1. Because I'm Still Alive - Tien Tien
This hit song by Tien Tien became a sensation in Vpop 2015. It is considered an anthem for young people, encouraging them to appreciate life’s blessings and strive to live better every day.
"Back then, I was naive and often criticized myself for being foolish.
Not knowing what to do, not understanding what I needed, not knowing who I was..
After years of struggling, I still see the same reflection.
My hair's a mess, and I’m still the same chubby person.
Chorus:
Make mistakes, because life allows it.
Love, even when people call you foolish.
Who deceives whom, who’s angry with whom, who holds grudges—let it all go.
Chase your passion even if others laugh at you.
And just enjoy life, because we're never alone.
Because I’m still alive.
Because I still sing.
Because I still write everything that’s in my heart."

2. Every Day I Choose a Joy
Every Day I Choose a Joy is a meaningful song about life, composed by musician Trịnh Công Sơn. It isn't youthful and energetic, nor passionate and intense, but Every Day I Choose a Joy is filled with simple, calm, and light-hearted emotions, yet full of love for life and a deep longing to live.
Unlike the youthful exuberance of Championz, or the intense fervor of The Road to Glory, Every Day I Choose a Joy evokes very simple, gentle, and serene emotions, but they are also filled with a profound love for life. The girl in the song, despite facing hardships, chooses to love life with all her heart.
In the song, the simplest images like the golden leaves of the tamarind tree, or the quiet, humble roads, appear through the lyrics. Though familiar and simple, they evoke a sense of peace deep within each person’s heart, making them reflect and cherish life more. Every Day I Choose a Joy is a composition by the late musician Trịnh Công Sơn and was beautifully performed by singer Mỹ Linh.

3. If There Were Only One Day Left to Live
The song included in Mytour's compilation of meaningful songs about life is If I Had Just One Day to Live – a composition by musician Hoai An.
Much like 'Every Day I Choose Joy,' If I Had Just One Day to Live captivates with both its lyrics and melody. The song encourages listeners to pause, reflect deeply on life's challenges, and slow down to appreciate the present moment, forgetting the chaotic rush of life and valuing what we currently have.

5. The Thirst for Belief
When it comes to motivational songs that inspire, one cannot forget the track The Thirst for Belief by singer Minh Quan. The song's message encourages listeners to remember that life is not solely about stress and hardship; it also holds countless joys.
Simply being alive is a gift that life has bestowed upon you, and you should trust yourself, life, your ambitions, and your dreams. Walk confidently through life's obstacles, knowing that your loved ones are there to support you. There is no challenge ahead that can stop you from moving forward. So, keep your faith and press on.

6. The Flow of Time
If you feel like you're letting your time slip away aimlessly, it's time to listen to the motivational song The Flow of Time by composer Nguyễn Hải Phong. Time waits for no one, flowing coldly by and never returning. Similarly, youth is fleeting—if you don't cherish it by making the most of it, it will pass you by quickly.
So, when you're feeling down and helpless, lie in bed and play this song. Close your eyes and listen to its lyrics and melody. You’ll surely recall the vibrant energy of youth and remind yourself: Cherish every second of it. Youth is meant for bold actions. If you fall, rise and continue moving forward. Through each setback, we grow and mature.

7. The Little Things - Vy Oanh
"Suddenly, I feel so in love with life, with the golden sunshine and blue skies.
I feel so in love with time, happiness arriving gently.
How I love the laughter and the moments spent with loved ones.
Days free from worries or exhaustion.
This is why life is so beautiful!
The lyrics are so simple and sweet. People often strive for grand achievements, not realizing that life is made up of small things. Your attitude shapes what you receive in life. For instance, when you're happy, wonderful things come your way. But when you're sad, everything seems to go wrong. If you fall, it means you’ve given up what you’ve worked for… “Life changes when we change.” So why not choose to live more positively? Always look ahead to see the opportunities that will come your way.

10. Connecting the Great Circle – Composer Trịnh Công Sơn
Chances are, we've all sung this song as a way to greet new friends. "The mountains stretch out, joining the far seas, and we continue to connect the vast land". Since the mid-1960s, "Connecting the Great Circle" has been an anthem in every student and youth gathering throughout southern Vietnam.
Back then, Trịnh Công Sơn wrote "Connecting the Great Circle" for the people of southern Vietnam to sing together, and now, the entire country sings it, echoing the hope and vision of the composer from that time: "The sky is wide, our hands join together, completing the circle of Vietnam!"
This song symbolizes the spirit of national unity, connecting communities and people from all ethnic groups in the S-shaped land. It was written and sung at a time when the day the Vietnamese people longed for had yet to arrive.
