"The sky is dark, with a light drizzle
Today, we meet for the first time
I see the shy look in your eyes
Gently placing a rose on my lips

And within me, a desire so strong, it feels like it's about to burst
Bittersweet, like it's already faded away
Baby you and me
Just you and me
For when we're close, each breath leaves words unspoken
My mind is in chaos
Baby you and me

Babe, I want you to take me home
I want you to take me home
I want you to take me home
I want you to take me home
Babe, take me home
..."

If I'm not strong, what else can I do?"

"I hide my sorrow in my eyes
I hide my smile in a distant place
I hide my heart and the sadness in the dark night

I hide the sweetness deep in my memories
I hide the hate in a hidden corner
I hide the passion, though I’ve told myself to forget you"

"No one comforts me when I wake at night
No one is there to wipe my tears
No one eases the loneliness in the night
There’s no one left anymore..."

"What Is Love?" is a music video released by Hồ Ngọc Hà in mid-August 2015. This project, which the singer and her team had been working on for a long time, is a stunning display of her investment in music, visuals, and fashion. The fast-paced rhythm and beautiful choreography of the video dazzled viewers with her professional and skillful performance.

Hồ Ngọc Hà is one of the pioneering female artists in the Vietnamese EDM scene. She carefully selected the music arrangement, the dance style, and the catchy build-ups. As a trailblazer in this genre, she’s unmatched in showcasing EDM in Vietnam. Through What Is Love?, Hà demonstrates her signature style, mixing RnB Dance with EDM, creating a catchy blend that perfectly highlights her sizzling dance moves.

Compared to her previous works, What Is Love? more clearly portrays the raw and deep emotions of young love—simple, genuine, and profound. The song is inspired by the feelings and reflections of songwriter Kiên Trần, who empathized with the love stories of young people.

The song "Lonely on the Sofa" is Hồ Ngọc Hà's attempt to reinvent herself through a collaboration with young composer Tăng Duy Tân. Released in October 2022, the music video quickly gained positive reactions from both fans and the media. The project stood out as Hồ Ngọc Hà invited several well-known figures, including model Anh Thư, beauty queen Hương Giang, and model Quỳnh Lương, showcasing her significant investment in both the music and the visuals to deliver a high-quality product.

The track, a blend of pop ballad with a touch of R&B, features Hồ Ngọc Hà as a woman confronting the pain of heartbreak. Sitting on a sofa, she reflects on a past relationship while singing:

“Lonely on the sofa, my heart feels like it’s breaking apart

Guiding me as I drift along to a sad tune.”

Lonely on the Sofa quickly became a hit for Hồ Ngọc Hà. However, she probably didn’t expect that the song would explode in popularity, drawing even those previously indifferent to Vietnamese music into its whirlwind. The title even became a “hot trend” on social media.

"It’s Because of You" is a track composed by Phúc Bồ, with lyrics penned by Đỗ Hiếu. The music for It’s Because of You was performed by Hồ Ngọc Hà with an energetic and captivating melody, blending Eastern influences (Arabic music) with Vietnamese House (Vinahouse), creating a sound that fits seamlessly with global music trends.

Hồ Ngọc Hà and her team spent numerous sessions in the studio, recording multiple demo versions before selecting the final cut. The singer also dedicated an entire day to the arrangement and orchestration process, leaving the mastering to renowned producer Only C.

This track marks Hồ Ngọc Hà's return to the dance genre after her 2020 ballad album, Love Songs 3. Initially, she had planned to only perform it at the Miss Universe Vietnam finals in Ho Chi Minh City. However, after the positive response from the audience, she and director Đinh Hà Uyên Thư decided to create a music video. Although it’s a dance MV, Hồ Ngọc Hà brought a fresh, fashion-forward look with a Western-inspired style that set this video apart from her previous ones.

A Sky Full of Love was composed by Nguyễn Minh Cường and falls within the genre of contemporary pop music, with sweet, poetic lyrics about love and romance. It was beautifully performed by Hồ Ngọc Hà, who successfully brought the song to life. Not only was the music meticulously crafted, but the music video for A Sky Full of Love is visually stunning, telling a romantic love story in a cinematic style that leaves viewers mesmerized.

The song is a ballad filled with hope for a bright future, singing about the promise of walking together to a place called happiness. This stands in contrast to Hồ Ngọc Hà's previous melancholic tracks. The music video was one of her most high-budget productions at the time, taking the form of a short film that lasts over 7 minutes. It tells the story of a past life romance between a nightclub singer and an army officer, played by Kim Lý. Hồ Ngọc Hà once shared that A Sky Full of Love wasn’t just a hit for her but also played a role in bringing her and her partner together, as they’ve been working and living together for many years since then.
