In recent days, the new product of musician Nguyen Van Chung in collaboration with singer Tung Duong continues to prove that among countless "hit-making formulas", sincere music still has its own way to reach hope, faith and pride.
Spreading Vietnamese pride to the community
Without flaunting slogans, the MV “Vietnam – Proudly Stepping Forward to the Future” chose to record familiar slices of today’s life: the smiles of children, the bustling pace of work on the typical streets of Hanoi , the flag fluttering in the sacred flag-raising ceremony, new constructions rising high, the strip of land with “golden forests and silver seas” from mountains to islands… It is the simplicity that creates a genuine flow of emotions, making viewers, whether in urban or rural areas, young or middle-aged, all anchored at the same “address” called: “sympathy and pride”.
On that basis, the song penetrates the listener's mind with a bright melody and clear structure. The chorus "Strengthening Vietnam" is written in a "call-response" style, creating a highlight that is easy to sing along to in schoolyards, offices, flag-raising ceremonies or community activities, even on social networks like TikTok.
That spread also comes from “real” emotions. Nguyen Van Chung maintains a simple writing style: “Love the voice where I live”, “Love the sacred blood of Lac Hong”, “Independence - Freedom”… are familiar yet suggestive keywords. Not getting lost in the narrative, the song focuses on the present and the future: “entering the new era”, “proudly continuing our steps”, “redrawing the country” to invite listeners to step into the role of the subject “we”.
When each individual is named in a common picture, the feeling of pride becomes concrete: close, real and capable of transforming into action, into a desire that urges us to move forward towards a bright tomorrow for our country.

On the other hand, Tung Duong’s voice is the piece that elevates the whole. He chose to use his inner strength but restrained, keeping the words clear, the sound bright, and the transition between calm and climax smoothly. The technical emphasis on the high notes at the end of the song creates an emotional “cap” effect, but does not “override” the overall message.
This is Tung Duong’s version of stage endurance but close to the general audience, especially the younger generation: standard vocals, modern in phrasing and “open” enough for the audience to sing along. The skillful handling is the key factor that helps the song spread easily on social networks because it is easy to remember, easy to cover, compatible with short formats such as reel or short.
For the visual part, the director chose “heroic” material to honor the festival spirit but still maintain the mass entertainment rhythm. Wide-angle and close-up shots, neat editing, emotional points of view such as the flag-raising ceremony, the bright red flag, the moment when the community is all looking towards the same rhythm, help the MV to be “read” quickly and easy to share. That is the modern way of making MV: respecting each person’s small story, then “stitching” it together into a big story of the whole, of the country.

In a simple yet sophisticated way, the MV “Vietnam – Proud to Follow the Future” evokes a positive and easily spread energy of hope for the future, belief in the resilience of the country, and pride in the Vietnamese roots. It can be said that, with an impressive number of more than 2 million views after 5 days of release and topping many charts (#1 Youtube Music Vietnam Daily Chart; #1 Zing Chart Realtime; #1 ZingMP3 New Music Chart), the level of repetition, singing along and use in the community over the past few days is a measure of the vitality of a bright holiday MV.
Young people's musical declaration of the spirit of progress in the new era
“'Vietnam - Proudly Stepping Forward to the Future' was born as the voice of today's generation: those who inherit the legacy of peace , and at the same time shoulder the responsibility of creating a rising Vietnam.
The music is designed as a journey: starting with bright and fresh Pop/EDM, close to the ears of young people, each rhythm is pushed up, associated with the feeling of "moving forward", and the climax is dotted with violin and symphonic elements - just solemn enough to affirm the common will, without losing the modernity. It is this combination that makes the song both have a calling spirit and reflect the pulse of the digital age.
That is the heartbeat of a Vietnam that is in the days of strong growth. There are changes, there are “revolutions”, there is the continuation of the tradition of the ancestors through the specific actions and expertise of young people in the new era. Each person chooses a way to continue the journey of development of the country. And music, in this case, is the glue that binds different paths into a common beat of national pride.

“Vietnam - Proudly Stepping Forward to the Future” combines all three elements of a vibrant entertainment MV: right timing, right message, right way of telling. The sincerity in the melody and images helps the song become a positive reminder for the holiday season: pride is not only in memories, but in every step that continues today. And the parallel musical path of musician Nguyen Van Chung and Divo Tung Duong shows a familiar formula that never gets old: just be “real”, the rest is up to the audience to decide.
