Definitely something fresh for them, while still feeling very aespa
Immediate response after listening once is that I fucking love it
they all look so good too (obviously), but damn
Off to loop it I go
The synth bass line is crazy. Music video was so fun.
this song is mcdonald’s sprite in musical form 😵💫
that dirty bass line is sososo good — early 2000’s club banger realness, but also classic Charli XCX; so for those who were worried that they’d given up their electronic sound, we’re all good.
this song is gonna go crazy at Governor’s Ball & Outside Lands, i cannot wait.
Girls & Savage are about to have their crowns taken i fear
What a bop holy shit. What a great way to start the week. Thank you, Aespa.
Love the MV editing and direction are getting better and the concept are refreshing. The visuals are insane, seems like LSM Like Planning really hold down their MV production before now thankfully its gone. The song chorus grow on you the more you listen. Overall its weird song at first listen , its like Next Level to me but an upbeat version. The lyrics are bit let down…but i guess its still can be popular and successful like her sister Next Level. Lets get that 1st win !!
What a fun song and MV! The girls look stunning, serving looks left and right! The beat goes hard, I love it. I also very much enjoyed the more rapping parts, especially Giselle’s. And ofc they slay with the vocals and they include their always fun adlibs and sound effects 😁 very different from them, they manage to combine bright looks and the hard hitting sounds of most of their TTs. It’s an anthem embracing the 00s and the teen movie culture, but in no point does it get boring
Aespa can really pull off any concept it seems. Loved the 2000s aesthetic and the song is perfect to be a summer anthem. Can’t wait to see them perform this at Outside Lands.
Giselle is a 10/10 I agree🤷♀️
as much as I liked the previous title tracks, I love this much more knowing that the girls are 100% committed to this, and love it themselves. i cant wait to watch them perform 🥰
I love this so much. MYs waited so long for this banger.
I fuxking LOVE IT!
This takes me again when Murikan Pop was it’s Prime circa Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Rihanna, Kesha etc. all this MPGs were slaying the charts!!
This also gives me Britney’s Toxic/Circus Era slash When I Grow Up by Pussycat Dolls
Electro Dance Pop done right. This is definitely better than Girls and Savage for me!
Gotta say I miss Kwangya, but I seem to be the only one 🥲 But that means this is more GP friendly than Girls so I’m glad they get to experiment with their sound and concept. Can’t wait for the live stages!!
I liked it a lot! Did anyone else think that Winter was saying “I’m too spicy for you hoe” at first?
Aespa’s title track ranking so far:
•1. Black Mamba
•2. Spicy
•3. Savage
•4. Next Level
•5 Girls
Spicy might take over Black Mamba soon I’m afraid 👏🏻
The production and sound design are so fucking weird and I’m 1000% here for it! No-skip mini, staying true to their image and vibe. Absolute bangers!
Aespa but make it summer, like the younger sister of f(x)’s Hot Summer
They really nailed their sound on this one, it’s still aespa but it somehow still sounds so fresh and new!!!! Also I love how much it comes through the girls love this song even from the MV
Also Gieselle 😳
I was wondering how that hook would work from the preview and all my worries have been destroyed by this banger of a track.
The chorus/post-chorus structure is SO GOOD. The bassline is insane, the melodies are fantastic, and even the rapping fits like a glove. Hats off to the girls and SM for taking the group in a new direction while also keeping a bit of hyperpop in their sound.
Definitely one of my favorite MV’s from them *already*. Seeing them out on location, much like Welcome To My World, is just a great change of pace for the group – and much needed IMO. Really puts more focus on the members.
GIGI’S RAP???? YES YOU ARE A 10 OUT OF 10!!!! I am in love with this entire album! Certified summer bops I’ll be listening to all summer long
I’m really vibing with this song. I love it when artists release summer bops at the beginning of Spring, now we can jam from May – August (October if you live in Texas like me 😂).
I also love the nostalgia of the mv, I’m a millennial so I grew up on Britney, Christina and Beyonce. And what I find fun about the references is those artists did this type of styling early on in their careers when they were teens/early 20s like aespa currently is. So it was perfect for them to reference it.
And when I think of how different this song is from Welcome to My World, I am just shook. aespa (and one other group) got me to branch out from my favorites. so excited to learn more and watch them continue to grow.
Love the styling. Especially at the end with the wigs. Blue hair Gigi omg.
I have to make a major complaint though, feels like Ningning is being gated, no vocal runs or extravagant high notes or anything fancy. Wtf let the mainslayer flex. She didn’t have any vocal displays the whole album, except for the short high note combo with Winter in Salty and Sweet.
The harmonizing was everywhere; I loved it. The chorus was good (ring the fire alarm!), but the post chorus was even better. Ningning and Winter’s combo in 2nd verse was my fave part.
The choreo for challenge part was very spicy! Next Level and Savage are still a lot more distinct and fun though.
Personally, I dislike when a term is overused throughout any song, so hearing “spicy” so often was a bit much for me, but that’s a general not specific critique. Same for Kep1er’s “Giddy” and other songs.
slay
The synth rocks my world
I’m so happy their comeback is on my BDay!^^
Giselle saying she’s a 10 out of 10 honestly (she’s right) followed by blonde wavy hair Karina. Even as a gay man I died, too much
Woooo lets go
Definitely something fresh for them, while still feeling very aespa

The song is loud and fun, I love it so much
This is hard to say but spicy maybe their best title track so far
Aespa get better and better every comeback!! This is such a jam
ugh such a summer bop.
Your new Regina George/Avril Lavigne/Britney Spears
