The theme for this year's NDP is "Celebrating the Singapore Spirit" and the theme song reflects this theme by calling Singaporeans to "Shine for Singapore".

In line with this theme, the concept of the music video aims to reflect the Singapore Spirit through the unfolding of three inspirational stories that portrays compassion, determination and the nurturing of the young.

The first story tells of how a newspaper delivery man perseveres to train for a vertical marathon by taking the stairs to distribute papers despite his old age.

Another story illustrates how a boy shows compassion to girl with a limp by designing a pair of special shoes for her, to enable her to walk normally.

The last story depicts how parents and teachers can nurture a child by being supportive and patient in understanding her creative vision.

The music video ends with the piecing up of the child's art pieces to form a huge star - the motif of the music video that signifies every Singaporean is a star in their own way, shining bright for Singapore.
