"Drama" is available on all digital streaming platforms and in various limited-edition physical configurations today. See all the configurations and purchase "Drama" HERE.

To celebrate the release, the global girl group just served up the music video for the new single and title track 'Drama' Hummable chimes give way to claps as aespa alternate between breathy vocals and bold rhymes laced with sass, spirit, and style. Against wailing guitar, the chantable chorus repeats, “I bring all the drama.”

The EP highlights aespa’s evolution from every angle as vocalists, performers, and storytellers. It also prominently displays their incredible aptitude for sonic versatility. Among many standouts, “Trick or Trick” bobs and weaves between manic future-facing production and unpredictable cadences. A buoyant guitar riff and glitchy beat power up the sultry groove of “Don’t Blink,” while “Hot Air Balloon” floats away on catchy hooks. The dance floor-ready “YOLO” builds towards an ecstatic refrain. Then, there’s “You.” Acoustic guitar wraps around piano punctuated by finger-snaps and dreamy strings as towering vocals soar. These six tracks unlock another level altogether for aespa.

aespa set the stage for Drama with the bold, bright, and buzzing anthem “Better Things.” They delivered a stunning and showstopping performance of the song on ABC’s Good Morning America. Recently, multiplatinum superstar RAYE hopped on the Official Remix - listen HERE. “Better Things” is available as a limited-edition physical single from the US Official aespa Online Store now - purchase HERE. The track list includes the original single as well as special remixes, sped up/slowed down versions, and an instrumental version.

aespa has consistently elevated K-pop to new heights, and Drama will be no exception. It follows MY WORLD – The 3^rd Mini Album, which bowed at #9 on the Billboard 200 and marked their second #1 debut on the Top Album Sales Chart.
