Watch "Heartbeats"

NDP Microdrama — “Heartbeats”

Breaking new ground, “Heartbeats” debuts as the first-ever microdrama series produced for NDP. The six-episode series brings our National Day celebrations to the familiar setting of our heartlands.

Starring Iman Fandi and Yung Raja, the series follows a shy woman’s journey as she overcomes personal challenges to find her voice at an NDP heartlands concert. Humorous and heartfelt, it is a story about belonging, courage and what it takes to build a "home, truly".

1. The microdrama explores uniquely Singaporean stories of national pride and a sense of community. Through its rich tapestry of characters, music, and experiences, it invites every Singaporean to find themselves in the story and explore their personal connections to our nation’s birthday.

2. The story will also be told through song, and viewers may look forward to re-arranged classics and NDP 2026 original compositions sung by the stars of the show.

3. Produced in vertical format, “Heartbeats” is optimised for viewing on smartphones and other personal mobile devices — anytime, anywhere.
