"Supernova" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Aespa for their first studio album Armageddon. It was released by SM Entertainment on May 13, 2024, as the lead single from the album. Written by Kenzie and composed by her alongside Paris Alexa and Dem Jointz, it is a dance and hyperpop song that incorporates hip-hop and EDM with lyrics comparing Aespa's expanded world view to a supernova.

The song experienced huge commercial success in South Korea, scoring a perfect all-kill and becoming the group's first song to top the Circle Digital Chart. It remained at number one for eleven non-consecutive weeks and became the best-performing single of the year. "Supernova" also topped charts in Hong Kong and entered the top ten in Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. It peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Global 200 and number six on the Global Excl. US, becoming their first top-ten hit on the latter chart. It received numerous accolades at year-end award ceremonies, including Song of the Year at the 2024 Korea Grand Music Awards, 2024 MAMA Awards, 2024 Melon Music Awards, 39th Golden Disc Awards and 22nd Korean Music Awards.

## Background and release

## Composition

[edit]

"Supernova" was written and composed by Kenzie, with Paris Alexa contributing to the composition, and Dem Jointz participating in both the composition and arrangement. The track samples the 1982 tune, "Planet Rock", by American hip hop artists Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force.[6] Described as a dance and hyper-pop song characterized by "heavy kick and bass", "catchy top line", and "synth melody" with lyrics about "Aespa's expanded world view by comparing the beginning of an event that opens a door to another dimension to a supernova, expressing the beginning of a big explosion".[7][8] "Supernova" was composed in the key of B minor, with a tempo of 120 beats per minute.[9]

Gil Kaufman of Billboard, described the track as "the dance floor-ready" fusion of "hip-hop beats, EDM rhythms and smooth pop vocals".[7] Uproxx's Derrick Rossignol characterized "Supernova" as a "cross-genre banger" that combines "elements of pop, dance, hip-hop, and electronic music into one cohesive package".[10]

The "futuristic" music video shows Aespa in "dynamic and witty characterizations",[41] displaying their superpowers throughout the city.[10] It features each member possessing an "otherworldly power" - Karina's super strength, Ningning's control over fire, Winter's floating in the air and Giselle's time-looping.[6] The visual starts with Karina surviving a fall from way high up onto a car. Moments later, she leaves the shattered vehicle unharmed.[10] Other scenes include the member "ripping the side mirrors off parked cars, flashing [her] vampire fangs and lifting up vehicles with one hand".[7]

Additionally, AI technology was used to move still photos of Aespa's faces in synergy with the lyrics of the song.[42] Member Ningning revealed that she "laughed so much when [she] saw the AI scene", describing it as "not something you expect". The singer also realized that "even in a world where AI covers and AI-anything are so popular", the technology will not be able to "replicate our expressions and the temperatures of humans".[43]
