The new song, composed by the band's bass guitarist Tang Xuan Kien, draws inspiration from his own unfulfilled relationships. According to the musician, some relationships, even if incomplete, leave behind beautiful memories, marking a period of youth. Therefore, the song does not carry a melancholic tone but rather a gentle spirit, offering a peaceful perspective on past experiences. The image of summer is used as a metaphor for youth – a vibrant stage filled with journeys and first-time experiences.

Set in a fishing village, the music video portrays the love journey of a young couple from childhood through adulthood to old age. Their love story is intertwined with sandy shores, fishing boats, and ocean waves. The crew created a wedding scene on a boat, serving as a highlight for the music video. This imagery symbolizes the simple happiness of people living in coastal regions.
DuongK, the producer behind hits such as Nguoi mien nui chat (Double2T) and Khi con mo dan phai (Tez), was responsible for the keyboard parts and sound engineering. He expressed excitement about collaborating with a rock icon of Vietnam. "When participating in the music video production, I wanted to introduce new musical colors while preserving the band's free, powerful, and emotional spirit," DuongK stated.

"Di ve phia mua he" is the third song Buc Tuong has introduced this year, following "Thang 3" and "Tren dinh gio". They plan to release a new album and organize a liveshow later this year.
Buc Tuong is considered a "rock legend" in the country. To date, they have released 7 studio albums: Tam hon cua da (2001), Vo hinh (2003), Nam cham (2004), Ngay khac (2010), Dat Viet (2014), and Can bang (2023).
During the 1990s-2000s, the band resonated with generations of students through songs like "Duong den ngay vinh quang", "Bong hong thuy tinh", and "Mat den". In 2014, with the album "Dat Viet", they experimented with singing "stories about Vietnamese people from the dawn of time". The band has frequently combined powerful rock with folk influences in works such as "Hoa ban trang" and "Men say".
In 2016, fans mourned the passing of Tran Lap, who played a significant role in shaping Buc Tuong's musical style and image. He composed many songs and was the band's lead vocalist. Following this event, they decided to continue their activities, with guitarist Tran Tuan Hung taking over as leader. The band has collaborated with vocalists like Pham Anh Khoa, Duong Tran Nghia, and Viet Lam. In 2021, they were featured by the American music magazine Billboard as the first rock artists to achieve success in Vietnam.
