[Verse 1: Karina and Giselle]
Over the discussion
Talking over nothing
You would ever say to my face
You think they are lies but there would be trouble
I ain't got the time to waste

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Ningning, and Karina]
You need to get away, 'cause life's too short
You must be bored out of mind
You should really take the nonsense somewhere else
'Cause you got to realize
I'm doing me regardless

[Chorus: All]
And I don't care what you say about it
And it don't matter if you like it or not
I'm having all this fun so why would I ever stop?
I'm doing mе regardless
No, I don't care what you say about it
And I will do it any way that I want
I'm having all this fun so why would I еver stop?

[Verse 2: Giselle, Karina & Winter]
Some people are so mean, all behind a phone screen
But we tryna live our lives
Oh, why you gotta be so vicious?
Just be about your business
Instead of getting up in mine

[Pre-Chorus: Ningning]
You need to get away, 'cause life's too short
You must be bored out of mind
You should really take your the nonsense somewhere else
'Cause you got to realize

[Chorus: All]
And I don't care what you say about it
And it don't matter if you like it or not
I'm having all this fun so why would I ever stop?
I'm doing me regardless
No, I don't care what you say about it
And I will do it any way that I want
I'm having all this fun so why would I ever stop?
I'm doing me regardless
I'm doing me regardless
Why would I ever stop?

[Bridge: Winter and Ningning]
Oh, no wonder baby, it's too good
So why, why you wasting your time?
Oh, baby, you should find some better seeds to sow
It might grow one day, but either way

[Chorus: All]
I'm doing me regardless
And I don't care what you say about it
And it don't matter if you like it or not
I'm having all this fun so why would I ever stop?
I'm doing me regardless
No, I don't care what you say about it
And I will do it any way that I want
I'm having all this fun so why would I ever stop?
I'm doing me regardless
'Cause life’s too short
I'm doing me regardless
Life’s too short
Why would I ever stop?
I’m doing me regardless
I’m doing me regardless

​aespa (에스파)

aespa ( 에스파) is a four-member South Korean girl group under record label SM Entertainment. The group consists Korean members Winter and Karina as well as Chinese member Ningning and Japanese member Giselle who were revealed on October 26th-29th, 2020 alongside various teaser photos following their intro video.

Known their human members and virtual counterparts, the group is the first project of SMCU (SM Culture Universe). They debuted on November 17th, 2020 with the digital single “Black Mamba.”

The group’s name is a combination of the words “avatar” and “experience” (ae) as well “aspect,” representing the duality of the group. SM founder Lee Sooman described their concept as that of independent yet corresponding human and AI-powered virtual members who can bridge their separate worlds on October 27th, 2020 at the World Cultural Industry Forum. They opened their official fanclub with the name “MY,” meaning “the most precious friend” in the language of Kwangya, the world where aespa’s “ae” avatars live.
