The song was a hit in 2007, associated with the male singer's name, now wearing a gentle new shirt with a nostalgic color. The MV is not only a spiritual gift for long-time fans, but also a door for young audiences to learn about the brilliant period of Vietnamese music in the 2000s.
In addition to the music, the highlight of the MV is the series of documentary images that were first published, recording Phan Dinh Tung's enthusiastic youth.
Notably, the photo when he first met his wife - actress Thai Ngoc Bich, on set for an old MV. Sharing his emotions about this memory, the male singer said that at that time, the two were still just colleagues, but that photo was kept by his wife as a precious souvenir.
The song's author - musician Nguyen Van Chung - also emotionally re-shared the story behind the song. When he first started his career, he sold the song "Sitting next to you" to Phan Dinh Tung for 1 million VND - a modest number but opened a successful start for both of them.
Phan Dinh Tung also revealed that he will continue to pursue the direction of renewing old songs in parallel with releasing new compositions. With the MV "Sitting next to you", the male singer said that he wants the audience who have accompanied him for many years to recall their youth memories in a new way, and also wants to introduce to young audiences about his persistent musical journey over many decades.
