In 2017, he launched the XXVII Project, releasing multiple digital singles and the album XXVII+ in September. The project earned him Album of the Year at the Asian Music Gala.

From 2020 onward, Lu Han released several standalone digital singles, appeared on variety shows, and shifted some focus toward acting.
Between 2020 and 2021, he continued the π Project with π-volume.3 and π-volume.4, releasing singles including “Dream Up (这就是我)” and “Slow Motion (慢慢)”.
In 2021, he released the studio album π: Ready To Play?, accompanied by the single “Gone With the Wind (风吹过)”, which sold nearly 2 million copies on Chinese digital music platforms.
In 2022 and 2023, Lu Han released several digital singles, including “Slow Ride (兜风)”, “Keep Me Alive”, “Crossing the Universe”, and “P.XyZ (漂向宇宙尽头)”. These songs charted on the TME UNI Charts in China, maintaining his presence in the digital music market.
