The song tells a romantic story, but Chi deliberately lets Khmer culture shine through the lyrics, costumes and musical arrangement, creating a rare blend of love and heritage.

To keep the portrayal authentic, she consulted professors from the College of Southern Khmer Language‑Culture‑Arts and Humanity at Trà Vinh University.

The video includes a Khmer‑language line “បងមានស្រឡាញ់អូនទេ?” and shows Khmer‑specific scenes such as boat races, cá kèo, mắm me, traditional dance, wedding customs and traditional clothing.

By weaving genuine Khmer elements into a mainstream pop video, Chi offers a rare glimpse of a minority culture and highlights Vietnam’s cultural diversity.
