About the Song
《Life’s Too Short》 is a single by aespa, released on June 24, 2022 through SM Entertainment in partnership with Warner Records, and stands out as the group’s first track recorded entirely in English. Written by MNEK alongside Becky Hill and Sam Klempner, with production led by Sam Klempner, the song delivers a confident message about self-worth and emotional boundaries, brushing off judgment and negativity with a bright, pop-forward sound that emphasizes independence, resilience, and the freedom to live unapologetically on one’s own terms.
[FULL LYRICS – ROMANIZATION & ENGLISH ONLY]
The lyrics speak from the perspective of someone refusing to be shaken by judgment, gossip, or cruelty thrown from a distance. They draw a clear line between living authentically and wasting energy on voices that only exist to criticize. Each refrain reinforces a calm but firm resolve: life is too short to shrink, explain, or apologize for joy. Rather than reacting to negativity, the speaker chooses self-respect, independence, and momentum, turning indifference into strength and enjoyment into quiet defiance.
