state a lifetime for you was composed by Ken Quach and Huong MyBong, with 10% support from AI. After that, the song was performed by AI, played on YouTube and received a lot of views. As of October 14, the MV sung by AI has earned 9 million views.
The fact that a completely new song is sung by AI creates great curiosity in the music listening community, because this is a form of "virtual music" that is creating waves in the digital age.
The song did not need a huge promotional campaign but still spread strongly in coffee shops, shops, social networks... played as background music in hundreds of thousands of TikTok videos, creating a big fever.
Just the chorus "I'm drunk not for the reason, but for you, I love so much so I should forget..." became a trend widely used on TikTok and Facebook platforms, helping accounts attract millions of views.
Many people think that the melody has a lyrical content, a gentle blend of bolero and rumba, not too exaggerated, helping listeners easily "ingrain" into emotions.
The lyrics are familiar and easy to understand, evoking images, memories, and determination, especially the chorus that makes listeners recognize and sing along.
At a time when AI is widely applied in artistic creation, Say a generation for me became a typical example of AI implementing the space of music.
Before the "fever" of the song, Nguyen Vu expressed his desire to make the MV seriously, so Ken Quach and Huong MyBong both agreed to let him release the MV. However, the male singer affirmed that he was not the exclusive owner of the song.
The MV released by Nguyen Vu quickly received attention, received positive feedback, and created an step from cyberspace to the traditional music market.
Between the two versions of AI singing and Nguyen Vu performing, most of the audience agreed that human voice still brought more realistic and touching emotions.
In the version sung by AI, emotions are simulated using algorithms, so even though the sound is smooth and standard, listeners can easily recognize the absence of "real drops of love", the delicate vibration only in humans. AI's voice lacks shaking power, small changes in emotions or natural "unstoppable" moments that make the hearts of listeners unstable.
On the contrary, in the Nguyen Vu version, emotions are expressed through life experiences, real heart rate and breathing. Each line has a slight transformation, sometimes agitated, sometimes gentle, creating delicate silences that technology cannot repeat.
AI, despite its almost perfect technique, sometimes still has a complained feel - the sound is processed too smoothly, lacking softness and natural breathing. Ken Quach, the developer of the AI voice project, also admitted that: "AI still has limitations in understanding the language and emotions of each word".
Meanwhile, the singer's recordings are more flexible, natural and easier to reach the audience. In particular, real singers will have the advantage of performing live, appearing on stage, television and being well received by the media, helping the song reach a wide audience of traditional audiences.
Nguyen Vu once shared when making the MV: "AI can sing perfectly, no difference, but humans sing with emotions, with the heartbeat, that is the difference."
AI is fast, novel, easy to create effects, but the voice is harsh, inflexible and cannot convey deep affection. The audience needs breath, emotions, pain or happiness in singing - something AI cannot do. AI is just a supporting tool, it cannot replace artist voices, he added.
