The Pinnacle: Top 10 Songs Defining Khởi My's Fame

After her school singing days, Khởi My seemed to disappear from the stages, quietly awaiting the promising debut song. It wasn't until 2009 that she returned to television as the MC of a show on Yeah1TV. In 2010, she officially introduced the song 'Why,' marking the rise of the singer and serving as a turning point in her successful career today. In that year, the song 'Why' was everywhere.

All amusement parks, theaters, bus stops, and cafes played this song. At that time, the song was like a breath of fresh air in the Vietnamese music market. With lyrics close to the youth, Khởi My shared that the song was inspired by a friend's love story—a swift and unexplained breakup. The song received numerous prestigious awards across various charts.

Also debuting in 2011, 'Compassion' seems to share similarities with Khởi My's previous songs. The coincidence is that her first three songs all have a two-word title and were equally popular at that time. The lyrics express the painful self-blame of not deserving the love of the partner and agreeing to let go.

The meaning of the two words 'compassion' is a plea for the boy not to continue sympathizing and reluctantly loving the girl. The message is to ask the lover not to torment themselves but to be happy with a new love and forget the months of happiness they once shared. Because compassionate love cannot make the one sympathized happy. It's like a reminder to many blind relationships. The song creates a great effect in Khởi My's song series. (Not recommended for those going through heartbreak to listen to this song).

In 2011, Khởi My collaborated with Hoàng Rapper to release the song 'Night Crying.' The duo Khởi My and Hoàng Rapper once again gained great popularity due to their harmony in works and the widespread influence of the song. This song dominated the market with its youthful and familiar image, bringing Khởi My closer to the audience.

The sad lyrics and the girl's nostalgia for the boy after the breakup continue to resonate with many female fans, captivated by the intimacy and the all-too-familiar image. The song acted as a stepping stone in Khởi My's professional singing career. 'Night Crying' is one of the melancholic songs in Khởi My's debut album collection. Khởi My's image has matured in the eyes of the audience, no longer the 17-year-old girl participating in the school singing contest but a promising young singer.

Ex-Lover is the song that follows the story of Send to Him, eagerly anticipated by Khởi My's fans. While fans expected a happy ending for the talented boy Khánh and the poor girl Khởi My, the story took an unexpected turn. Despite the anticipation, the song Ex-Lover did not dominate the market as expected, leaving fans unsatisfied.

After the beautiful love story and overcoming many obstacles, My chose Long, the friend who had always been by her side, as her lover. When introducing the song as 'Ex-Lover,' the audience was somewhat disappointed because the song title indicated the ending for Kelvin Khánh - the Ex-Lover. Despite the dissatisfaction with the ending, the audience wholeheartedly supported the song, bringing it to the nominations of many prestigious charts. Nevertheless, the MV for this song still has over 15 million views.

2013 was a year of great success for Khởi My as she continuously brought home prestigious awards. She won the first prize in the Familiar Face competition Season 1 and the Music Video of the Year award at the Zing Music Awards for the MV musical film Send to Him. Send to Him marked Khởi My's comeback after a 2-year hiatus from the music scene. The excellent song, combined with the concept of the short film MV, brought a fresh and sensational feeling to the audience at that time.

In addition to the music in the song, the MV was also an important factor that helped her win the MV of the Year award, with the Send to Him MV on YouTube reaching over 53 million views. It also showcased the name of Kelvin Khánh (La Thăng), illustrating Khởi My's MV and causing fans to be excited about the beauty and coolness of the rich young man Văn Khánh. This song opened up a new turning point for Khởi My, bringing her closer to the audience after many years of singing. The song has excellently left a mark in the hearts of the audience.

Where Are You is a song that will surely capture your heart upon first listen. The light and gentle Pop melody, coupled with the heart-wrenching lyrics, deeply resonate with the listeners. When Khởi My acquired the song from composer Phan Hoàng Tâm, she decided to rearrange and remake it due to its exceptionally beautiful lyrics.

One of Khởi My's revelations while remaking this song was that the original composer called her in tears when the MV was released, as it perfectly mirrored a story he had experienced, and the emotions that inspired him to write the song. The musical harmony and empathy in the lyrics brought tears to the eyes of countless audiences. Thanks to this, Khởi My received the 'Artist of the Year' award at the Mai Vàng Awards and the Favorite Song of March award for the song 'Where Are You.'

Alone is a completely fresh song from Khởi My after 6 years in the music industry. Marking this transition, in May 2015, she released the vibrant and youthful song Alone, departing from her usual soft and profound style and introducing a new and lively sound.

Collaborating with composer Nguyễn Đình Vũ, this song once again delighted fans with its youthful lyrics and dynamic music. Khởi My has consistently reinvented herself in recent years, always seeking the support of her dedicated fanbase. In addition to its energetic music, Alone also features captivating choreography, earning praise for both its audio and visual appeal.

Sunshine and Rain is a song released in 2016. It is a duet between Khởi My and Kelvin Khánh, the adorable couple of the Vietnamese showbiz. Despite many plans for this song composed by musician Bảo Thạch, all arrangements were canceled due to some unforeseen issues, with Khởi My jokingly saying, 'Ran out of money to make the MV.' The song remained on hold until almost the end of 2016, when it was finally unveiled with a visual MV.

Even with the delay, it was enough to satisfy fans with the cute and sweet lyrics, bringing a feeling of happiness to couples in love. The song quickly climbed various charts due to its cuteness and unexpected success.

This is a song composed by Kelvin Khánh and performed by Khởi My along with rapper Vy Dương. The track, rumored to be created by Khánh, has captured the fascination of netizens due to their intimate connection. The song reflects the regret of bygone years and reminisces about the beautiful love in the past.

Every time longing for a reunion with a beautiful memory of the intense love they once shared. Khởi My took special care and dedicated a lot of time to complete and present this song, making it the most anticipated release in recent times. She cleverly incorporated Andersen's fairy tale into the music video, attracting viewers. You won't regret listening to this song.

'Adorable' is a song composed by musician Bảo Thạch that has garnered significant attention from the online community. Khởi My's 'Adorable' quickly won the hearts of fans as the song is dedicated to women. The internet saw a plethora of covers and reinterpretations, escalating the song's popularity.

According to Khởi My, the widespread acceptance of 'Adorable' is because every girl desires to be adorable in the eyes of others. For women, being adorable is a privilege of beauty. Comedian Trường Giang teased Khởi My, joking that she has to be 'adorable' because she lacks 'beauty.'
