In less than four short years, aespa has become one of the biggest K-pop groups in the world. Now, Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning are taking things to the next level with their Japanese debut single, “Hot Mess.”
"Hot Mess" is a high-energy song that melds edgy electronic beats with a powerful pop melody, carrying a message of independence with aespa taking ownership of being a hot mess: “So if you like it, I can take you to my world.” The single, which follows the group’s first full-length studio album Armageddon, comes with two additional songs: the R&B-focused “Sun and Moon” and “Zoom Zoom,” which also serves as the end credits theme song for the popular anime BEYBLADE X.
The accompanying music video amplifies the song's impact, featuring aespa in visually stunning, Japanese pop culture-influenced settings that highlight their charisma and style. With intricate choreography and striking visuals, "Hot Mess" is a feast for both the eyes and ears, solidifying aespa's place at the forefront of the K-pop scene.
In an Uproxx cover story, Karina shared the ethos of aespa: “We want to be known as artists and leaders who give positive energy to our fans through our music, energy, and message.”
