In fact, DTAP revealed that they sent the song's demo to 10 young vocalists that they believe will be suitable and express the true spirit of the song. However, DTAP did not receive any response. Keeping an optimistic spirit, they believe that it could be because the song's demo melody is too new so the artists don't want to take risks, or even because... the email got lost.

Although the beginning was difficult but could not dampen the will of the young creators, DTAP "risked" reaching out to Hoang Thuy Linh and luckily received a response after a few hours. "We don't dare to imagine that Ms. Linh will sing Let Mi tell you. Perhaps that is a great fate and luck for the group," DTAP members shared.
