List of S.H.E covers and parodies

S.H.E is a Taiwanese girl group that specializes in pop music, and is also known to have covered many songs during their musical career. Of the 90 songs the group has sung, 28 of those are covers. Occasionally, S.H.E samples music from other works, including classical and folk pieces.

In earlier S.H.E albums, nearly half of the tracks were cover songs; however, as the group's career progressed, cover songs were produced less frequently. This trend continued until the release of FM S.H.E (2008), which had four covers, the most in an S.H.E album since 2002. Although Sweetbox's "Chyna Girl" and "More Than Love" are more widespread in the Western world, they were, in fact, preceded by "Super Star" and "I Love You," respectively. HIM International Music hired Geo for both works. Among the artists whose songs were covered by S.H.E, Sweetbox has been covered most frequently, leading the way with six songs.
