Setting new records in Vpop with 200 million, 300 million views, by January 20, after nearly 6 years and 6 months of release, Bống bống bang bang continues to reach 554 million views on Youtube. This is the only Vpop MV to achieve this milestone on the largest video platform globally. Many internet users jokingly attribute this proud achievement to the enthusiastic view farming by children and parents. In family meals, parents often play this song to entertain children. Moreover, in entertainment areas for children, Bống bống bang bang is always the top song on the playlist to attract the attention of little ones.

This has made both iconic songs popular among children, and it is no exaggeration to say that Bống bống bang bang is a Vietnamese version of Baby Shark. Amidst a music market filled with love songs, Bống bống bang bang brings a breath of fresh air with a completely different theme. Its lively melody combined with a hint of folk tunes and simple, innocent lyrics quickly capture the hearts of audiences of all ages, especially new mothers who are very fond of this children's song.
In the MV, the 4 handsome members of the 365 group wear colorful traditional costumes based on the characters Tí, Dần béo, Cả Mẹo... from the familiar Vietnamese comic Thần đồng đất Việt from childhood.
