This song completely surprised me. Since you said it was for national day (and since I had never previously heard a Singpore National Day song), I was expecting something much more martial/marching band style. This sounds like Christian music!
Might go to show that if we spend enough time on things we don’t like, they may grow on us.
This is 100% correct. They say familiarity breeds contempt, but it's not as simple as that. The familiar is comfortable, and we do like to be comfortable. I can't say how many times I've come to like a food or a song simply because of repetition.

Thank you for listening to it!
When I was growing up, the songs sounded more serious and preachy. Example here. However, they have mellowed down to (bubblegum) pop-like ones to appeal to the young generation.
Wrt parades, we actually celebrate this milestone with a National Day parade. This is where we have marches and military demonstrations led by our armed forces. My wife calls us Happy North Korea. Such an annoying comment, but I have to agree with her.
Yup. I am confident that most of my students like me even though I am very strict and firm with them. Cue bellowing. That’s because they see me every day haha
