SM Entertainment officially announced on the 3rd that their girl group aespa will release a new single titled Dark Arts on the 15th, in collaboration with the globally popular game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.
This collaborative track, Dark Arts, is a piece that expresses a strong determination to become the last one standing in a survival competition, musically reinterpreting the core theme of the game. The track is characterised by an intense rhythm and dynamic guitar sounds that evoke the tension of battle scenes.
aespa has also been gaining notable traction in the music market with their single Dirty Work, released on the 27th of last month. The single entered the top ranks of major digital charts and achieved remarkable physical album sales, surpassing 910,000 copies within the first six days of release according to Hanteo Chart.
