Short Hair" was released in 1998, when My Linh was only 23 years old. "Tóc ngắn" was taken as My Linh's album name, and was the inspiration for My Linh for many years afterwards.
Short Hair" became the opening album for the series of short hair album projects throughout My Linh's career and the crew lasting up to 13 years, through the albums Short Hair 2: Still Waiting (2002), Short Hair Acoustic: One Day (2011).
The success of "Short Hair" goes beyond the limits of a song or an album, has become a symbol of My Linh's music career, and has become a symbol of image and image for My Linh until now.
When released in 1998, the hit "Short Hair" with a combination of R&B, Soul and Funk brought a new breeze to the market that favors pop, pop ballad, and rock.
The lyrics, music, and message of "Short Hair" have inspired a large audience, especially female audiences. Many people have cut their hair, have short hair like My Linh, and the lyrics "Why do you have long hair, let me be like so many people" have become a new "slogan" for young people.
Short hair" has created a personal brand, a personal image for My Linh, and also marked a cultural phenomenon of the late 1990s.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporters, young singer My Anh shared that she is always proud to be the daughter of My Linh - Anh Quan couple.
My Anh witnessed many songs her father (Anh Quan) composed for her mother (My Linh), heard many times throughout her years of growing up, and if she could choose a song that left the most impression, My Anh would choose "Short Hair".
As a daughter of my parents, I witnessed the process of songs being born. I love all the songs. But if I had to choose, I would choose "Short Hair" as my favorite, most impressive song.
When I was young, I listened to my mother perform this song many times. But perhaps, it's only now that I have truly connected with the message of the song. "Short Hair" talks about being yourself and not being afraid of being different.
That song also inspired me to be myself. That is the way for me to shine, be happy and enjoy everything. What I like most, learn the most, and perhaps be most like my mother, is, not afraid to be myself" - My Anh said.
Mentioning her father's similarities, My Anh said, "I think I'm a bit like my parents, each person. The calmness, contemplation, maybe like my father. As for my personality of not being afraid to try and not being afraid of differences, I see it as similar to both my father and mother. My parents have that personality and I also take that as motivation for myself not to be afraid to try new things. If I'm more afraid, I have to try and push myself to the limit.
Normally, I don't think too much about who I look like or who I don't look like. I know I will have similarities and also differences compared to my parents.
My Anh currently has a tour in 3 cities in the US. My Anh's full name is Truong My Anh, born in 2002, in Hanoi.
