Composition

edit

The song was composed and arranged by the group DTAP and takes inspiration from the culture of the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam.[6][7][8] Thùy Linh commented that the song was inspired by her first time falling in love as a teenager.[9] The song was written in two hours and recorded in just two days.[10] "See Tình" is a pun on the Vietnamese word "si tình", which means "to fall in love" or "madly in love".[8][9][11]

The song is described as having a disco-pop and dance-pop style[12] and has a retro vibe with a pentatonic-sounding chorus that takes the listener along the West River with a cải lương piece.[8][9]

Music video

edit
 
The music video's setting is inspired by the Cái Răng floating market.[8][12]

The music video for "See Tình" was directed by Kawaii Tuấn Anh and written by Minh Châu.[6][12] The video's fashion stylist was Hoàng Ku.[6][8][13] The video narratively follows the video for "Gieo Quẻ", the first single from the album Link, which was released on 1 January 2022.[6][14][15]

The director opted for a Western Vietnamese setting with simple colors complementing the lyrics of the song, a difference from the northern setting in Linh's previous music videos.[12][14] The video made extensive use of CGI, as about 75% of the scenes were recorded on a green screen, and processing time took up to three months. The video's plot is about a mermaid (Linh) who confesses her love to a boy who works as a rug seller.[9][12] Vietnamese singer Isaac Phạm makes a guest appearance at the end of the video.[8][12]

edit

"See Tình" became globally popular through its use of the remix by Cukak on the video sharing service TikTok, in which users would post themselves dancing to the song.[16][17]
