Forthcoming second mini album due July 8th
Globally beloved K-Pop girl group Aespa make their English-language debut with the irresistible single “Life’s Too Short” via Warner Records/SM Entertainment. Originally debuted at Coachella earlier this year, “Life’s Too Short” is a blissful pop song featuring catchy guitar riffs and bright, hopeful vocals that showcase the girl group’s youthful energy and positive ambition to enjoy life without regrets. This is the second single from their hotly anticipated EP Girls – The 2nd Mini Album out on July 8th. “Life’s Too Short” is accompanied by a glossy video that captures their unique style, personality, and, of course, slick choreography.
“‘Life’s Too Short’ contains a message to all our MYs to stay true to yourselves and spread love because life is too short, so I hope everyone listens to it and receives positive energy!” Aespa shares.
With its swanky, R&B-inspired production and layered harmonies, “Life’s Too Short” is a breezy earworm about living your truth that doubles as a vocal showcase for members Karina, Giselle, Winter and Ningning. “I’m doing me regardless and I don’t care what you say about it / and it don’t matter if you like it or not,” aespa sings on the catchy chorus over acoustic guitar and staccato beats. “I’m having all this fun so, why would I ever stop?”
The release arrives ahead of Aespa’s upcoming, intimate fan events at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. Originally scheduled as one night only for Sunday, June 26th, a second date was recently added for Monday, June 27th due to high demand. During the event, Aespa will perform new music off their forthcoming EP. The girls are also set to make their US late night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 29th after signing a global deal with Warner Records.
The global stars already have momentum on their side. Last fall’s debut EP, Savage – The 1st Mini Album bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard 200, the highest entry for a K-Pop girl group’s debut in history. Additionally, the project claimed a spot on ten Billboard charts.
Aespa is a fierce female foursome, who in an unprecedented move secured the fastest climb to 100 million views on their debut video for any K-Pop group in YouTube history with their 2020 release, “Black Mamba.” Aespa’s name is derived from a combination of “ae” (avatar and experience) + “aspect.” Each of the four members has a correlating avatar in the virtual world created from their personal data.
