It was also announced that the album would feature two title tracks: "Supernova" and "Armageddon", with the former releasing on May 13 and the latter, along with the album, on May 27.[1] On May 10, the track listing was revealed alongside a highlight medley teaser video.[2] Two days later, the music video teaser was released.[3] "Supernova" was released along with its music video on May 13.[4]

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",[48] 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-lopping.[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.[49] 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".[50]
