"See Tình" (lit.'See Love'; pronounced in Vietnamese: Si tình, lit. 'Madly in love' or translates to "See Love" in English), also referred to by the mondegreens "Ting ting tang tang" or "Ting ting tang ting" in the Philippines,[1][2][3][4] is a song by Vietnamese singer Hoàng Thùy Linh, released in 2022 as the second single from her fourth studio album Link. The Cukak remix of "See Tình" went viral on TikTok through its use in dance covers.[5]
Composition
The song was composed and arranged by the group DTAP and takes inspiration from the culture of the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam.[6][7][8] Thùy Linh commented that the song was inspired by her first time falling in love as a teenager.[9] The song was written in two hours and recorded in just two days.[10] "See Tình" is a pun on the Vietnamese word "si tình", which means "to fall in love" or "madly in love".[8][9][11]
The music video for "See Tình" was directed by Kawaii Tuấn Anh and written by Minh Châu.[6][12] The video's fashion stylist was Hoàng Ku.[6][8][13] The video narratively follows the video for "Gieo Quẻ", the first single from the album Link, which was released on 1 January 2022.[6][14][15]
The director opted for a Western Vietnamese setting with simple colors complementing the lyrics of the song, a difference from the northern setting in Linh's previous music videos.[12][14] The video made extensive use of CGI, as about 75% of the scenes were recorded on a green screen, and processing time took up to three months. The video's plot is about a mermaid (Linh) who confesses her love to a boy who works as a rug seller.[9][12] Vietnamese singer Isaac Phạm makes a guest appearance at the end of the video.[8][12]
In popular culture
"See Tình" became globally popular through its use of the remix by Cukak on the video sharing service TikTok, in which users would post themselves dancing to the song.[16][17]
