See Tình

"See Tình" (Vietnamese: Si tình, lit. 'Madly in love', pronounced [sī tìn]), also referred to by the misnomers "Ting ting tang tang" or "Ting ting tang ting" in the Philippines, is a song by Vietnamese singer Hoàng Thùy Linh, released on 20 February 2022 as the second single from her fourth studio album Link. After releasing multiple projects in the late 2010s, Linh decided to create a song inspired by the feeling of falling in love. Written in two hours, the song's lyrics discuss being "madly in love". The music video, directed by Kawaii Tuấn Anh, incorporates Vietnamese cultural and modern elements. It tells the story of a mermaid who confesses her love to a boy who works as a fisherman and rug seller. The song received praise for being creative and lively, though some critics noted it sacrificed cultural integrity and lacked deep meaning. The song became viral on TikTok through a remix by Cukak. The video gained millions of views on YouTube with thousands of videos using the song on TikTok. Many personalities posted videos dancing to the song, including a priest who received backlash for his performance. The song was particularly popular throughout Asia. According to the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, the song gave Vietnam a positive image.
