The song was composed by singer-songwriter Mars Anh Tú (Tu Dua) 3 years ago, with lyrics describing the image of a beautiful woman, walking leisurely in life, with a hidden spiritual strength to overcome all storms.
“Before, I often wrote about love and friendship, but then I thought I needed to write more about social topics. Around me, there are many women who are worthy of respect, they are not only good at housework but also successful in their careers. The Phoenix Wings was born because I wanted to pay tribute to women,” said Mars Anh Tu.

Mars Anh Tu also revealed that when he wrote this song, he thought of Tung Duong's voice.
Sharing about the MV, Tung Duong said: "Anh Tu brought me a very Tung Duong work, this is a song with a wide vocal range that helps me show off my voice. After songs like: Con co, Giang to, Me toi, Mua bay thap co... which are all songs symbolizing Vietnamese culture and people, this time "Canh chim phuong hoang" will be a follow-up song that I hope everyone will welcome."
According to the male singer, the song honors the phoenix with its ups and downs, difficulties, and challenges in life to overcome one day, with inner strength, from the symbol of female generals in history, heroic mothers, to contemporary women today. "I myself have loved mythological films since I was a child, growing up a fan of science fiction films... What is real life, other MVs have also talked a lot about, I want in this MV of mine, and the songs that have enough charm to sing, to include Vietnamese cultural elements, purely Vietnamese. Through things that are not real to talk about real aspirations. The mythological story is a bit surreal, that is Tung Duong's style" - Singer Tung Duong said.
Singer Tung Duong invited 5 famous women who have won the hearts of the public to participate in this music product. They are People's Artist Le Khanh, People's Artist Thanh Lam, Meritorious Artist - "peacock of the dance village" Linh Nga, Miss Ha Kieu Anh and Wushu athlete Thuy Hien, who won the Gold Medal at the World Wushu Championship in 1993 when she was only 14 years old.

“Vietnamese music divo” Tung Duong said “Canh chim phoenix” is an impressive opening for his very own new musical journey, constantly conquering new heights, dedicating music to everyone with all his dedication.
Tung Duong also expressed his joy at having the opportunity to invite Nguyen Truong Kien, CEO/Founder of Zodiac II Media - One of the leading MV/Advertising special effects companies in Ho Chi Minh City, which is also the company that performed all the special effects for the MV Canh Chim Phuong Hoang this time.
According to the male singer, to make this MV, director Nguyen Truong Kien (Zodiac II) and director Nguyen Huu Hoang had to seek inspiration from cultural and historical materials of Vietnam through many periods and then select the most symbolic images to bring them into the world of "fantastical Vietnam" in the MV.
In particular, director Nguyen Truong Kien, one of the influential people in the Vietnamese special effects industry, said: "I want to bring a completely new top-notch visual experience to Vietnamese MVs, especially for MV genres that use a lot of VFX/CGI effects when most people still think that we in Vietnam cannot do well."

In addition, the special effects team also gathered many famous talents in the graphics industry. The MV production team said that with 8 scenes, 114 shots with 100% advanced special effects, of which 95% of the shots were filmed on a green screen. The MV Canh Chim Phuong Hoang can be considered the MV with the largest amount of VFX (Visual Effect - visual effects) in Vietnam to date. The most important and impressive visual part is probably the Phoenix by Duy Nguyen, currently the Art Director of Riot Games (very famous for the famous games League of Legends, Valorant..) working in Singapore. He is also the one who shaped the visual details of the 8 worlds in Canh Chim Phuong Hoang. This MV took 5 months to complete the post-production with many special features appearing for the first time in a music video in Vietnam.
The space of this MV can be considered as a universe combining legendary elements with images typical of Vietnamese history and culture, such as bronze drums, phoenix images inspired by Lac birds, images of female heroes in Vietnamese history... There, the image of Vietnamese women is honored. And through that, the quintessence of Vietnamese culture and history is expressed delicately with great pride.
The climax of the MV is the image of Vietnamese women in all professions in society appearing together. Each audience can see the image of their grandmother, mother, sister, and younger sister in it, with all the beauty from simple to splendid. From them, radiates a legendary beauty, to sublimate in the image of a phoenix flying up brilliantly. All create an overwhelming ending full of emotions for the viewers.
MV Phoenix Wings
As a singer who constantly searches for new materials for his musical space, always opens up new musical streams, and is especially successful with epic, grandiose musical works, Tung Duong has added another outstanding song to his already dense performance catalog of outstanding works.
