In the music video, Xe Xe performs the song with an innocent style, while Tung Duong delivers it with a powerful voice. The child rapper also includes a rap segment, which features lines such as: "In the heart, a pink flame ignites. Carrying patriotism like rice fields stretching across the land. Protecting our nation, preserving the homeland like Thanh Giong. I bow my head in gratitude to our ancestors who endured years of hardship."

Composer Pham Tuyen appears in several scenes within his home, dedicating the song to Xe Xe. According to singer Tung Duong, the participation of three generations of artists in the music video symbolizes the continuation of patriotic traditions and pride in the homeland.
Cao Thanh Thao My crafted the arrangement, giving it a youthful, modern feel with a dominant trap rhythm, complemented by traditional Vietnamese flute and dan tranh sounds. This approach helps the song retain its Vietnamese identity while resonating with young audiences. The music video was primarily filmed at the Vietnam Military History Museum.

Composer Pham Tuyen wrote "nhu co bac trong ngay dai thang" in 4/1975. On 28/4/1975, upon hearing the news of pilot Nguyen Thanh Trung's successful bombing raid on Tan Son Nhat airport, Pham Tuyen was moved by the premonition of imminent victory. That night, to avoid disturbing his sleeping wife and children, he went to the hallway to reflect.
On 30/4/1975, journalist Tran Lam, then Editor-in-Chief of Voice of Vietnam Radio, called Pham Tuyen and asked, "The day of liberation is here, do you have any works? I'll broadcast it on the radio." Artists Tuyet Thanh and Dang Hung later performed the lead vocals, with composer Cao Viet Bach conducting the orchestra.
For many years, the song has resonated during anniversaries and major events. Poet Tran Dang Khoa once remarked, "The song is like a joyful cheer from people of all ages and walks of life. Both the melody and lyrics are very simple." Last year, Pham Tuyen donated the copyright and manuscript of the work to Nhan Dan newspaper.
