aespa

‘Life’s Too Short’ is the second track of aespa’s new album ‘GIRLS’. The group used to perform this song on the Coachella stage and received a lot of love from the fans.

With the MV ‘Life’s Too Short’, the 4 SM girls brought a youthful, sweet image with their gorgeous visuals. However, aespa’s view record is more modest than that of ‘POP!’ and ‘Left & Right’. After 24 hours of release, aespa’s MV has reached 14 million views.

Life’s Too Short’s digital music achievements are not much better when the song only holds #92 on MelOn chart and #4 on Bugs chart even after 24 hours. Compared to the group’s previous songs, this is probably the worst digital achievement that aespa has ever achieved.

Compared to the two songs of Nayeon and Jungkook, the social media influence including the coverage and level of netizens’ discussion about ‘Life’s Too Short’ has also not achieved the expected success. Fans are looking forward to a further explosion of SM girls for the next product.
