The content of this MV was interleaved between footage of Em Chưa 18 and images of OnlyC performing the lyrics of the song by his hands. The idea to record the hand lyrics was given by Lê Thanh Sơn who is the director of Em Chưa 18. He said that emotion can be easy to understand when using the vocal but using acts and eyes are harder to feel. Once they can understand the feeling by acts and eyes, it is more meaningful and honest.

Both the lyrics, melody and images of this music video touch the heart of fans so it’s easy to get 47 million views within only a month and 100 million views after 10 months of its release. This is the second Ost reached 100 million views on YouTube (Vietnam) after the song “Bống Bống Bang Bang”.
