This performance debuted on the Anh trai say hi concert stage at the 9th show on the evening of 18/4. The song was previously chosen by the group to compete in one round of the 2024 program, attracting tens of millions of views. Compared to the old version, they conceived the idea of performing on a hydraulic stage for a distinct presentation. The addition of props and an increased number of dancers also expanded the scale of the performance, making it suitable for an outdoor stage.
The three artists appeared to the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators. Hieu Thu Hai's rap segment and Duc Phuc's high notes were the highlights. To prepare for the performance, the singers spent many days rehearsing and doing full run-throughs. Duc Phuc said, "We are happy that the song was performed on a large stage, in front of a massive audience."
At the concert, Hieu Thu Hai – the program's champion and one of its most popular rappers – created a sensation among fans with several images. He took off his shirt to reveal his abs after performing Love Sand and wore cartoon-patterned shorts while singing Ngao ngo. At the end of the concert, he performed a solo of Nguoi im lang gap nguoi hay noi – a song that garnered attention upon its release in March.

Duc Phuc – a Best Five member of the program – energized the stage with multiple performances, including "Anh em goi la co mat ngay" featuring Quan A.P, Captain Boy, and Anh Tu, and "I'm Thinking About You" with Hung Huynh, Rhyder, and Wean. The organizers also arranged a special performance of "Phu Dong Thien Vuong" – the song that secured his victory at Intervision 2025 – to honor Vietnamese culture.
The ninth Anh trai say hi concert continued to attract tens of thousands of spectators. The organizers aimed to innovate by staging the show and creating content around the "Reply 2024" theme. Familiar songs from the show were re-arranged and re-orchestrated to keep the audience engaged.
