Set to be released at 1 PM on various music sites on the 27th, the single 'Dirty Work' has broken through approximately 1.01 million pre-orders (as of June 26), positioning aespa on the brink of achieving their sixth million-seller following their previous releases: the second mini-album 'Girls', the third mini-album 'MY WORLD', the fourth mini-album 'Drama', the first full album 'Armageddon', and the fifth mini-album 'Whiplash'.
This single features a double title track 'Dirty Work', a version featuring Flo Milli, an English version, and an Instrumental, making up a total of four tracks. 'Dirty Work' is a dance track known for its captivating synth bass and cool vocal melody, offering a fresh vocal charm of aespa with its assertive lyrics and a cool, chill vibe.
Known for setting trends with their powerful point choreography in every track, aespa is expected to deliver a strong impact with this song as well, showcasing a range of dynamic movements from hip and powerful to relaxed and sexy, along with a dance break that highlights each member's unique personality, and an energetic final chorus that builds with the music.
Additionally, the music video, which opens simultaneously on the YouTube SMTOWN channel today, was shot at the Hyundai Steel Dangjin Works, adding a 'metallic taste' with its vast storage yard, massive heavy machinery, and 225 extras, against the backdrop of a realistic industrial site. The aespa members transform into fearless resistors, ready to take on any 'dirty work' for their comrades, promising an unprecedented visual feast.
Meanwhile, the aespa single 'Dirty Work', including the title track and Instrumental, will also be released as a physical album today. On July 4th, a limited edition 'Dirty Work' (Dirty Crew Ring Ver.) will be released, symbolizing the bond between aespa and their official fan club, MY.
