Sharing about the process of composing this song, Professor Nguyen Anh Tri said that he had been thinking about this song for more than 3 years. “When the melody rang in my head, it took me less than 30 minutes to finish writing the song. Perhaps the long-suppressed emotions came at the right time,” the musician said.

However, to complete it, he struggled with many details, "just one word in the chorus made me think for a long time to fully convey the spirit of national pride". The author said that when the singers received the music, they sang with all their passion, as a strong urge and encouragement that gave him the idea to make this MV.
