You know how every Chinese New Year has that song?
The one that starts playing during reunion dinner, somehow follows you from house to house, and by the third day, you’re already humming it without realising.
For CNY 2026, Hennessy is clearly aiming for that spot with an original Chinese New Year single and music video in Malaysia, titled “Raise for Luck!” (好運乾一杯!).
Inspired by Hennessy’s CNY 2026 theme, Gallop Towards Bright Perspectives, the track taps into the optimism and forward momentum of the Year of the Horse, blending modern beats with festive elements Malaysians instantly recognise.
If You’re Looking For A CNY Song That Doesn’t Feel Forced
Let’s be honest, not every festive song makes it past the first listen.
Raise for Luck! is built differently. It’s upbeat, high-energy, and catchy in a way that fits naturally into real CNY moments; reunion dinners, visiting marathons, and those nights where “okay last house already” somehow turns into another round of conversation.
It’s a vibrant visual celebration of Chinese New Year with every frame filled with energy, movement, and festive spirit. You’ll find yourself watching again and again, joining in the rhythm, the toasts, and the shared moments.
You’ll Probably Recognise A Few Faces Too
If the song feels familiar, the faces will too.
The locally produced music video features YouTube power couple Chang Yong and Shu Sen, award-winning singer Jeryl Lee, EDM pioneer DJ Blink, style personality Jack Gohr, model and actor Zhen Ning, and multidisciplinary dancer Victoria Ng.
Different personalities, different energies but all moving to the same rhythm, which honestly feels very on-brand for how Chinese New Year gatherings usually go.

The Year Of The Horse, But Make It Festive (And Display-Worthy)
Beyond the music video, Hennessy is also rolling out its Chinese New Year 2026 Limited Edition collection and yes, it’s very Year of the Horse.
Limited editions of Hennessy V.S.O.P, Hennessy X.O, and Hennessy Paradis feature a bold artistic take on a galloping horse, symbolising energy, freedom, and forward momentum. Think flowing red accents, metallic copper tones, and sculptural details that feel festive while remaining sophisticated and refined.
Whether it ends up on the table during reunion dinner, given as a gift while visiting, or kept as a collector’s piece, the design fits naturally into the season.
