"Lạc trôi" (literally "mindlessly floating" or "lost" in Vietnamese) is a song of the singer and songwriter Sơn Tùng M-TP from his first greatest hits album, m-tp M-TP (2017). The song was composed and performed by Son Tung himself with the co-production of producer Triple D. The song was first released on December 31, 2016 as the first and lead single from the album.[1] and was released on iTunes Store by M-TP Entertainment and by Nhac.vn. This is the first song by Son Tung M-TP in 2017 as well as his first song after leaving Wepro Entertainment and former manager Nguyen Quang Huy.

"Lạc trôi" is a combination of traditional musical instruments and future bass style.[2] The song is considered to have no catchy chorus. The melody was also not as outstanding as his previous hits. However, this song has received enthusiastic reception from the audiences.[3] The music video "Lạc trôi" is performed in the combination of ancient and modern styles and was filmed in Lam Dong. The highlight of this music video is that the singer puts on antique clothing while wearing modern sneakers. This is considered as the advertising tactics of Biti's – a footwear company - products. There are several cover versions, among them a Chinese version, a Japanese version, a Thai version and an English version.

During the first two days, "Lạc trôi" came in at No. 6 on the list of the most viewed videos of the week on YouTube. The music video uploaded to YouTube has so far garnered more than 100 million views after 61 days of release and has become one of Asia's most viewed music videos.

Right after the announcement, the first images of this music project immediately created a wave of expectation in the internet community. Netizens have uploaded many cover photos from the official poster and it was spreading at a rapid pace.

The name "Lạc trôi" was chosen because as the singer stated, that was the only name suit the song lyrics which is about the feeling of drifting into nothingness. In addition, this phrase has also appeared in many of his previous songs as a charm.[4][5]

On January 21, 2017, the copyright of the song was bought by Happy Entertainment and became the official soundtrack for the film Lục Vân Tiên: Tuyệt đỉnh Kungfu.[6]

[edit]

At 00:00 (GMT + 7) January 1, 2017, the music video "Lạc trôi" was officially released on YouTube. The footage was filmed at Linh Quy Pháp Ấn Pagoda, located at Hill 45, Hamlet 4, Lộc Thành, Bảo Lâm, Lâm Đồng, about 21 km from Bảo Lộc city, under the direction of director Đinh Hà Uyên Thư.

Creating a completely different image from the previous MVs, Son Tung transformed into a protagonist with long hair dyed in smoke color.[7] This music video has very colorful scenes and was very thoughtfully invested, with careful visual effects and post-production techniques. After the debut, there were many comments that Son Tung's image in this music video was reminiscent of the ancient characters in the Chinese swordplay, but Son Tung affirmed the image that he represented was very modern and had bold colors of Vietnam.[8] Son Tung himself also admitted that the video had ancient style but in combination with modern elements. Talking about the image of the king in the music video, Son Tung said that he was inspired by a part of himself, a king who possesses the pinnacle of power but always wants to find true love.[8] The king had a cold and unfriendly look but deep in his heart, he was very emotional, always looking for true love even though there were many beauties around him.[9] In addition, modern costumes such as Biti's sneakers and turtleneck sweater became details that drew attention.[3]
