Pickleball song gets backlash from audience

The song was released on November 15, composed by Tuno, arranged by Hoang Danh Huong, and produced by Dio. After a week, the song has 300,000 views on YouTube and millions of interactions on TikTok.

The song is about love and dates on the pickleball court. On music forums, many people commented that the chorus has meaningless content:

"Play as much as you want but I remind you
I'm not easy
Don't look at me, look at the ball
Lose the game, leave me
Don't be careless and bring your feet too close.
"Please restrain yourself"

Additionally, many listeners believe that some lines in the song contain sexual innuendos.

Many viewers commented on the song as a "disaster". Account Tran Hoang Minh wrote: "Please make music seriously, selectively, with meaningful lyrics. I hope you respect those who care about you and the expectations of the audience". Account Phan Oanh commented: "The lyrics are worse than those written by Chat GPT. I hope you choose the song more carefully".

Musician Nguyen Ha said he read many comments criticizing the song, analyzing the lyrics as meaningless, even sexually suggestive. "I think the singer simply wants to create content that is fun, not too serious. As the music market expands, we have to get used to having more products that follow different directions. And the audience has the right to judge them," the musician said.

Singer Do Phu Qui's manager said he is busy with many work schedules and refused to respond to audience comments.

Do Phu Qui, 31 years old, participated inSchool song2011. Compared to other contestants at that time such as Bao Anh, Thieu Bao Tram, he received less attention.

Erotic, vulgar lyrics have been a problem for many years in Vietnamese music. In early June, the songFeverby tlinh and Coldzy - with nearly 800,000 views on YouTube - was criticized by audiences for being too sexy. The two singers later removed the song to edit it.

Many long-time celebrities such as Van Mai Huong and Bich Phuong have been involved in controversy. Van Mai Huong has an articleMartini(composed by Hua Kim Tuyen) tells the story of an intimate couple, together from night to morning. Bich Phuong has a songGuess what?(Tien Cookie, Pham Thanh Ha, Phuc Du composed), hidden lyrics about love affairs. Or the songSashimi(Written by Hua Kim Tuyen, performed by Chi Pu) comes from the Japanese word "kimochi", which means satisfaction during sex, often appearing in adult films.

Music experts say the widespread phenomenon of "junk music" is a result of the development of social networks, making it easier for artists and audiences to share products and reach a wider audience. In addition to online music sites, audiences can now listen to short excerpts of songs on TikTok, Facebook or YouTube. This can lead to the music creation process seemingly being shortened, lacking deep investment in message, emotion and technical factors, instead of products that quickly and concisely meet the need for instant music listening.
