The most popular Tet music song released this year is “Tet music king” Bui Cong Nam. This year, Bui Cong Nam collaborated with a number of artists to release a series of Tet music videos. According to statistics from YouNet Media, nearly 40% of Tet music videos in 2025 will feature Bui Cong Nam.

Opening the spring music this year, Bui Cong Nam collaborated with Tang Phuc to release the MV “Tet nay con lon roi” (This Tet, I’m big now) about the journey of growing up of a boy, accompanied and loved by his grandmother and family, with his promise “I will grow up quickly, grandma wait for me”. The MV features many famous artists, especially Meritorious Artist Ngoc Tan.

This is also the first time Bui Cong Nam and Tang Phuc have collaborated on a music product since the show. “Brother Overcomes a Thousand Thorns”. After about 1 month of release, the MV has reached more than 2.5 million views.

Another MV that left a new mark of Bui Cong Nam on the Tet music journey is “Tet Vao Ve”, in collaboration with Jun Pham and Dong Nhi. The MV tells the story of the journey of children and grandchildren working far away from home, not always successful, but the family is always a place with open arms waiting, because “Tet Vao Ve” is just hoping that the children will be healthy and step through the door, sitting at the family dinner table filled with laughter.

The MV was invested elaborately with many famous artists such as Ong Cao Thang and his wife Dong Nhi and baby Hannie, People's Artist Hong Van, Meritorious Artist Le Thien, Khoai Lang Thang, Huynh Lap... The characters all have depth and stories, combined with the voices of Dong Nhi, Jun Pham and Bui Cong Nam on the bright, clear music of Bui Cong Nam. The MV has currently reached 7.4 million views after 1 month of release.

In addition, Bui Cong Nam also collaborated with brands to produce a number of Tet music videos such as "Tet ve van iu", "Ve nha la co Tet", "Tet moi khoi sac". These MVs are all carefully invested, completely capable of standing alone as a separate music product. Bui Cong Nam's Tet music videos this year still follow a familiar theme that no matter how far away, successful or failed, everyone wants to return to reunite with their family during Tet, and the reunion Tet is the most fulfilling Tet for anyone.

Along with the Tet songs written separately or combined, Bui Cong Nam also wrote and participated in the MV "Tet Dinh Noc", the first solo music product of the group BOF, including 5 members from the program "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai": Jun Pham, Kay Tran, BB Tran, Bui Cong Nam and ST Son Thach.

“Tet Dinh Noc” is also inspired by stories about children who are far from home and return to their families during Tet. The MV is set in a train car, implying the trains returning to their hometowns and families during Tet. The MV currently has 1.1 million views.

“Tet Dinh Noc” is not only a joint performance of the 5 “thorny” talents, but also an opportunity for all 5 artists to show off their “packing their bags and going home” choreography, which later became the group’s signature every time they performed in different programs.

In addition to Bui Cong Nam, many other artists also released music products with Tet themes during the spring of At Ty. The most famous one is probably "Baby I miss home" by “prince” Soobin Hoang Son. The MV is a contrasting version of a person in adulthood and a youthful stage full of dreams and ambitions. No matter how far away, in the end, they still return to their family. The MV is the final part of the 8-year music project “Di de tro ve” and marks the maturity, as well as the brilliant shine of Soobin when he is in the prime of his career.

Another talented member of “Anh trai vu ngan cong gai” is Duy Khanh, who has also “debuted” on the Tet music scene with a lovely MV “Con ve roi”, with the joy of a child far from home returning to his mother. The song was written by Duy Khanh’s younger brother Quoc Thong, with youthful and fresh illustrations by Tanne Nio. “Con ve roi” is also the first musical product that the two brothers Duy Khanh-Quoc Thong have collaborated on, although each has had their own products or positions in their artistic journey.

One of the hottest Tet songs, which attracts the most attention from the audience, is “Khổ quá thì về em nước nước” (If you suffer too much, come back to your adoptive mother) by Noo Phước Thịnh, performed in collaboration with Phát Huy T4, as part of the Gala Nhạc Việt program. The song carries the mood of a child far from home, feeling tired and lost in the bustling city and the flow of work, just wishing to return to his family. The lyrics are also a message from Noo Phước Thịnh, that home is always the warmest place, always the place to welcome us back no matter what.

It can be seen that Tet reunion and family meals are always topics that young artists exploit and innovate, although this is a very familiar topic. Den Vau with "Vi Nha" has just been released and quickly entered the Top Trending Music on the Youtube platform.

“Vị Nhà” by Đen is also the story of a child away from home, missing the dishes his mother cooked, missing the gatherings with all the family members. “Vị Nhà”, like other MVs by Đen, are all carefully invested in from the images to the sound, the story in the MV. To date, after 3 weeks of release, “Vị Nhà” has reached more than 10 million views.

In the past, Tet was a race between cinemas, but in recent years, Tet music has also begun to have new competitions, with carefully crafted, beautiful music products, bringing humane and meaningful messages to the audience. And no matter who wins, who leads this race, the audience still benefits the most when they get to enjoy quality music products.
