Karinas vocal runnnn. Giselle with that edginess. Winter heavenly vocals and NingNing with her power Omg these girllsss YES!!!

Giselle's pronunciation to "Follow me, come and get Illusion" is so addictive! 😍

This deserved an MV

This song is the reason why other K-pop entertainment gives effort into B-sides track now. This is why the pre-release song is appreciated. Also, this is the reason why Aespa became a million-seller for the album "Girls" in the first week. I remember how SM surprised fans and non-fans by releasing this bop song without any hint of a comeback or trailer from aespa. Literally, comes out of nowhere and is unexpected. Moreover, this song is a bop more than their title track "Girls" No matter how awkward the lyrics are. People are still loving the music and vibe that these songs give. If only they made this song an mv, the achievement of aespa would be huge last yr. I believe they are still huge now despite the hiatus, lack of promotion as a group or individual, lack of content, and being inactive on any social media platform. CB is in May. Aespa fighting!

The way Aespa is so big that they can drop a surprise pre-released b-side with no promotion and still make so much noise shows that they've had tremendous growth since their last comeback.

Giselle's voice and her way of rapping and singing always shines in whatever song and whatever group she's gonna be on.Shes LIT

몇십년만에 ㄹㅇ 들을만한 노래 나온듯한 이 느낌 나만 그런건가 ㅋㅋ

Looks like this is going to be my top song on Spotify wrapped for the third year in a row 🫡

karina's intro, giselle's rap, winter's highnote and ningning's adlibs. everything about this song is PERFECT

karina’s vocals will always impress the heck out of me. a main dancer and a lead rapper with those vocals? HEAVEN

Aespa deserves at Coachella stage again

Illusion giving us a different vibe this time. Karina is indeed an all rounder member in aespa. She's the lead rapper yet this song, she was given a vocal position. Giselle's tone here hits different. It's so classy rap style and totally addicting! Winter with her sassy voice and her iconic lines on the intro giving the spice in the song. and Ningning our main vocalist, was given a rap lines this time and she nailed it! Ain't no way bc she totally has Ariana vibes!! This song is such a bop and the 4 members justified it well. No VOCAL HOLES in a group indeed.

Ningning and winter’s vocal adlibs in the bridge truly beautify the whole song. And so do giselle and karina’s addicting rap.

This deserves a mv CUZ I ANT GET OVER THIS “will o’ the wisp” PARTTTTT

CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR WHAAATT

I was surprised to hear that Karina is showing her beautiful vocals in this song and I love the high note she did with Winter it was beautiful, looking forward for more vocalist Karina.

Illusion and Salty & Sweet are the best b-side

This is definitely aespa's best song to date. Glad I discovered this masterpiece.

illusion is such a bop honestly, their vocals never disappoint

i love how giselle's rap has this distinct pronounciation/diction like how taeyong and mark do their rap. and also how she sings too its like she's always serving a new flavor in every song they released.

There's a reason illusion is the most streamed aespa song on Spotify

It's the fact that aespa sound is becoming distinct every comeback. They won't be leaving this path any time sooner, and I'm all for it.

Gigi and Karina doing them raps + vocals, while WinNing doing the vocals like i just knowww this comeback is gonna be a BOP

MYs str3am NEXT LEVEL MV TOO

SM is genius. Instead of releasing teaser they gave us this amazing b-side showing the album is really worth buying and hyped everyone up for quality instead of empty marketing for starved toxic stans.

I'm glad Giselle had many rap lines here and she impressively done it. Ngl I was stunned by Karina's vocals even as a lead rapper. Winter and Ningning vocals are excellent as usual.

This song will becom a hit if they choose it as a Title track not Girls

Who's excited for aespa's hyper line concert??

Giselle just donated 10M won to a non-profit organization which provides shelter to abandoned animals! Kind and generous girl

the fact that this song is already nominated at m countdown pre-vote stage, no. 9 at trending on music at YT with 3.2M views & 343K+ likes within 3 days of release WITHOUT HAVING THE ACTUAL ALBUM AND COMEBACK! aespa be really setting the standard so high! sooo excited for their 2nd mini album!

[Line Distribution] Karina - 105.37s + NingNing - 95.05s + Giselle - 91.71s + Winter - 87.91s +

Stream welcome to my world intro mys! I think we won't be having mv teaser for this.

For those who are weirded out of the lyrics, please watch the SMCU ep.1 Black Mamba first. The song is connected to their universe and it is easier to understand by watching the episode first then listen to the songs

i actually love aespa sm and they're becoming more distinct with their cyber futuristic theme now too.

ILLUSION is on another level✨️❤️‍🔥🤝💫🛐

Not choosing this as the official comeback will stay as one of kpop biggest producers' mistake...

Aespa have no bad song, impecable discography since debut, every come-back they get better and stronger

Karina surprised me with her vocals in pre-chorus like are you seeing this? a main dancer and lead rapper with powerful vocals? only in SM 🤯👏

Illusion

giselle's voice is so satisfying and so nice to hear! she is my favorite rapper of all kpop

This song hits different

D-1 First Title Supernova😍

Giselle donated 10M to help abandoned animals MYs donated 5M in acommemoration of aespa's comeback, money will be used to help abused children SO PROUD !!!

can't say anymore 😭 The vocal quality of these children is truly extraordinary. again and again shocked by Karina's vocals here. nothing wrong with aespa stand!! 💙

Song without MV but milion views. Amazing Aespa's song.

This pre released song is already so addictive can't wait for 'GIRLS' comeback I want to know what aespa got this time!!!

Aespa never disappoints from black mamba to this song. as i thought aespa is indeed an Iconic girlband.i love aespa

Electrifying yet addictive song, Congrats Aespa. Hoping for another soundtrack like this but more bop one… SM Ent. Please take care the girls well and their health condition.

Str3am NEXT LEVEL MV

Karina's vocals seriously slay!!! She already possessed the main vocalist position if she in others group

The reason i like AESPA is because they are dare to explore the genre of the song and try to experiment with it.. it's true they are leaders, not followers. Check out their b-side too!

aespa st r3 aming goals;)! black mamba - 250.4M -> 251M forever - 51.2M -> 52M next level - 270.2M -> 271M savage - 239.098M -> 240M dreams come true -> 101.6-> 102M illusion - 23.7M -> 24M life’s too short - 56.9M -> 57M girls - 130.1M -> 131M welcome to my world - 18.4M -> 19M im unhappy - 5.5M -> 5.6M salty & sweet - 3.9M -> 4M thirsty - 5.4M -> 5.5M spicy - 94.1M -> 95M let’s keep going MYs !

It's a pity, there isn't a movie for this song. How lovely. This is the second ur song I liked after Black Mamba.

omg karina vocals are insane. A MAIN VOCALIST MATERIALS THE SONG ALREADY FIRE . CANT WAIT FOR THE COMEBACK .

Karina’s and giselle’s vocal amaze me a lot. This song is so addicting, i would say RIP to the replay button

Still bside of the kpop

이노래가 뮤직비디오가 없다는게 이해안됨, 그냥 타이틀곡감인데

Rap and vocals are just so on point, but is normal when we are talking about æspa. Karina has me crazy, and my girl Giselle always slaying like the queen she is.

I'm so loving Karina's vocals. She's truly an ace and all rounder! I'm so happy Ningning got to do the high notes and adlibs. She's a main vocalist material

0:32 her voice is so high but calming. Impressive.

SM is so confident in aespa that they even pre-released a song from their next album! I hope that the girls would get promoted more this era 💜 aespa fighting!!!

aespa never disappoints taking risks and creating such a powerful catchy song is something only they can do.

Ningning's and Winter's high notes in ' Follow me come and get illusion ' still give me goosebumps.

The best song on my heart after The Black Mamba

The beat, The production, The vocals, The bridge, The high notes, The adlibs. Everything in this song is Masterpiece.

is it just me or illusion would have been better as the title track?? like, it totally fits aespa's signature discography.

aespa

Illusion >>> girls

are we hearing karina??? she is singing so beautifully i wouldn’t have thought she’s the rapper omg she’s undoubtedly an ace !!

I love how Winter, Giselle and Ningning started the rap part of the songs. Giselle was really just in her best with this hip-hop song. Her rap and singing skills 👌 0:32 And when Karina was the one who sang the melody line was a welcome surprised which was a great touch. 2:19 Also the way they made full use of Karina's alto voice.😘 It won't be aespa without the fireworks of voices in the bridge. 2:35 The way Karina carried the lower register which made the highnote sound so much richer and fuller. Winter's voice flew as Karina held down the anchor. Ningning's adlibs never fails to amaze me with her range. The flex of talent and versatility of aespa is in full display in this song. I love how aespa's musical direction and style gets established with each release. July 8 please come fast yet I also want to savor each day towards the release.

Still my fave B-Side of aespa.

Who's here??

This group are monsters how can they go from hit after hit after hit they’re the best in K-pop. Edit - Since they are now signed with Warner Music for the US release I preordered the album as soon as it was available from Warner. Fighting Aespa!

Giselle's sassy rap is just so distinctive, it always adds flavor

aespa st r3 aming goals;)! black mamba - 253.1M -> 254M forever - 51.3M -> 52M next level - 272.5M -> 273M savage - 241.2M -> 242M dreams come true -> 102.8-> 103M illusion - 24.4M -> 25M life’s too short - 57.5M -> 58M girls - 132.035M -> 133M welcome to my world - 19.1M -> 20M im unhappy - 5.8M -> 5.9M salty & sweet - 4.1M -> 4.2M thirsty - 5.8M -> 5.9M spicy - 103.7M -> 104M let’s keep going MYs ! “Better Things” 2023.08.18 1PM(KST) / 0AM(ET)

Came here because I saw WayV dancing to it on Weekly Idol and since then this song has been stuck in my head. It's pretty addictive :)

it was monochrome now they're on colours, aespa concept is truly astounding

Aespa having 1M preorder in just a week without album details? 4th gen leaders confirmed. Charting like a gg, selling like a bg. Aeskarma truly works

Winter

MYs stream drama

Honestly can't stop listening to aespa as their songs never get boring. Can't wait to get the girls album listen to more.

I just wanna say these kinda lyrics are not easy to be delivered bcs they're not relatable but look at aespa deliver and match the vibe perfectly, insane.

aespas best song i swear

Missing Aespa hours

Did Coachella open the World's eyes? Nearly a million views in under eight hours for an audio only video. Amazing!!! Can't wait to see the choreo for this. AESPA is truly Next Level.

THE VOCALS !! THE RAP !! THE WHOLE VIBE OF THE SONG !! Everything about this track is just WOW thank you aespa for the beautiful surprise of pre-realizing this track The EP is gonna be fire for sure too !!

何回聞いてもカッコイイ！！ジゼル大好き！

aespaはアニメ、ゲームの曲っぽくて聴きやすい

This song is soo catchy aespa is getting better say day by day

1st listen: head banging up and down 2nd listen: whole body jamming 3rd listen: this is 🔥🔥🔥 i totally love the beat! Giselle and Karina rap is❤️ vocals are😘 WinNing indeed!!

One of the best songs ever created you can't change my mind.

Let's keep this as our secret shh

Even though we are always complaining to SM how there are almost no activities for Aespa, a rookie group, im sure they are pouring all of their energy into every next comeback of the girls. Can't wait for another slay!

aespa really said, “never let them know your next move” bcs look at them dropping a new song and just everything on the day we least expect it.
