Everyone is free to assume what I'm saying about being a woman". The album Nếu Như Ngày Đó marked her big turn in life as well as her music which was challenging but also contained lots of new hopes. She was trying to overcome first difficulties to stabilize and adapt the flow of the city. Nếu Như Ngày Đó was the opening for the same titled project later.

I used to be requested to lipsync at big shows to secure the performance quality but I always chose to sing live. It's my self respect for the career that I'm pursuing. Lipsync is nothing than lying to the audience".

Early June 2014, 10 untitled songs written by Vu Thanh An was officially righted for recording and being performed in Viet Nam. She was the only singer that was invited to record the album exclusively, as well as receive special payment for this CD as a part of the payment would be donated for Teresa Charities operated by Vu Thanh An himself.

Since the theme of the CD was all about nostalgia, she decided to proceed a bonus booklet as fashion designer Hoang Hai and make up artist Ho Khanh were asked to prepare the most perfect looks for the booklet to match the vibe of the CD itself. She shared: "I put lots of effort to produce this with the bottom of my heart as an appreciation for timeless songs of Vu Thanh An".

On November 7, 2014, she released another new album Vùng Tóc Nhớ including 10 untitled songs by Vu Thanh An which had been famous to everyone over the last 50 years. Previous singers had already performed all the songs successfully however there were still mistakes regarding the lyrics. Therefore, the songwriter himself corrected each note and each lyric before handing Le Quyen the final pieces for recording progress. He expected it to be the most completed version to pass to later generation. After discussing with the songwriter, it was assured to be the most accurate versions to deliver to the audience, as the songwriter hoped anyone who would cover these songs in the future would follow Le Quyen's versions. For example, Untitled song number 9 contained "Một lần đã trao nhau" while it should be "Một lần đã cho nhau". Besides, "Một đời chỉ nuôi ảo giác mà thôi" was limited. In Untitled song number 7, there was "Tâm sự rồi đêm đắng" while it should be "Tâm sự rồi đến đắng". Also in the press conference of the CD, she shared that she was afraid that "people had been customized with previous versions from other singers, so they would be complaining to listen to my versions instead". Besides, she also shared that she had spent lots of time discussing with the legal copyright owner in order to record all the songs correctly following Vu Thanh An's request. Moreover, she was struggling to demonstrate each song as they were all difficult as she had also spent lots of time discussing with many songwriters to bring out the best versions. According to her, Vu Thanh An demanded that she must insert emotion along with singing technique yet not so "showing off". Therefore, she had to decrease her original voice to fully present the song. Untitled song number 7 was the most difficult one as she had to perform it based on acoustic version of Vinh Tam.

When being interviewed regarding Le Quyen's voice, songwriter Vu Thanh An shared: ''Many singers was born in each era as a mean to bring happiness for everyone. I have been listening to my songs and each of them have their own ways of demonstrating the song in their own world. Le Quyen is unique. In her, I could see a beauty and modern voice but there is something like love between humans underneath.'' All of the untitled songs must have been linked with a secret, maybe it's why he didn't name each song separately? However the most important is the core of music as Vu Thanh An is the example of those artists who create art with every fiber of their hearts. When he was interviewed about the new album of Lệ Quyên, he said: "I'm glad because there're more people appreciate my creations, especially younger audiences. Hopefully those are unlucky in love will find comfort in those untitled songs". Until now, although being widely appreciated by many, he still keeps living a simple life: "I'm thankful for this life as even in pain, I still search for the way out. I'm thankful for chances that I'm given, as well as love from everyone". Maybe it's why all of his love songs, even some was unfinished, or so much painful, the audience could be able to search for hopes at the end of each.

On December 27, 2014, Vu Thanh An and Love Songs was held at Hoa Binh Theater (Ho Chi Minh City) as being a special concert of Le Quyen when she gave 25 memorable performances in the concert. So far, Tình Khúc Vượt Thời Gian was usually performed by many artists but in this concert, it was an exception to have only one singer to perform. It was also the first concert contributed to untitled songs of Vu Thanh An after nearly 39 years of not being widely released in Vietnam. With sensual voice of Le Quyen, three male guest singers Duc Tuan, Le Hieu and Ho Trung Dung also brought Vu Thanh An's creations into limelight. The theater was filled with the attendance of more than 2,500 audiences. Through the voice of Le Quyen, they traveled back to the land of memories filled with love and also separation. Vu Thanh An himself carefully corrected each note, each lyric before handing Le Quyen the final pieces so she could perform live nationally. All songs was remixed added her unique voice delivered the audience new vibes from timeless songs of Vu Thanh An.

In International Women's Day 2015, the third album of Khúc Tình Xưa series was released titled Đêm Tâm Sự    as she shared "As the plan, this album should have been released before Lunar New Year. However, I wasn't satisfied with all the mixes because I wanted them to be carefully treated. Since I know that the audience love this series". The album included 11 old songs which had been carefully edited by herself such as: Đêm Tâm Sự, Sương Lạnh Chiều Đông, Chuyến Tàu Hoàng Hôn, Kiếp Cầm Ca,....was bolero masterpieces, Lệ Quyên once again seeded the audience with as sweet as honey audios. Especially, two songs Hoa Nở Về Đêm (written by Manh Phat) and Chuyến Tàu Hoàng Hôn (written Minh Ky & Hoai Linh) were finally granted legal release after 50 years of ban. The album was released 4 years after the release of Khúc Tình Xưa 2 - Trả Lại Thời Gian (2011). The process of choosing 11 songs for this album was challenging as 2 previous albums had been greatly successful for their music and idea syndication. Therefore, Khúc Tình Xưa 3 continued to deliver a whole new creation to the audience. Moreover, male singer Thái Châu was also featured in the song Đêm Tâm Sự.

On July 23, 2015, the press conference for the launch of liveshow Vũ Thành An & Lệ Quyên - Tình Khúc Không Tên produced by Phuong Nam Film and Le Quyen who was the main vocal that was held at Gem Center.

More than 4,000 tickets was sold out in first week despite high price (from 600,000 Vietnam Dong to 5,000,000 Vietnam Dong) which led her to hold another night of liveshow also in National Conference Center next day (March 9, 2016), however, the ticket was quickly sold out after 2 days.

Although these were Thai Thinh's new creations however without the introduction, the audience often misunderstood that they were old ones as they were based on the vibes from old music style. Duyên Phận was about women from last century who weren't allowed to choose their own partners but their parents arranged the marriage themselves. This was an exciting challenge for Le Quyen to deliver new song based on old rhythm. Although it had been previously performed by Như Quỳnh, however there were lots of differences when it came to Le Quyen's version since it had some similarities with her previous famous songs such as Để Nhớ Một Thời Ta Đã Yêu, Nếu Em Được Chọn Lựa which was performed every night at Không Tên music tea room. Later, Duyên Phận was played everywhere after her performance. Đoạn Tuyệt was the one that Thai Thinh had specially written for Lệ Quyên under the influence of bolero, since many liked it so she bought the unlimited copyright in Vietnam and oversea. She shared: "The album wouldn't be same color as in this one, there were 3 of them: pop, bolero and even pre-war. I have been knowing him for years and also performed many of his songs".

Everytime a new album is released, they all support me regardless. This is the biggest encouragement for me personally and for other singers generally', April 8, 2014 - Lệ Quyên"

Regarding awards
"'I only need the statement 'Le Quyen's vibe is irresistible' which is enough for me. To me, that statement is worth million times more than any award or honor ever. My opinion is that as long as I keep singing, there will be audiences, as well as hopefully that I'm able to perform many different genres to widen my number of audiences as much as possible. I could be unlike others, my success is also different from others, however my audiences are divers who are very loyal to my music release, whether it's pop or old music, all of them have already experienced in life in many ways before. Up to now, I have never tried to frame myself into certain mold, because it limits my ability. What will arrive will arrive. What I do is to thoroughly research what I will do to evaluate if I'm capable of it. That's it'. November 28, 2013 - Lệ Quyên" "'I might not be rewarded any award ever, however I have owned priceless invisible awards which is whenever my name is on the big board, the theater room will be filled up with audiences. I believe that my audiences are those who would like to enjoy real music. At least up to now, I have never dreamed to be reward any award. I don't dare to say that I don't need them, but to confirm that I'm not dreaming of those. Who knows, the day I step on the stage to receive any award, I won't be the same like now'.
