PPP’s Samuel Lee adapts ‘look left, look right’ song for an ad

People’s Power Party member Samuel Lee recently made an appearance in a TikTok video for an interior design company.

The former Ang Mo Kio GRC candidate was seen singing the song that made him go viral during the general election —popularly known online as the "look left, look right" song.

Originally performed at a press conference, Lee adapted the tune from the Chinese song “I’m Just a Tiny Tiny Bird” (我是一只小小鸟) to describe the struggles job seekers face in finding employment.

In this latest version, Lee puts a new spin on the lyrics, singing about "looking left and right" in search of a trustworthy interior designer.

Lee sang the new version in both English and Chinese.

Look left, look right

Speaking to Mothership after the party’s press conference on Apr. 22, Lee explained that he used the song to reflect Singaporeans’ concerns about job security and the uncertainty surrounding career prospects.

"So that's where I'm coming from, that I'm looking left and right for a career path, and is the request considered too high," he said.

The tune quickly gained traction on social media, with users lip-syncing to the audio and creating parodies of their own.

Even Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong joined in on the trend, posting a lighthearted parody of the song on his social media accounts.

Lost S$13,500 deposit during GE2025

Lee and his PPP team faced off against the incumbent People's Action Party (PAP) led by Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and the Singapore United Party (SUP) in a three-way fight in Ang Mo Kio GRC.

PAP eventually won with 78.95 per cent of the vote share.

PPP received 10.21 per cent of the votes, meaning that the team, including Lee, lost their election deposits of S$13,500 per candidate.
