aespa “Welcome To MY World” Lyrics

Hangul

흐릿하게 드리운
안갯속 All alone
널 가로막은 경계선
하나 둘 걷히면

끝없이 또 Walk away
널 가둔 그 미로
Sweet escape and break away
초대해 내게로

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
발끝의 경계를 넘어
It’s a new world
마주하는 You and me
다른 언어 속에서
같은 의미를 가진 너
너와 내가 하나라고
다시 한번 느껴져

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

발걸음을 따라서
꿈들은 피어나고
우리 둘의 세상은
서서히 커져가 Oh

서롤 담은 그 눈빛에
손 맞잡은 순간
서로 다른 두 세상이
꼭 맞닿은 순간

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
발끝의 경계를 넘어
It’s a new world
마주하는 You and me
다른 언어 속에서
같은 의미를 가진 너
너와 내가 하나라고
다시 한번 느껴져

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

This city’s so pretty when your lights on
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
You wanna come get it ready let’s go
Get it Get it Get it Get it Yeah Let’s go
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
You wanna come get it ready let’s go

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
Only we own the city
It’s the REAL WORLD
시작되는 You and me
서로 다른 색으로
같은 꿈을 그릴 때
선명해진 목소리는
새로운 세계를 깨우지

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

(Da ra ra ra…)

Translation

Under the gauzy veil
In the fog, All alone
Blocked by a border line
Lifts away a bit by bit

Again, endlessly Walk away
Trapped inside the maze
Sweet escape and break away
Here’s the invitation come to me

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
Beyond where feet fear to tread
It’s a new world
You and me, face to face
In different languages
Your truth remains the same
Again, feels like
We are one

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

Wherever you tread
Flowers bloom in your wake
This world created by the two of us
Gently grows, Oh

With those looks that cradle each other
In that moment our hands clasp
The moment two different worlds
Make perfect contact

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
Beyond where feet fear to tread
It’s a new world
You and me, face to face
In different languages
Your truth remains the same
Again, feels like
We are one

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

This city’s so pretty when your lights on
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
You wanna come get it ready let’s go
Get it Get it Get it Get it Yeah Let’s go
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
This city’s so pretty when your lights on
You wanna come get it ready let’s go

Hey baby, Welcome To MY World
Only we own the city
It’s the REAL WORLD
Here we go, You and me
When our different colors
Paint the same dream
A voice rings out clearer
Awakening a new world

Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

(Da ra ra ra…)
Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World
Welcome To MY World

aespa “Welcome To MY World” Meaning

“Welcome to MY World” by aespa featuring nævis is a dreamy and emotional song that invites listeners into aespa’s expanding universe. Blending soft orchestral sounds with cinematic vocals, the track marks a new chapter in the group’s lore while symbolizing connection, growth, and stepping into a new reality together.

The title carries a double meaning. “MY World” refers both to aespa’s personal universe and to their fandom, MY. Through the song, aespa warmly welcomes fans into their evolving world while also introducing nævis their AI companion into the real world for the first time within the group’s storyline.

Lyrically, the song explores leaving behind loneliness, uncertainty, and isolation to enter a brighter and more meaningful space. The journey shown in the music video, especially the forest imagery, symbolizes transformation, freedom, and discovering a deeper connection between reality and fantasy.

Unlike aespa’s more intense and futuristic tracks, “Welcome to MY World” highlights a softer and more emotional side of the group. Its atmospheric sound and layered harmonies create a comforting feeling, making the song a heartfelt invitation to grow together in a world shaped by dreams, friendship, and imagination.
