Sharing with Dan Viet , musician and singer Ha Anh said: "Xiri is a quite lively and playful young girl, so we want our first MV to accurately represent her image in real life.

We decided to use Stephen Chow's films as the basis for our visuals. When we watched many of Stephen Chow's films, we realized that Xiri looked a lot like the mute candy girl in Kung Fu Hustle , so we discussed using this film as the main content and connecting other films to create our own story. After discussing with Xiri, she was very excited because she was also a fan of Stephen Chow's comedies, so we started working on it right away."

The male musician also revealed that to invest in the MV "Wait for me to grow up" , the crew had to spend up to half a billion VND.
