Foray into music and acting

Her third album, Muốn nói với anh, was released in 2006.
She released her fourth album Khi ta yêu nhau in 2007. However, the album was not highly publicized, and none of the singles gained popularity. After the release of the album, it was announced that she and her boyfriend of several years had split, which was the source of much controversy. Ha stated that though they loved hard, she felt no regrets.
2009 saw her first release since the split, an EP titled The First Single. It was a top seller, and received positive reviews from critics and listeners. The main track, "Xin hãy thứ tha", featured a duet with female Vietnamese rapper Suboi. The EP also featured an English version of the track titled "My Apology", which she performed at Asia Song Festival in Korea.
During this time, she became the brand ambassador to Sunsilk in Vietnam. To promote the brand and simultaneously promote The First Single, she joined the company in a trans-Vietnam tour titled And I Fell in Love in September 2009.

In 2010, after taking a break following the birth of her son, she released her fifth album, "Tìm lại giấc mơ" which she had recorded while pregnant. Ha herself wrote a song from the album titled "Thêm một lần vỡ tan". But not long after, the community discovered the song had many similarities with "Red Blooded Woman" by Kylie Minogue . Speaking about this Ho Ngoc Ha said that it was not a case of plagiarism and that they are two completely different songs. To promote the album, Ha once again teamed up with Sunsilk for a mini tour titled "Find a Dream" with a lineup similar to the earlier one, but with two extra performers: Ha Anh Tuan and V-Music group.
Ha and V-Music group then worked together on an album called "Happy Days", released in August, 2010 in Vietnam and on August 2, 2010 on iTunes. The album was also sponsored by the company Nikkon.

"I never wanted to talk to the press about Cường. If my lover was not Cường, there would have never been this kind of manhunt. But this is normal curiosity, and nobody knows the truth better than me. I've got a stable career and at the age of 26, I have the right enter a new chapter of my life." she has stated.[5] She has also stated that the two have no plans for marriage.
