From an intriguing, emotional song
Following the success of “Towards the Dream” in 2024, Techcombank and SOOBIN have released a second version that is not only catchy but also touches the hearts of those pursuing their dreams. “Superior” is not just about being better than others, it’s about surpassing yourself from yesterday. Through storytelling in music, the brand’s message has become a catalyst for inspiration with “Towards the Dream 2: Striving for Superiority.”

With relatable lyrics and captivating melodies, “Towards the Dream 2” chooses to amplify the voices of resilient souls marching forward, whether loudly or quietly. Each step has its own significance and leaves a unique imprint.
With this “new version,” Techcombank aims to spread an encouraging message and rally a strong call to action: “We believe that regardless of size, every dream and aspiration deserves respect and support to become a reality. As long as you take action, those dreams and aspirations can come true.”
Aligned with their vision of “Transforming Finance, Elevating Quality of Life,” Techcombank aspires to be a long-term ally to each customer and Vietnamese business in their journey towards their superior selves.
Towards Superior Stories
The MV gathers exemplary figures of endurance from various fields, portraying authentic slices of life in overcoming oneself. Each character confronts fears, pressures, and aspirations that refuse to be extinguished.

Phuong Anh Dao is unafraid to leave her comfort zone and embrace failure, understanding that only through experimentation can artists uncover their hidden potentials.

Sam Tran dedicates hours to preparing a dish and isn’t afraid to experiment with unusual ingredients because she understands that only through creativity and perseverance can a chef attain the Michelin star – the highest honor in the industry.

Pham Tien San endures rigorous early morning training sessions and is unafraid of injuries or setbacks because he understands that only by surpassing his limitations can an athlete bring glory to his nation.
The MV also features artisan Do Huu Triet, who is dedicated to reviving the Hue enamel legacy, the group Fustic.Studio that blends culture with modern technology, and runners Thanh Vu and Chi Nguyen, who promote a healthy lifestyle community.
Each individual has a unique story, but they all consistently strive towards their superior selves.
The Drumbeat Awakens Dormant Dreams
Once again, viewers are mesmerized by the impressive sound of Vietnamese drums in the MV, blending with the song’s rhythm and SOOBIN’s distinctive style. It’s not just music; it’s a signal for hearts ablaze with dreams to embark on their journeys. The drumbeat isn’t merely a sound; it’s a call to action for individuals and a collective awakening.

The impressive sound of Vietnamese drums, blending with the song’s rhythm, once again captivates the viewers.
The journey of self-improvement is not solitary but part of a larger current—the progress of a nation. The powerful drumbeats resonate as a call: “Let’s reach further together. Conquer every desire. The blood of Vietnam is surging.”

Perhaps that’s how life is; if we don’t keep moving towards where the drumbeat calls, how can we ever witness those radiant moments?
“Towards the Dream 2” is not just a musical piece but a source of encouragement for millions of Vietnamese—a resilient, passionate, and ambitious people—constantly striving towards their superior selves.
