About the Song

《Spicy》 is a dynamic track by aespa, featured as the title song of their third mini album My World, released in 2023 through SM Entertainment. Marking a bold shift in tone, the song captures aespa’s confident expansion beyond their established lore, pairing sharp attitude with vibrant energy as it introduces a brighter yet more daring version of the group. Leading up to the release, SM confirmed the album’s early-May launch after internal delays, with the final direction solidified to better align with aespa’s identity, and the official tracklist revealed 《Spicy》 as the album’s centerpiece. Accompanied by a visually striking music video released alongside the EP on May 8, the song set the tone for the My World era, later extending its impact with a remix by Nitepunk, reinforcing aespa’s global pop presence and fearless approach to reinvention.
