Fans can see a new version of Vũ Cát Tường from music to images in this release but she receives two sides of comments including both good and bad. This song has an ear-catching melody and Vũ Cát Tường appeared with the images of a strong, stylish and powerful woman. However, some comments criticized Cát Tường’s vocals were not suitable for rap since her voice was weak and hard to hear when she was rapping too fast. In addition, rap is new to Vũ Cát Tường but isn’t new in Vietnam or the world so she is slower than other rappers in updating about the prevalent rap trends.

The MV of “Leader” was performed by the Korean crew from Korean producers, makeup artists and stylists to dancers. The images are of Vũ Cát Tường dancing, sitting at a luxury car, lying in a bathtub full of jewelry and rapping. The scene that Tường was lying in the bathtub is a similar footage as in “Look what you made me do” of Taylor Swift so this got many criticisms. Many netizens hope Tường comeback to herself previously with ballad songs such as “Vết Mưa”, “Yêu Xa”, “Mơ”, “Cô Gái Ngày Hôm Qua”, etc. Others supported her change in music style because they see it interesting and new.
