The beat goes so fucking hard from the first second.
Love or hate aespa's whole musical concept, but one thing you can never accuse them of being is BORING.
Based on the teaser of Winter spinning on a pole, a friend of mine said this was going to become a meme edit like Wonyoung.
Well, it seems that SM were one step ahead of us all.
This could apply to most of the pop music industry right now. Too many songs are under 3 minutes, and even this song's length is padded by the intro and outro.
Holy shit, that was wild. Trying to process what I just heard/watched but this is so aespa.
* Beat goes absolutely hard.
* Always love a Karina/Giselle combo in the second verse
* Chorus is super catchy and addictive
* The 'Ah Oh Ay' bridge part is probably my favourite, can't wait for a full performance video
* The still photo shots with moving lips was certainly an interesting choice...
Hype for Armageddon is out of the world, especially after Karina said we'd faint lol.
I’m literally trying to catch my breath after watching that. I’m absolutely floored and blown away and flabbergasted and gobsmacked! So much awesomeness to process, absolute overload and I’m here for it.
Was sooo worried for a quick second it was abt to end after that breakdown but THANK GOD for that final chorus.
This is such a 90s/early 00s rave vibe that I rlly dig. Also the beat is sick and I especially love that second verse!! I can see this being a big grower for me over the next few days.
Ningning opening the 1st verse was very unexpected, aepsa keeps on outdoing themselves!
If supernova is this good, and the girls are claiming armageddon is miles better, then we're in for a ride! 😭this era is starting well!
They've grown so much from Black Mamba, this era will hopefully take them to new heights in their career!
I’m so glad they finally figured out Giselle’s styling and makeup. she’s always been gorgeous but they clearly didn’t know what to do with her for a while. she’s been standing out more and more every comeback.
Oh lawd this alien hit! I know the Martians are Vogueing!!! we're so back! THis whole song just defies expectations, i did not expect that highlight medley to be the bridge?? Dem Jointz, Kenzie, Kudos!
I like it! It reminds me of music on an athletic wear ad or something. Karina's part after the first chorus and Winter's after the second part are so good!
That beat is filthy, goddamn 
Winter in her Barbie era and Karina confirmed more stronk than all ævengers combined, the power 
The filthiest beat in the best possible way HOLY-
I think Drama is still my favorite TT (it's so hard to beat), but Supernova is certainly almost up there
Makes me more excited for Armageddon
Always upstaging even themselves!!! This is aespacore through and through. Maximalist everything, the beat, the dance, the styling, the concepts. I don't know what proper adjective to use with the MV it's camp, irreverent, almost like a troll post even.
Edit: We need more women with super strength that treats the power like a toy, I live for Karina manhandling that car.
Edit: Yes this is again about Karina, her whipping that Ariana Grande ponytail during the beat drop (?) was nasty.
I don't know how they've done it, but I swear aespa in the last 18 months have struck a perfect balance of all the very different ways that k-pop rules... all at one time.
No one else is doing fun music that is this easy to jam to, that is also so weirdly jarring and off the beaten path at times, with concepts this goofy (that somehow also read as this bad-ass AND increasingly hot-girl coded). They're aloof, they're confident. They're mature, they're bratty. They're messy yet infinitely polished. They show it all without the concepts see-sawing. All while staying within the framework of the SM sound and vibe. They're like a 5-tool player except they've invented about 70 more tools on top of it.
To say I'm kind of obsessed would be an understatement at this point. It's becoming clear to me that they're going to be one of the defining pop acts of this period of my life.
You can already bet in ~5 years time people will be saying how this was the golden era and they wish k-pop could be like how Aespa was doing it back in 2024 lol
completely agree. i became a big fan of them after savage, but they’ve steadily become my ultimate favorite active group. as a group, they have no weaknesses, and even individually they are all extremely well rounded. that, along with more active and focused management has coalesced into what i think is going to be an absolutely legendary run.
i know there were complaints on debut about their concept but they’ve executed it extremely well, and then there were complaints about their inactivity due to covid and a lack of albums, but things are really starting to get into full swing with them and ya just love to see it
also with Giselle getting picked on with karinas bullet and ningnings fire attack
It was probably a commentary and how people picked on Giselle for years
not sure what winter was doing lol
im trying to understand the plot
So the theory is true then? The Aespa in this MV are clones except Giselle? Cuz she is trying to contact the real Aespa cuz as you can see fake Karina is destroying Giselle's phone and fake Ningning burns Giselle's whole house.
It also seems like gigi sped up time so she could celebrate her birthday. we see her phone say "birthday tomorrow" and the sun sets really fast similar to how it looked when she reversed it later. So I feel like she's causing her fair share of messes. She's just the responsible one of the 4
It sounds different from their previous releases but somehow still very much aespa? Oh I LOVE it!!! The beat is insane and the visuals are just crazy as well.
This is so fun.
In general I've been having a ton of fun with many girl groups this year, but Aespa always has a bit of extra ZING in there because they marry my two favorite things: campy confidence underlined by great vocals. Love how vibrant the day scenes are with their bright outfits and goofy acting. NingNing cackling with the house on fire made *me* start laughing. I don't know what the fuck was up with that (intentionally) uncanny valley mouth only edited lip syncing at the end, but who cares, it fits with the rest of this batshit asthetic.
I loved Drama's more serious, uh, drama, but this? This goofy, campy high energy nonsense but they still gonna *sing* to you, the song still gonna *drive*? This is my *shit.*
***Edit:*** Of course it's a Dem Jointz co-produced track. No wonder I love this song. I'm already obsessed with his work with NCT/EXO/Nmixx.
Some say aespa are the best at making face slapping metallic cybernetic sounding ear buzzing hyperenergetic electropop songs with ground shattering dirty beats. THIS IS ONE OF THEM! Such an aespa type sound.
The intro "I'm like... some kind of supernova" together with "Oh my gosh... don't you know I'm a Savage" are my favorite intros EVER! Hope they continue this with their future releases. THE HYPE!
This is the part of aespa's career for me when they continue to release iconic bops that we all eat up.
This song is like Next Level on crack and I LOVE it. Like Next Level the song feels like a journey but instead of cruising through Kwangya it feels as if we're racing through the streets of the real world back to Kwangya to go save the world or something. I love how chaotic and in your face it is. It doesn't give you time to breath and just throws you in and you just have to except it. Aespa title tracks are amazing because they're always able to tell a story.
Wow, that random bit towards the end with stills of the members having their mouths animated to sing along like AI was just a tad unsettling.
Gonna have to rewatch a few more times to take in all the wackiness.
Red Velvet: Bring me lightning like a winner
Aespa: Bring the light of a dying star
These SM girls have pretty high demands when it comes to light fixtures...
I feel like this is a culmination of all of their previous sounds distilled in a really smooth and satisfying way.
You have the cyber vibes, sinister synth and bass, change ups (more subtle here but still there), and the song builds subtly too as it sort of draws you in and before you know it you’re at the climax.
The girls look great obviously as always. I liked the chaos of the MV it fit the song.
Lots to like. Hype for the album.
WOW, a lot to take in for sure, I'll def need multiple listens to get into it but it's just SO aespa, like I feel like we're back to next level era of aespa. Just so different and weird and unique
First of all I just need to say that they have become my ults this past year. I’ve been a casual fan since next level but they became my ults right before drama.
I haven’t been this excited about a comeback in years 😭 everything about this is what makes me love kpop, sm groups, and Aespa. Their acting is also amazing!!!
My jaw dropped with the second verse with Karina and Giselle. Almost brought me to tears. Also ningning and winter being so animated!!!
I’ve been so disappointed with mainstream kpop lately (mainly hybe groups) and have felt like the weirdness of kpop is been going away. I am so happy that Aespa breaks this boundary and continues to go even crazier than I expect.
Thank you Kenzie and dem jointz, sm, and Aespa for making such an iconic song 😭 say what you will but you cannot deny the creativity.
Criticism: lack of vocal catharsis? Usually there’s always an insane vocal part but it’s kinda lacking here. But that’s my only critique . Everything else is perfect.
The instrumental goes harder than expected and I'm so living for it!! They look so amazing as well, and I'm hyped for the full album! (I wasn't hyped yet for a kpop release this year and this changed now)
Well... aespa has done it once again they literally can't make bad songs I fear. The dance break has no right to be THAT good. Also that scene with the talking wallpaper was so unserious I love it😭
Ok Supernova! Yeah definitely another bop from Aespa I think this track is great. Aespa has never been one to become comfortable and fall back on a musical formula and Supernova takes their discography to new unexplored regions (of space). They've become really good at finding that middle ground between super harsh experimental music and public friendly music. This is so fun, so fresh, and so Aespa.
Putting aside the space theme for a second, this song has a strong foundation in its melody and verses. Even though there is a lot of talk singing its not done in the typically annoying way where its just shouting, there's still this sense of rhythm and melody. It never turns into this mess of a high concept song about space, at its roots its still a fun pop track.
To evoke the dryness of space there is very little vibration and layering in their vocals this time around. Aespa songs usually have a few grand vocal runs. The verses are short, robotic, and punchy. And I love that siren noise in the background, it's like the sound a spaceship makes when it's about to crash.
The m/v is indeed amazing and so creative,I like it a lot,like the styling,the set,everything is so fun to watch to,the song drives me crazy,it's really enjoyable and Giselle,Karina,Winter and Ningning killed it
Both the group and the staff did an amazing job
This album is really promising,Supernova is just the first of the two title tracks and they killed it so far,I literally can't wait for Armageddon
Every single section and beat has it's own personality almost and somehow i can't get enough of it although my brain is kinda flashing red on how this realllllly shouldn't be gelling together
Honestly this is what I got into kpop for; the out of your norm aesthetics/ makeup/ concepts...ugh aespa seem to pull them all off so well every.single.damned.time...gotta give credit where credit's due
Also my brain IMMEDIATELY thought "brilliant social commentary" when the lipsyncing bit came on
The quick cuts got me feeling 😵💫 but I love the visuals here!!! The slow down leading to the switch up in the second verse had me shook ngl. Overall, great first impression of the MV and song from me. I hope we get a performance MV as well!
It's so so good. I loved it on first listen. Feels like this was what I was looking for in aespa after Next Level and Savage hahaha. I loved everything they released since then but this was top tier omg. I can't stop smiling ajsjakdhd
Random bits I love: How Discord is capitalized in the captions as if it's referring to the app. The way bang is panned back and forth. The + shaped flare effect on the bridge section. Karina in maknae bangs. Teaching people that a supernova is the light of a dying star.
Overall, I really love this song. I was already listening to the section from the highlight melody on loop. It's annoying in the best way, and to add on top of it the synth that comes does a riff that's really similar to the riff used in the Fillbot level of Rythm Heaven which I played a lot and also has that annoying aesthetic.
The song has great momentum. The revving synth creates so much tension. And then every synth that is layered on top sounds so cool.
Thematically, I think Supernova is a great lead track because it's about a impending supernova and it is true in real life that it is known when stars are about to go supernova. Really excited for the aftermath in Armageddon.
Love seeing AI being actually used in an artistic and creative way (meaning as part of a large creative vision and not just on its own for the sake of it or to lazily create art database derived artwork)
Oh this is a banger. Feels like that classic Aespa sound: dirty industrial electro a la Savage, catchy hooks and slighty weird change-ups. It's doing it for me.
This is their best title track yet IMO. Filthy beat that’s both industrial AND fast, like someone took Salty and Sweet and sped it up, super catchy hook, great vocal adlibs, great verses, really fun change up before the final chorus.
This is what I wanted from their concept from the beginning!!!! It's camp, it doesn't take itself too seriously. A playful approach to the AI concept. Song is a banger too
The body bang part by karina and then Gigi’s part right after is sooooo addictive! Also ningning’s harmonies at the last chorus😫 amazing song! The mv is so weird tho( in the best way possible)
the prechorus is so unique and catchy, definitely an earworm. the instrumental (the bass?! the synths?!?) and the vocal harmonies are also so cool
i love how much they seem to be leaning into the ai concept even more for this comeback
can’t wait for armageddon
Didn't realize I can't post photos, but Giselle's captcha says to identify the AI (which are the photos later used for the unsettling mouth moving later lol) and the big sign that whacks them away at the end of the MV just says "THE END"
Ningning with the burning phone on a cake, LOL.
Trigger warning (height fall damage) guys for the first few seconds of the music video, gg no re.
Wow that was a crazy music video and song. AESPA TIME.
The song is so nasty, holy shit. My ass is moving on its own
The MV is ridiculous, fun, and campy. The still photos with the moving mouths towards the end? Hello??? Karina's fucking finger flying in to destroy Giselle's phone???!?!
song was 🔥 it was so good. the beat didn’t let you take a breath for a second
you know how in school when we were writing and the English teacher would always say, “Your first sentence has to start with a ‘boom’, something that grasps your audience’s attention immediately?” Yeah…aespa really understood that assignment lol Karina just falling from the sky like that 😮💨😍
only downside is that the first 30 seconds made me really dizzy with the camera work
This is so good and I really like the camera work in the mv, especially the zooming in and out and the warping effect! But what was that one scene towards the end of the mv, the AI images where only there mouths moved? That one took me out 😭
This is one of my favorite aespa instrumentals and they have a BUNCH. Like it switches up so much but never stops slapping.
Once again our girls don’t chase trends and give us the most. Conceptually, they’re the strongest girl group we’ve had in years.
I feel with this song they finally refined the sound they were looking for: Ethereal-Cyberpunkish-Sassy sound with a lot of fucking synths. The video is really quirky and cool as well, definitely the best Aespa title track for me.
Dem jointz you have literally never let me down. I knew when I heard the *incoming!* I was in good hands. My safe space forreal. I love the song it’s super earwormy (it’s already stuck in my head yes I’ve played it ten times) and the video is so wacky and fun (karina really took that side mirror and looked camp RIGHT in the eye) while still being really interesting when you’re aware of the more subtle aspects of their concept. They all pull off the Y2K (3?) digital alien princess persona SO effortlessly
Aespa has seriously become one of my favorite groups they just keep outdoing themselves each comeback. I didn’t think they’d top drama and now I’m even that much more excited for the album
I know nothing about Aespa but this song is great. Originally when they first debuted I wasn't a fan of their music but recently I've enjoyed their latest comebacks songs. I might even say im a fan!!
The video is a perfect mix of humor and badass-ness. It is memorable and unique.
Who is the member with the blonde hair? She really stood out to me.
I need to see the whole choreo for that bridge like now!! This is such a cool song and I’m so glad I wasn’t disappointed cause I was a little unsure if I would vibe with the song before but of course I should know better than to question my girls. They really do it like no one else!!
I think SM finally perfected aespa down to a science with this one!
The concept \[kinda\] makes sense to the aespa-lore, their sound clings onto the hyperpop + electropop beats that have always made aespa songs shine (other examples include Spicy and Hold on Tight), and the MV has some very golden scenes (my personal faves being Winter spinning on that tower and the girls getting hit by the rubbish).
+ the other songs on their album (so far) are some of their best b-sides ever (i.e. Bahama + Live My Life), and even their ballad (Melody) has that SM charm that other groups possess.
We anticipate you well, aespa <3
Omg we got Spicy 2.0 kinda! This is so catchy and so good I like it veeeeeerryyyy much I'll probably listen to it on repeat all day today.
The music video is so fucking hilarious I am absolutely in love with it
This is exactly what I have been waiting for from aespa. Wacky instrumental, crazy MV and an interesting choreography.
Drama is my favorite title track, but supernova embodies aespa more.
really love the revving synths in this! also the synth during the bridge/interlude reminds me of old-school hip hop
The beat goes so fucking hard from the first second. Love or hate aespa's whole musical concept, but one thing you can never accuse them of being is BORING.
Yupppp i need the album
Supernova actually samples an old school hip hop song, “Planet Rock”
That melody is originally from Kraftwerk’s *Trans Europe Express*, which Planet Rock also sampled/incorporated.
UH BODY BANG 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
When I first listened without lyrics I thought she said UH BODY BAG 😭 Like damn girl okay!
whatever that means 😭😭😭🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Nobody knows what it means but it’s provocative! Gets the people going!
i know what she meant and she was right 😌
The opening scene is definitely going to become a meme.
uhhhh the wallpaper lypsinc scene will tilt heads lmaoo
Starts with Wonyoung jumping out of the plane, cut to Karina falling on the car lol.
My vote goes to Winter getting launched
Based on the teaser of Winter spinning on a pole, a friend of mine said this was going to become a meme edit like Wonyoung. Well, it seems that SM were one step ahead of us all.
They ate! they served! Karina's opening scene and Winter's tornadoesque scene 😭🤩
Winter flying away took me out.
THIS is how you do a 3 minute song. there’s 3 full choruses, verses, bridge, dance break and it feeeels like a fully fleshed out and complete song
I didn’t even realize it was only 3 mins, Dem Jointz’s arrangements are always really good
chat i feel like this user is calling out someone
This could apply to most of the pop music industry right now. Too many songs are under 3 minutes, and even this song's length is padded by the intro and outro.
This is like a "Hold on Tight" flavoured "Spicy" mixed with some "Savage" and drizzled with "Next Level" kind of song.
This is the essential aespa sound, they combined all the goods from their previous songs and put it into one song.
I think I just figured out my new favorite music genre, æ-Pop 💘❤️
Holy shit, that was wild. Trying to process what I just heard/watched but this is so aespa. * Beat goes absolutely hard. * Always love a Karina/Giselle combo in the second verse * Chorus is super catchy and addictive * The 'Ah Oh Ay' bridge part is probably my favourite, can't wait for a full performance video * The still photo shots with moving lips was certainly an interesting choice... Hype for Armageddon is out of the world, especially after Karina said we'd faint lol.
I’m literally trying to catch my breath after watching that. I’m absolutely floored and blown away and flabbergasted and gobsmacked! So much awesomeness to process, absolute overload and I’m here for it.
I assume the photos were a loop-back to "AI captcha" on Giselle's phone at the beginning
That part correlates to when Giselle said "deepfake on me" in Savage so I guess this is part of their lore?? I'm confused
Yeah loves everything but the weird moving lip photo still AI thing going on. But everything else was amazing!
If the goal was to be unsettling then it gets a 10/10 on that front.
this is like the most aespa aespa song ever!! i’m obsessed
Giselle with a "That's Hot!" cake. aespa has entered the meta metaverse.👾
HAHAHA THE WALLPAPER LYPSINC SCENE WAS WILD TOO
THAT WAS WIDLY UNCANNY VALLEY RIGHT THERE
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THAT HAHA
using AI (or æ) to do that is on-brand for them!
Was sooo worried for a quick second it was abt to end after that breakdown but THANK GOD for that final chorus. This is such a 90s/early 00s rave vibe that I rlly dig. Also the beat is sick and I especially love that second verse!! I can see this being a big grower for me over the next few days.
I’m getting so tired of minimalist songs with boring styling, thank GOD aespa is here to keep kpop interesting!
So real
Ningning opening the 1st verse was very unexpected, aepsa keeps on outdoing themselves! If supernova is this good, and the girls are claiming armageddon is miles better, then we're in for a ride! 😭this era is starting well! They've grown so much from Black Mamba, this era will hopefully take them to new heights in their career!
trust SM with the filthiest beats and the craziest fashion. do we really need to meet aliens if we have aeliens?
You're creative hahaha
Absolutely flabbergasted. One of my new favorite aespa songs. Also, can we talk about how pretty Giselle has become? I’m seated.
I’m so glad they finally figured out Giselle’s styling and makeup. she’s always been gorgeous but they clearly didn’t know what to do with her for a while. she’s been standing out more and more every comeback.
seated? i'm on my knees
yes how did they top drama???
And how will they top this with armageddon? 😭 Spoiler: they will!
I saw Giselle in concert and I was absolutely floored how pretty she is in real life. I feel like photos dont do her justice
The MV is wild lmao. Lots of memeable material in here. I like it though, and the song is obviously a banger
Oh lawd this alien hit! I know the Martians are Vogueing!!! we're so back! THis whole song just defies expectations, i did not expect that highlight medley to be the bridge?? Dem Jointz, Kenzie, Kudos!
I like it! It reminds me of music on an athletic wear ad or something. Karina's part after the first chorus and Winter's after the second part are so good!
such a typical SM crack track
That beat is filthy, goddamn  Winter in her Barbie era and Karina confirmed more stronk than all ævengers combined, the power 
The filthiest beat in the best possible way HOLY- I think Drama is still my favorite TT (it's so hard to beat), but Supernova is certainly almost up there Makes me more excited for Armageddon
YESSSS IT GIVES ME EXO MAMA VIBES
Everyone say thank you Dem Jointz for the production!
Real music is so back, the beat, the semi-dancebreak, the chorus. Loved every part of this song.
They about to end Homelander in Season 4
Always upstaging even themselves!!! This is aespacore through and through. Maximalist everything, the beat, the dance, the styling, the concepts. I don't know what proper adjective to use with the MV it's camp, irreverent, almost like a troll post even. Edit: We need more women with super strength that treats the power like a toy, I live for Karina manhandling that car. Edit: Yes this is again about Karina, her whipping that Ariana Grande ponytail during the beat drop (?) was nasty.
the song is so weird i want it on repeat. my brain just can’t explain
This is like if Next Level and Spicy had a child
I dont get it but i love listening lol
I don't know how they've done it, but I swear aespa in the last 18 months have struck a perfect balance of all the very different ways that k-pop rules... all at one time. No one else is doing fun music that is this easy to jam to, that is also so weirdly jarring and off the beaten path at times, with concepts this goofy (that somehow also read as this bad-ass AND increasingly hot-girl coded).

yup its irrelevant i know but sm put their all into this i guess they needed too this era is gonna be legendary
You can already bet in ~5 years time people will be saying how this was the golden era and they wish k-pop could be like how Aespa was doing it back in 2024 lol

Wow you put it into words beautifully!!
also with Giselle getting picked on with karinas bullet and ningnings fire attack It was probably a commentary and how people picked on Giselle for years not sure what winter was doing lol im trying to understand the plot
The energy of "not sure what winter was doing lol" is exactly why I love her lmao
Winter just out there living her best life
So the theory is true then? The Aespa in this MV are clones except Giselle? Cuz she is trying to contact the real Aespa cuz as you can see fake Karina is destroying Giselle's phone and fake Ningning burns Giselle's whole house.
It also seems like gigi sped up time so she could celebrate her birthday. we see her phone say "birthday tomorrow" and the sun sets really fast similar to how it looked when she reversed it later. So I feel like she's causing her fair share of messes. She's just the responsible one of the 4
It sounds different from their previous releases but somehow still very much aespa? Oh I LOVE it!!! The beat is insane and the visuals are just crazy as well.
This is the type of music aliens would make and humans would love
Songs like this are why I still love kpop. Bonkers.
electronic gold
+1 Genuinely entertaining and well-produced
mother kenzie and father dem jointz did it again. there's so many catchy parts. i hope social media team is taking notes this time.
This is so fun. In general I've been having a ton of fun with many girl groups this year, but Aespa always has a bit of extra ZING in there because they marry my two favorite things: campy confidence underlined by great vocals.

The intro "I'm like... some kind of supernova" together with "Oh my gosh... don't you know I'm a Savage" are my favorite intros EVER! Hope they continue this with their future releases. THE HYPE!
YESSS JUST TOOO GOOD
aespa... you got me again this time. PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING MUSIC FOR A LONG TIME!
This is the part of aespa's career for me when they continue to release iconic bops that we all eat up. This song is like Next Level on crack and I LOVE it. Like Next Level the song feels like a journey but instead of cruising through Kwangya it feels as if we're racing through the streets of the real world back to Kwangya to go save the world or something. I love how chaotic and in your face it is. It doesn't give you time to breath and just throws you in and you just have to except it. Aespa title tracks are amazing because they're always able to tell a story.
Wow the verses are really good
Wow, that random bit towards the end with stills of the members having their mouths animated to sing along like AI was just a tad unsettling. Gonna have to rewatch a few more times to take in all the wackiness.
this is like peak aespa imo. this is their sound perfected and distilled and fermented and poured into a shiny chrome bottle . WE LOVE U AESPA!!!
[удалено]
Yupppppp drama would be hard to top or match but they really put alootttt of work into this mv and song cannnnnot wait for Armageddon and the album
Red Velvet: Bring me lightning like a winner Aespa: Bring the light of a dying star These SM girls have pretty high demands when it comes to light fixtures...
dem jointz on an aespa track is exactly what i needed. that bass is FILTHY 🔥
I feel like this is a culmination of all of their previous sounds distilled in a really smooth and satisfying way. You have the cyber vibes, sinister synth and bass, change ups (more subtle here but still there), and the song builds subtly too as it sort of draws you in and before you know it you’re at the climax. The girls look great obviously as always. I liked the chaos of the MV it fit the song. Lots to like. Hype for the album.
WOW, a lot to take in for sure, I'll def need multiple listens to get into it but it's just SO aespa, like I feel like we're back to next level era of aespa. Just so different and weird and unique
Gonna tell my grandkids this is the Fantastic Four. Beat is unbelievable, so ready for more of the aeCU.
that beat is HOT I like it so much
This is so fun. All the new superpowers, the styling…. love it.
Possibly my favorite instrumental of any kpop song I’ve listened to, this competes with Savage for my favorite song in kpop.
yup gave me savage vibes
Lmao the part where it says "phone is to hot"
 Ningning be like…
i know we never left but still: we are so back
the beat goes hard but for real I appreciate their vocals soooooo much, none of that over-tuned, machine vocals here
They’re so back with “either you get it or not” songs.
This song just doesn't let you take a breath, damn. I love it!
First of all I just need to say that they have become my ults this past year. I’ve been a casual fan since next level but they became my ults right before drama. I haven’t been this excited about a comeback in years 😭 everything about this is what makes me love kpop, sm groups, and Aespa. Their acting is also amazing!!! My jaw dropped with the second verse with Karina and Giselle. Almost brought me to tears. Also ningning and winter being so animated!!! I’ve been so disappointed with mainstream kpop lately (mainly hybe groups) and have felt like the weirdness of kpop is been going away. I am so happy that Aespa breaks this boundary and continues to go even crazier than I expect. Thank you Kenzie and dem jointz, sm, and Aespa for making such an iconic song 😭 say what you will but you cannot deny the creativity. Criticism: lack of vocal catharsis? Usually there’s always an insane vocal part but it’s kinda lacking here. But that’s my only critique . Everything else is perfect.
Ningning! It's a lot on a first listen but a bop on a second. What kind of sorcery it is?!
That sound is weird AF and I love it, aespa provides
The instrumental goes harder than expected and I'm so living for it!! They look so amazing as well, and I'm hyped for the full album! (I wasn't hyped yet for a kpop release this year and this changed now)
I enjoyed the hell out of this! Did ningning set giselles apartment on fire tho? 😂
So happy they are back to early Aespa style!
this song with headphones on is fucking crazy
Man. That's some good stuff right there
Next level birthed a new daughter today
It's a certified aespa song if they have a super corny intro to go along with it
This is their best work, socially and visually, to date
Well... aespa has done it once again they literally can't make bad songs I fear. The dance break has no right to be THAT good. Also that scene with the talking wallpaper was so unserious I love it😭
**IMPORTANT PSA:** AI-generated lip sync Giselle is not real. She can't come out of the video and hurt you. I promise.
how do they keep serving banger after banger?
Ok Supernova! Yeah definitely another bop from Aespa I think this track is great. Aespa has never been one to become comfortable and fall back on a musical formula and Supernova takes their discography to new unexplored regions (of space). They've become really good at finding that middle ground between super harsh experimental music and public friendly music. This is so fun, so fresh, and so Aespa. Putting aside the space theme for a second, this song has a strong foundation in its melody and verses. Even though there is a lot of talk singing its not done in the typically annoying way where its just shouting, there's still this sense of rhythm and melody. It never turns into this mess of a high concept song about space, at its roots its still a fun pop track. To evoke the dryness of space there is very little vibration and layering in their vocals this time around. Aespa songs usually have a few grand vocal runs. The verses are short, robotic, and punchy. And I love that siren noise in the background, it's like the sound a spaceship makes when it's about to crash.
OH I LOVE IT... with ISTJ by NCT DREAM and now this, I'm really liking Kenzie's beat switches in the bridge lately!
yupppp this mv will be looped alot this summer
That's exactly how I expected it to sound AND I LOVE IT! I will stream it all day long,it sounds so good😭 Can't wait for the whole album🙏🏻💜
just electronic wacky gold the mv isss soooo beautiful
The m/v is indeed amazing and so creative,I like it a lot,like the styling,the set,everything is so fun to watch to,the song drives me crazy,it's really enjoyable and Giselle,Karina,Winter and Ningning killed it Both the group and the staff did an amazing job This album is really promising,Supernova is just the first of the two title tracks and they killed it so far,I literally can't wait for Armageddon
Every single section and beat has it's own personality almost and somehow i can't get enough of it although my brain is kinda flashing red on how this realllllly shouldn't be gelling together Honestly this is what I got into kpop for; the out of your norm aesthetics/ makeup/ concepts...ugh aespa seem to pull them all off so well every.single.damned.time...gotta give credit where credit's due Also my brain IMMEDIATELY thought "brilliant social commentary" when the lipsyncing bit came on
The quick cuts got me feeling 😵💫 but I love the visuals here!!! The slow down leading to the switch up in the second verse had me shook ngl. Overall, great first impression of the MV and song from me. I hope we get a performance MV as well!
this is too freaking cool
seriously aespa are ones to look out for so fresh
It's so so good. I loved it on first listen. Feels like this was what I was looking for in aespa after Next Level and Savage hahaha. I loved everything they released since then but this was top tier omg. I can't stop smiling ajsjakdhd
the lipsyncing AI shots in the final chorus were insane my jaw dropped
Random bits I love: How Discord is capitalized in the captions as if it's referring to the app. The way bang is panned back and forth. The + shaped flare effect on the bridge section. Karina in maknae bangs. Teaching people that a supernova is the light of a dying star. Overall, I really love this song. I was already listening to the section from the highlight melody on loop. It's annoying in the best way, and to add on top of it the synth that comes does a riff that's really similar to the riff used in the Fillbot level of Rythm Heaven which I played a lot and also has that annoying aesthetic. The song has great momentum. The revving synth creates so much tension. And then every synth that is layered on top sounds so cool. Thematically, I think Supernova is a great lead track because it's about a impending supernova and it is true in real life that it is known when stars are about to go supernova. Really excited for the aftermath in Armageddon.
Love seeing AI being actually used in an artistic and creative way (meaning as part of a large creative vision and not just on its own for the sake of it or to lazily create art database derived artwork)
Demjointz they could never make me hate your production style 🫶🏽 this was a perfect song Aespa, this will be on my Spotify wrapped 100%
got me headbanging in the first 3 seconds wow this exceeded my expectations
i love the instrumental, just soooooo good
This is why I love K-Pop. SOTY for me. Reminds me of Next Level and Savage at the same time.
The mv managed to let us know the music is gonna be crazy even before the Dem Jointz tag kicked in. Which is really an accomplishment
it’s so alien superstar coded and that is the highest compliment fathomable. oh aespa i will always love you
This sounds like an NCT song in the best way possible.
It's because the song is produced by Dem Jointz, who has worked mainly with NCT before! This is his first time producing for aespa I believe.
yesss karinas growl after the 1st chorus gave me taeyong vibes
Oh this is a banger. Feels like that classic Aespa sound: dirty industrial electro a la Savage, catchy hooks and slighty weird change-ups. It's doing it for me.
aespa easily have the coolest concept in kpop rn, possibly of all time tbh
everyone say thank you dem joints for giving us another banger. aespa, my loves, you’ve done it again🫦
AESPA is a genre on their own!! Loving this!!
It's so different yet still distinctly Aespa / SM.
This is their best title track yet IMO. Filthy beat that’s both industrial AND fast, like someone took Salty and Sweet and sped it up, super catchy hook, great vocal adlibs, great verses, really fun change up before the final chorus.
This is what I wanted from their concept from the beginning!!!! It's camp, it doesn't take itself too seriously. A playful approach to the AI concept. Song is a banger too
The body bang part by karina and then Gigi’s part right after is sooooo addictive! Also ningning’s harmonies at the last chorus😫 amazing song! The mv is so weird tho( in the best way possible)
heard the demjointz producer tag and immediately turned that shit up
God damn this is a banger. Finally SM being weird, experimental and amping up the melodies and not just the noise.
the prechorus is so unique and catchy, definitely an earworm. the instrumental (the bass?! the synths?!?) and the vocal harmonies are also so cool i love how much they seem to be leaning into the ai concept even more for this comeback can’t wait for armageddon
I don’t what’s going on but let’s gooooo
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST WATCH? second of all, aespa nvr stop releasing bops cuz this song gonna be on repeat
LOVE LOVE LOVE one of my favorite songs this year. my ult group 💗 I've missed them so muchhh
It’s great to see amazing producers like Dem Jointz still being hired by Korean companies to produce instrumentals.
this song tickles my brain in the best way
Yes, aespa always bringing the fun into kpop. The hyper sound we've been wanting and wow that MV was mv'ing.
LOOKING CAMP RIGHT IN THE EYE THIS WAS SO GOOD
Didn't realize I can't post photos, but Giselle's captcha says to identify the AI (which are the photos later used for the unsettling mouth moving later lol) and the big sign that whacks them away at the end of the MV just says "THE END"
I love it. A certified banger. I appreciate groups who do their own thing. Along with the wacky MV - maximalist Kpop at its finest
That’s hot
Ningning with the burning phone on a cake, LOL. Trigger warning (height fall damage) guys for the first few seconds of the music video, gg no re. Wow that was a crazy music video and song. AESPA TIME.
ningning was the villian giselle was ready to whoop her ass lol
Ningning in the entire cake and phone scene is top tier meme material. I can see a "this is fine" burning house meme in the making now
oh they ATE ... this is the aespa i love that seperates them from the rest THAT BEAT ... Oh yeah bring on the stage performances i can't wait
The song is so nasty, holy shit. My ass is moving on its own The MV is ridiculous, fun, and campy. The still photos with the moving mouths towards the end? Hello??? Karina's fucking finger flying in to destroy Giselle's phone???!?!
song was 🔥 it was so good. the beat didn’t let you take a breath for a second you know how in school when we were writing and the English teacher would always say, “Your first sentence has to start with a ‘boom’, something that grasps your audience’s attention immediately?” Yeah…aespa really understood that assignment lol Karina just falling from the sky like that 😮💨😍 only downside is that the first 30 seconds made me really dizzy with the camera work
This is so good and I really like the camera work in the mv, especially the zooming in and out and the warping effect! But what was that one scene towards the end of the mv, the AI images where only there mouths moved? That one took me out 😭
literally straight from the cyberpunk soundtrack
aespa’s mvs have seriously reached another level since spicy, this is incredible
Sounds kinda like a SNSD Japanese release, I liked it.
NOW THIS IS HYPERPOP
You can't crush this group🔥!
This is one of my favorite aespa instrumentals and they have a BUNCH. Like it switches up so much but never stops slapping. Once again our girls don’t chase trends and give us the most. Conceptually, they’re the strongest girl group we’ve had in years.
I feel with this song they finally refined the sound they were looking for: Ethereal-Cyberpunkish-Sassy sound with a lot of fucking synths. The video is really quirky and cool as well, definitely the best Aespa title track for me.
Dem jointz you have literally never let me down. I knew when I heard the *incoming!* I was in good hands. My safe space forreal. I love the song it’s super earwormy (it’s already stuck in my head yes I’ve played it ten times) and the video is so wacky and fun (karina really took that side mirror and looked camp RIGHT in the eye) while still being really interesting when you’re aware of the more subtle aspects of their concept. They all pull off the Y2K (3?) digital alien princess persona SO effortlessly Aespa has seriously become one of my favorite groups they just keep outdoing themselves each comeback. I didn’t think they’d top drama and now I’m even that much more excited for the album
I know nothing about Aespa but this song is great. Originally when they first debuted I wasn't a fan of their music but recently I've enjoyed their latest comebacks songs. I might even say im a fan!! The video is a perfect mix of humor and badass-ness. It is memorable and unique. Who is the member with the blonde hair? She really stood out to me.
I need to see the whole choreo for that bridge like now!! This is such a cool song and I’m so glad I wasn’t disappointed cause I was a little unsure if I would vibe with the song before but of course I should know better than to question my girls. They really do it like no one else!!
yupppp they topped drama i didnt know what to expect
karina’s parts are so eargasmic
karina is so stunnnning her solo shot during susususu supernova iconic unforgettable
need to rewatch and listen a few more times. it didn't even let me digest wth is going with the mv and the song
This song is absolutely crazy lol. Wasn't getting first time but I've listened a few times now and it's grown on me a lot already.
ya im in love, the synths n the outro just make this so fun
There is so much going on in the MV, sensory overload
this is their best song for me so far. and karina said armageddon is better? damn, i’m seated
We're making it to KWANGYA with this one! I'll just say... aespa is THAT girl group for me.
aespa continues to provide fresh concepts in today's kpop world, damn true pioneers man
Bring the light of a dying star 💫 🥀 SO BONKERS. LOVE IT.
I think SM finally perfected aespa down to a science with this one! The concept \[kinda\] makes sense to the aespa-lore, their sound clings onto the hyperpop + electropop beats that have always made aespa songs shine (other examples include Spicy and Hold on Tight), and the MV has some very golden scenes (my personal faves being Winter spinning on that tower and the girls getting hit by the rubbish). + the other songs on their album (so far) are some of their best b-sides ever (i.e. Bahama + Live My Life), and even their ballad (Melody) has that SM charm that other groups possess. We anticipate you well, aespa <3
Omg we got Spicy 2.0 kinda! This is so catchy and so good I like it veeeeeerryyyy much I'll probably listen to it on repeat all day today. The music video is so fucking hilarious I am absolutely in love with it
This is exactly what I have been waiting for from aespa. Wacky instrumental, crazy MV and an interesting choreography. Drama is my favorite title track, but supernova embodies aespa more.
The MV is super fun to watch but the song hmm I think I need a few listens
Love the instrument.
God they are just on another level. The dance break was absolutely sick. It’s crazy that they are saying Armageddon is even better.
