In early 2026, many audiences referenced the song "Duoc" for its message of positivity, inspiring an optimistic and contented lifestyle. On TikTok, the song garnered thousands of uses for videos about the new year. On social media platforms, some audiences used lyrics such as "To live one lifetime, peace is enough. Much or little money, enough to eat is enough" to express their feelings and aspirations.
Several artists, including singer Thanh Thao, actors Trung Ruoi, Truong Giang, and Miss Khanh Van, chose "Duoc" for their videos, helping the song reach a wider public. "I find the melody gentle and cheerful, and the lyrics are meaningful, aligning with my own philosophy of life," Thanh Thao said.
The track also serves as background music for many users' dance videos, travel vlogs, and family-themed content. After nearly one month since its release, the song has accumulated over 1,4 million views on YouTube.
"Duoc" is an adaptation of the poem "Binh an la duoc" (Peace is enough), featuring simple, relatable verses that encourage a lighthearted perspective on life. The author of the poem is currently unknown, though some sources attribute it to Buddhist poetry.
Quach Anh Thao, 48, produced "Duoc" using AI technology. Originally from a marketing background, he developed a passion for music composition. Previously, his uploaded songs like "Say mot doi vi em" and "Sam" also received acclaim. He stated that completing AI songs takes about one week. To ensure quality products, he combines multiple artificial intelligence tools, incurring costs of approximately 4-5 million VND per month.
The use of AI for music covers and compositions has recently flourished in the Vietnamese music scene. AI-sung Trinh music videos on the YouTube channel Nhac tinh AI and lyrical music on the YouTube channel Tung Chan Son have also garnered audience interest. Among these, the song "Mua chieu" boasts 6,3 million views.
Many anonymous channels upload AI-generated videos, achieving hundreds of thousands of views. Additionally, some public entities openly integrate AI applications into their music production.
