In the MV Friendship, Den Vau stays true to his familiar simple style. The video is not elaborate in terms of setting or props but has a unique metaphorical image: A man pulls a boat through the vast sand dunes.
The MV also interweaves images of each band member, combined with the image of a girl dancing gracefully in a clear blue lake to symbolize a free soul, longing to connect with everyone.
Besides the meaningful message, the audience commented that the song has interesting lyrics. In the rap line “ Like Remi and Mattia, rushing into life and traveling together”, Den Vau mentioned the classic literary work Sans Famille (author Hector Malot), using the image of the boy Remi and his friend Mattia who always help each other to express a beautiful friendship.
In another rap verse: "Don't want to be Don Quixote, must rush into life alone", Den Vau used the lonely image of the poor nobleman Don Quixote in the novel Don Quixote - The Ingenious Nobleman of La Mancha (author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra) to talk about the journey without trustworthy companions.

Talking about the inspiration for composing the song, Den Vau said that friendship plays an important role in his life. In his artistic journey, the male rapper was fortunate to receive help from many friends around him. He wanted to honor the value of friendship, and at the same time send a message to the loved ones around him.
“Some people helped me with their strength, some with their encouragement, and some with their enthusiasm when they started working. Looking back, I see that if it weren’t for those friends, my path would have been very different,” said the rapper.
Den Vau also shared his own thoughts when composing Friendship: “There was a lot of fatigue, a lot of wrong decisions, luckily I had friends by my side to remind and encourage me. Those are the things I feel in my musical journey. Having friends who accompany and help each other progress is a truly lucky thing in life.”
