Home (Kit Chan song)
Home, sung by Kit Chan, was composed by Dick Lee in 1998 as the first in a series of yearly songs commissioned for Singapore's National Day Parade, together with the other NDP song that year titled as City For The world. It has English and Chinese versions, both sung by Kit. In 2004, it was remixed for three child soloists, one of whom was young actress and singer Shanice Elizabeth Nathan. The children were accompanied by a girls' choir and the piece was reused as the National Day song for 2004. In 2010, Kit performed the song at the 2010 National Day Parade.
The song was well received, being considered one of the best National Day Songs, and is still being used in National Day Parades as of 2019.
In 2011, the music video of a new arrangement of the song was launched on Total Defence Day. Kit is the executive producer of the music video. The new arrangement was performed by 39 local singers, accompanied by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
