HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Happiness Saigon leads Spotify Wrapped 2025 in Vietnam with its most ambitious local edition, turning a global year-end recap into a series of communal, real-world experiences rooted in fandom and local culture.
Spotify Wrapped 2025 marks a clear shift from personal reflection to collective celebration, as Spotify invests in turning its global year-end moment into a shared, physical experience.
In Vietnam, music is rarely a solitary experience. Listening habits spill into comment sections, fan groups, memes, and everyday conversations. Fandoms are vocal, playful, emotionally invested, and often driven by references that make little sense outside their community. Rather than smoothing these edges, Spotify Wrapped 2025 in Vietnam embraces them even more ambitious than previous years.
Under the localized concept of being “unapologetically Vietnamese,” the local edition treats fandom behaviour itself as culture. Instead of explaining why certain moments matter, the campaign gives them physical form, allowing fans to recognise each other through shared knowledge and shared obsession.
One of the campaign’s most talked-about public experiences centres on a viral phrase “bring me an orange juice” (from Gaga and Ed Sheeran) into a physical installation of a giant orange juice station. Spotify turned this fleeting Vietnamese internet joke/ meme into a real-world destination, anchored by one of Vietnam’s top pop artists, Orange, whose name unexpectedly became part of the cultural joke itself.
At the Orange juice installation, fans were invited to step into a space that mirrored a familiar street-side juice stall. Fans gathered to prove they understood the reference, showing their Wrapped 2025 to get the orange juice.
If the Orange activation represents playful obsession, the Dương Domic’s Lost Connection Hotline explores the emotional side of Vietnamese listening culture. Inspired by Dương Domic’s hit song Lost Connection, Spotify flipped the idea by creating a physical “Lost Connection Hotline”, turning a song about disconnection into a real-world space for fans to connect directly with him.
Fans were invited to visit the phone booth and show their Spotify Wrapped to the attendant as a way to identify themselves as part of Dương Domic’s fandom. Once inside, they could select different options inspired by Lost Connection, triggering pre-recorded voice messages from the artist himself.
In its first two weeks, the campaign recorded 3.6 million shares and over 110 artists joined, underscoring how Vietnamese audiences embraced Wrapped as a social, communal experience.
