About the Song
《Welcome to My World》 is a collaborative track recorded by aespa alongside the virtual artist nævis, serving as a pre-release single from their third mini album My World, released in 2023 through SM Entertainment. The song was written and composed by ELLE SUE, Hyun Ji-won, and Danke, with additional composition contributions from Mich Hansen, Jacob “UBIZ” Uchorczak, Celine Svanbäck, and Patrizia Helander. Framed as an invitation into aespa’s expanding universe, the track blends atmospheric pop with emotional warmth, symbolizing the moment where separate worlds, voices, and identities cross invisible boundaries to become one shared reality, reinforcing the group’s core narrative of connection, coexistence, and stepping beyond fear into a newly awakened world.

Through the fading fog and isolation, the song speaks of crossing invisible boundaries that once kept two worlds apart, inviting someone to escape fear and confinement and step into a shared reality. As walls fall away, dreams begin to bloom, and what starts as a quiet connection grows into a world built together, where different languages carry the same meaning. It reflects the moment when separate identities align, when trust replaces distance, and a new world awakens through unity, courage, and the belief that two can truly become one.
