    The Songs We Sang premiered at the Singapore International Film Festival on November 29, 2015. The performance was sold-out. Golden Village released it to Singaporean theaters on March 24, 2016. As of April 19, it has grossed $115,000

    Reception

    After its festival premiere, the film received positive reviews. In praising Tang's research, Boon Chan of My Paper rated it 4.5/5 stars and wrote, "The Songs We Sang is a labour of love that puts our stories front and centre." Tan Kee Yun of The New Paper rated it 4/5 stars and called it "truly a gem of local cinema", as it avoids the melodrama associated with That Girl in Pinafore.

    Her World rated it as one of the best Singaporean films of 2015.
