The first season of the Chinese reality talent show Sing! China premiered on 15 July 2016 on Zhejiang Television. The show is loosely based on a similar competition format in the Netherlands, The Voice of Holland. The show is hosted by Li Yong. Jay Chou, Na Ying, Wang Feng, and Harlem Yu are the coaches.
On 7 October 2016, Jiang Dunhao of Team Wang Feng was announced as the winner of the season, with Nathan Hartono of Team Jay as runner-up. Wang Chenrui of Team Na Ying, Xu Geyang of Team Wang Feng, Yang Meina of Team Harlem, and Jeryl Lee of Team Na Ying finished in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place respectively.
The taping of the blind auditions began on 19 June 2016.
The four coaches performed a medley of each other's songs – Na Ying performed Harlem Yu's "只有为你", Wang Feng performed Jay Chou's "安静", Yu performed Na's "不管有多苦", and Chou performed Wang's "满" – and concluded the performances with Chou's "我要夏天".
Da Shan, Tan Xuanyuan and Ika Zhao, artists from Team Harlem on the previous seasons of The Voice of China, performed "我要给你" at the start of the show to celebrate Yu's 55th birthday.
Host Li Yong performed a medley of songs by the four coaches – Wang's "春天里", Yu's "情非得已", Na's "征服", and Chou's "听妈妈的话" – at the start of the show.
In this revamped version of the show, the Battle and Knockout rounds from The Voice franchise were combined and rebranded as the "Fighting rounds". The battling element from the Battle rounds – two artists paired together for a duet – did not return due to copyright concerns from show's producers. Only the concept from the Knockout rounds were kept and presented in the Fighting rounds – an artist performing a solo song against another artist from their own team, with their respective coach picking the winner among the two to advance to the Playoff rounds. The Fightings episodes were aired on 19, 26 August and 2, 9 September 2016.
