Recently, Sy Luan attracted attention when he participated in the "Challenge the Limits" program, recreating the song "You Are Just the Shadow of Someone Else" - a composition that helped singer Lam Vu establish his name in the early 2000s.
Sy Luan stated that throughout his 30-year artistic career, he has always been selective about who he gives his self-composed songs to, rather than selling them.

Sỹ Luân's concerns
Sỹ Luân stated that throughout his nearly 30-year career, he has never sold a song, always choosing to give them away to suitable singers. For him, music is about sharing rather than exchanging. "In the past, Lâm Vũ and I were close friends, so we understood each other's voices and wrote songs that suited us. This is a fairly successful song, covered by many people," Sỹ Luân shared.
According to him, gifting songs stems not only from friendship but also from a desire to help young singers define their style and have more opportunities to reach audiences. He believes that when a song helps a singer become memorable, the songwriter also receives the greatest joy – the feeling that the work has a life of its own.
He said that music reflects the breath of life and the times. Therefore, some listeners from the 80s generation might find Gen Z music difficult to understand, while younger people might not feel the connection to older music.

Many singers have become famous for their renditions of Sy Luan's songs, such as Luong Bich Huu ( "Chinese Girl" ), Hong Ngoc ( "Deer Eyes Cha Cha Cha "), and the group GMC ( "Dream of a Love "). The songwriter said that before sending a song, he always carefully studies the vocal style of each singer to choose the most suitable performer. If he cannot find a harmony, he will perform the song himself, a prime example being the song "1, 2, 3 Stars ".
Having been involved in music for nearly three decades, Sy Luan observes that audience tastes change rapidly, but creative emotion remains the core value. He believes that music always reflects life and each generation has its own taste. For him, the important thing is that the work retains the spirit of the time it was created.
"Music reflects the breath of life, of the times. So, some 80s generation listeners might find Gen Z music difficult to understand, while younger people might not feel the connection to older music. That's perfectly normal. Music will always have timeless masterpieces, and I hope to contribute to society a color and rhythm that accurately reflects that moment in our lives," Sy Luan confided about his current concerns.
