Beyond's first album as a trio in that era was ''2nd Floor Back Suite'' (二樓後座), released on June 4, 1994. This album pays tribute towards the deceased Ka Kui with "Paradise" by Paul, the instrumental "We Don't Wanna Make It Without You" composed by the band, "Scar" and "Wishing You Happiness" by Ka Keung. Ka Keung sang "Wake Up", composed by the trio as well to express how Hong Kong fans are blindly supporting singers during their era which stirred up controversy. They have also written the sweet melody song "There Is Always Love" to their fans as a gift of appreciation for supporting them throughout the years. A month later after ''2nd Floor Back Suite'' was released, the Mandarin version of the album was released titled ''Paradise''. They have also released their third Japanese album under the title ''Second Floor'', however rest of the track are the same as the Cantonese album with the exception being "Paradise" have been rewritten into Japanese. In 1997 the album ''Please Let Go of Your Hands'' also made a reference to Hong Kong's cultural changes after the handover of Hong Kong to China. At this time, Paul Wong and Steve began to clash in many aspects of music production. Both musicians fought over the band's future and artistic style whilst slowly drifting apart. This came to a head after Paul claimed that his pay should be higher than that of Yip Sai Wing, as he believed that he had contributed much more to the band's composing and producing. The band had been splitting earnings equally since Wong Ka Kui had formed the band in 1983, and Steve believed that Paul's claims to money were in direct violation of the band's sense of equality which had made them so powerful to begin with. In November 1999, the three remaining Beyond members announced that they would pursue their own solo career after a world tour. In 2003 for the band's 20th anniversary, they came out to embark on a world tour. The tour included stops in
