On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd, Nguyen Hung's song "What Could Be More Beautiful?" touched millions of hearts: "If the resistance war ends and I haven't returned yet / Mother, cheer up, you have a heroic son / He dedicated his youth to sowing freedom for the country / For me, that's all, what could be more beautiful...". Without a modern recording studio or an elaborately produced music video, singer Nguyen Hung, with his guitar, successfully performed "What Could Be More Beautiful?" at many major music events. And when "Red Rain" was released and swept the box offices, the song "What Could Be More Beautiful?" was even more warmly received by the public, thanks to Nguyen Hung's experience participating in the film.

Many people say singers Tran Tuan Hoa and Trieu Hong Ngoc were quite daring when they recently released a cover music video of the song "What Could Be More Beautiful?". Sharing her thoughts on this, singer Trieu Hong Ngoc expressed: "The first time I heard 'What Could Be More Beautiful,' I wondered how composer Nguyen Hung could write such a beautiful song? When I accepted the project, I was very worried because this isn't my forte. But I thought it was a very good song, so I wanted to give it a try. Even so, I didn't feel pressured because Nguyen Hung had previously performed it successfully. Everyone has their own unique style and voice, and I always try my best."
Meanwhile, singer Tran Tuan Hoa said that when he accepted the invitation to participate in the cover music video of "What Could Be More Beautiful?", he chose to listen to the song, feel it deeply, and convey the story with his own inspiration, breath, and experience. "While singing 'What Could Be More Beautiful?', there were parts where I had to stop because I was so moved. I hope that when people listen to this song again, especially the younger generation, they will feel the love for their homeland in a truly natural way. I hope this cover of 'What Could Be More Beautiful?' will be a warm embrace from the past to the present, so that wherever they are, Vietnamese people will still feel proud and warm-hearted when mentioning the two words: Vietnam," Tran Tuan Hoa shared.
Unlike Nguyen Hung's simple and unadorned version, the cover music video of "What Could Be More Beautiful?" opens with the gentle, peaceful melodies of the folk song "Floating Water Lilies and Drifting Clouds." Composer Vu Quang Trung, who handled the arrangement for "What Could Be More Beautiful," shared: "I divided the story into three parts. Part 1 is about peace , using the peaceful imagery of the Northern Delta countryside. That's why the folk melody 'Floating Water Lilies and Drifting Clouds' was used. Part 2 expresses patriotism, sacrifice, and struggle; I used rhythmic patterns, string orchestra, and drums. Part 3, with its spirit of peace, praise, and generational connection, combines images of children with folk music styles."
