‘Mot con vit’, or ‘One Little Duck’ in English, made history on Saturday night as Vietnam’s first-ever music video on YouTube to reach one billion views.

The song, meant for kids, overtook a series of hit songs performed by famed local singers such as My Tam, Son Tung MT-P, Jack, Ha Anh Tuan, and Hoang Thuy Linh to get the title.

The earworm, posted by Heo Con Channel on YouTube on August 31, 2019, clocked the one-billion-view milestone at midnight the same day, getting 2.2 million likes.

The ‘Mot con vit’ song was composed by songwriter Kim Duyen and performed by Xuan Mai, who was three years old when she sang it.

With its catchy tune, the song is beloved by many generations of children. The video depicts a white mother duck and her five yellow babies.

In the over-four-minute video, the ducks dance and walk in a garden and swim in a pool. The adorable baby ducks seem to attract kids.
