"Let’s Shine", composed by songwriter Huy Tuan, was selected among hundreds of songs sent to the organizer. It's a slow-tempo, upbeat song that focuses on several topics like spirit in sports, the pride of Vietnam, unity and embracing the youth.

Tuan said with his love for sports, it only took him two days to finish the song.

"This is truly the proudest moment in the 30 years of my career. I hope the song will be well-received domestically and internationally," he added.

SEA Games 31, with 40 sports, will take place from May 12 to 23. It will be held in Vietnam's 12 northern provinces and city: Hanoi, Hoa Binh, Bac Giang, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh, Vinh Phuc, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Phu Tho, Ha Nam and Hai Duong. There will be around 10,000 participants.

The motto for SEA Games 21 will be "For A Stronger Southeast Asia", while the mascot will be the Saola (also called Asian unicorn), one of the rarest animals in the world that can only be found in Vietnam and some areas of Laos. It's a symbol of strength, pride and agility.
