This is a product released right before the 45th birthday of the male rapper, as a moment of silence for him to look back on his journey of being a child, a person and a father after many years of persistence with music.
Proud to be a child" is the fourth song composed by musician Pham Viet Hoang specifically for Dinh Tien Dat in the EP I: 30. Contrary to the personal, contemplative and sometimes edgy colors in previous songs, the song carries a gentle, close ballad spirit, focusing on the theme of family. Slow melody, simple lyrics with familiar images such as father, mother, home and years of silently accompanying children help the song be easy to listen to, easy to touch and suitable for many audiences.
Sharing about choosing "Proud to be a child" as the EP ending song, Dinh Tien Dat said he wants to close "I: 30" with a familiar and positive emotion. After a long musical journey throughout 2025, instead of a climax or drama, the male rapper chose a song with a family spirit - where every journey returns.
The song is also dedicated by him to his two children, as a way to look back at his role: from a child who grew up thanks to his parents, to a father who learns to love and accompany his child.
According to Dinh Tien Dat, the song "Proud to Be a Child" is not only a thank you to parents, but also an opportunity for him to express his feelings to his family in the simplest way. This layer of meaning of life helps the song have depth, but still maintains a warm spirit, not heavy sadness.
The male rapper wants the song to be able to resonate in very everyday moments: when returning home, when resting or when listeners need to find a musical space with family breath.
