Wait, hold up, nо
I can't control my mind
손끝에 crushin'
고민은 juicy
다 삼켜버린 다음
Apologies in advance if I show up and I get way too loud
깨어나
Me, myself and I, that's all mine
With a blessing, 치워버려 all doubts
You probably shouldn't talk right now
Like zip, I don't care
I can take whatever, put it all over my body
그게 fashion (Woo, uh-huh)
서로 다른 세계들에 다가서면 일어나는 action

'Cause my day to day's in a different lane
At a speed that you're never catching, yeahWait, hold up, nо

At my fingertips, crush
All my worries, juicy
Swallow everything down
Apologies in advance if I show up and I get way too loud
I wake up
Me, myself and I, that's all mine
With a blessing, I clear away all doubts
You probably shouldn't talk right now
Like zip, I don't care
I can take whatever, put it all over my body
This is fashion (Woo, Uh-huh)
I dive into other worlds, the action unfolds

Wait, oh my god, stop
얽혀버린 문젠 다 mixing
Like a hurricane, 휠저어 pieces
All the lemons, 난 갈아 마셔 다
I don't care if you say I'm freaky
무표정으로 난 savour
Muchas gracias mi amor
전부 삼켜내 like a piece of cake
Make me, what you still waiting for? YaWait, oh my god, stop
All my problems tangle up, mix together
Like a hurricane, they whip everything to pieces
All the lemons, I crush them and drink it all
I don't care if you say I'm freaky
With a stone-cold face, I enjoy it
Muchas gracias mi amor
Swallow everything like a child’s play
Make me, what you still waiting for? Ya

About LEMONADE
The new single features EDM and synth-bass elements, typical of the futuristic and experimental sound fans have come to expect from aespa. The lyrics are inspired by the saying “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning sing about turning problems into opportunities, encouraging listeners not to let anything get them down.
In the music video, lemonade is served in glasses, and on the LEMONADE album's concept posters, the members hold drink cans in their hands. Fans can even get their own, since one of the physical album versions comes as a stylish drink can featuring images of Karina and the others. Instead of a drink, it holds cool extras like stickers, magnets, and photocards.
For the album, aespa collaborated with several other artists. The pre-release single “WDA,” for example, was recorded together with K-pop legend G-Dragon. On the B-side “Switchblade,” American rapper TY Dolla Sign can be heard, and there's also a second version of the title track “LEMONADE” featuring Becky G.
