‘Better Things’ is aespa’s second fully English single, following July 2022’s ‘Life’s Too Short’. Meanwhile, the accompanying music video follows the girl group as they chase a mystical creature, which leads them to tropical paradise.

“I’m sorry that it hurts you / No, I’m sorry I ain’t sorry / ​aespa, big girls making money / ​aespa, you’re our number one fan now / You can only see me at a sold-out show,” the quartet sing on the bridge of ‘Better Things’.

‘Better Things’ is aespa’s second release of 2023, following their May mini-album ‘MY WORLD’ and its title track ‘Spicy’. The project also included the pre-release single ‘Welcome to MY World’, and the songs ‘Salty & Sweet’, ‘Thirsty’, ‘Till We Meet Again’ and ‘I’m Unhappy’.

At a press conference for the release, the girl group revealed that their first full-length album is in the works. Leader Karina also shared that they “do want to include” the solo tracks aespa performed during their ‘SYNK: Hyper Line’ concert in February in the record.
