Song Of The Week: Dirty Work - Aespa

Alright, aespa is back and once again, they did not come to play. Their latest single “Dirty Work” has finally dropped after what felt like a never-ending tease (SM, you know exactly what you're doing), and my first reaction?

It’s giving “Armageddon.”

And I mean that in the best possible way.

From the first listen, Dirty Work hits that high-energy, beat-heavy aespa signature, you know the sound: a little dystopian, a little dangerous, very "we came to slay your algorithm and your life.” It’s sharp, polished, and packed with attitude.

And of course, the visuals? Always 10/10. That’s one thing aespa never misses on. The styling, the camera work, the face card that never declines. But I gotta say it… the concept is starting to feel a little repetitive. I love Dirty Work, don’t get me wrong, but this MV lowkey feels like a continuation of Armageddon and Whiplash. Same gritty textures, same girlboss-in-the-void energy.

Maybe it’s time for aespa to switch it up a bit, just to keep things feeling fresh. I mean, how many more times can we fight digital demons in high fashion before it starts to blend together?

BUT, I’m still here, streaming. Because let’s be honest I love seeing bad bitches roll in mud and serve face. It’s aespa doing what they do best: owning the screen, commanding the stage, and giving us that perfect blend of cyberpunk chic and chaotic diva energy.

So yes, Dirty Work might not be a revolutionary pivot, but it still slaps and I’m playing it on loop like the loyal MY I am.

What did you all think? Are you here for another round of digital destruction, or are you craving a concept switch too?
