Hong Kong – Veteran Cantopop superstar Aaron Kwok has dropped the official theme song for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, titled Chong Chong Chong, along with a music video that required a 100-person crew and an 18-hour continuous shoot in sweltering heat. The track, an upbeat electronic dance number, has quickly gained traction across multiple media platforms since its release.
Kwok expressed gratitude for the warm reception, stating that the song’s driving rhythm and catchy chorus were designed to get audiences singing along. “I’m very happy that people are enjoying ‘Chong Chong Chong,’” he said. “It’s an EDM track with a strong beat, and the chorus lyrics are very easy to remember. I hope it inspires fans to hum along.”
The music video, praised for its polished production, was shot at the Sha Tin Racecourse, with the Jockey Club granting rare access to several facilities typically closed to the public. The production team took extraordinary care to avoid disturbing horses, particularly when converting a stable into a dance floor. To compensate for the vast outdoor spaces, lighting was tripled to ensure consistent illumination.
Kwok highlighted the dedication of the crew, which included dancers, stable staff, and a full production team. “Everyone worked without complaint for 18 hours straight under scorching heat, all united by a single goal: to pour our full energy into this video and deliver a morale boost to viewers,” he said.
The shoot spanned from daylight into late night, with Kwok maintaining high stamina. He collaborated closely with choreographer Mike Song to refine every dance move per location. In a behind-the-scenes featurette, the singer noted that the stable area was cramped and time-sensitive due to resting horses, while the expansive turf required filming to wrap quickly to protect the grass. “The team still managed to capture all the necessary shots with great efficiency,” Kwok added.
He also thanked the horse handlers, commending them for training the animals to cooperate during filming. “This project represents 100 percent of our collective effort. We hope the audience watches with joy and feels a surge of forward momentum,” Kwok said.
The release of Chong Chong Chong underscores the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s continuing efforts to blend traditional horse racing culture with modern entertainment. By tapping a major pop star and investing in cinematic-quality production, the organization aims to broaden its appeal among younger demographics and reinforce its role as a pillar of local sporting and social life.
Behind-the-scenes footage, now circulating on social media, offers fans a rare glimpse into the logistical challenges of orchestrating such a complex shoot within an active equestrian venue. The video’s rapid rise in views suggests Kwok’s formula of high-energy music and visually arresting storytelling remains a powerful draw for audiences seeking upbeat escapism.
