aespa have released an English version of their single ‘Whiplash’, alongside a Steve Aoki remix and sped-up version via SM Entertainment / Virgin Records.
The K-pop group’s original version of ‘Whiplash’ has accumulated nearly 150 million YouTube views and charted on Billboard’s World Albums and Global 200 charts. The house track features a bass-driven beat and showcases the group’s confident attitude.
“We’re so excited to share these new versions of ‘Whiplash’ with our global Mys and to have Steve Aoki remix the song,” aespa share. “The new English version and remix have a different charm from the original and, since it’s a song we can now sing with even more global Mys, we’re excited for the day we get to perform it on stage.”
Steve Aoki adds: “I’m so excited to team up with aespa on ‘Whiplash’. The original already has such an electrifying energy, so getting to collaborate with the group to bring a fresh new vibe to the record was a fun creative challenge.”
The release follows aespa’s fifth mini-album ‘Whiplash’ and their first full-length album ‘Armageddon’, which featured the single ‘Supernova’. The track spent 15 consecutive weeks at number one on Korea’s Melon and Genie platforms.
The group will return to the UK for SMTOWN LIVE at Allianz Twickenham Stadium. The dates read:
