About the Song
《aenergy》 (stylized as ænergy) is a track by aespa, serving as the opening song of their first mini album Savage, released in 2021 under SM Entertainment. Written and produced with the involvement of SM’s veteran creator Yoo Young-jin alongside international collaborators, the song functions as a powerful introduction to aespa’s identity, emphasizing confidence, unity, and constant growth. Rather than following a traditional verse-driven structure, 《aenergy》 presents itself as a declaration—highlighting the members’ roles, their connection to their æ counterparts, and the momentum that drives them forward—setting the tone for the album’s world-building and positioning the group as a bold, self-defined presence in modern K-pop.

The speaker embraces intensity and confidence, presenting strength as both individual power and collective synergy. By repeating ideas of getting better every day, the song frames hardship as fuel for evolution. Identity, unity, and momentum become sources of empowerment, turning struggle into proof of progress and forward motion.
