Lirik dan Makna Lagu Better Things, Aespa Malas Jatuh Cinta, Sibuk Cari Uang

JAKARTA - Girl group aespa merilis single berbahasa Inggris kedua mereka, Better Things, setelah tahun lalu meluncurkan lagu Life's Too Short.

Better Things masih mengusung genre favorit grup SM Entertainment ini, yaitu pop dance yang energik, tapi dengan perkusi yang lebih minimalis. Selain itu, musiknya juga tak seeksperimental lagu-lagu pada awal debut aespa.

Makna lagu Better Things menggambarkan bahwa aespa lebih suka mencari dan menghasilkan uang serta melakukan konser dibanding jatuh cinta dan berpacaran. Ini bisa dilihat dari lirik bagian awal, juga bagian akhir yang dinyanyikan oleh Karina dan Giselle.



Adapun dalam video musiknya, aespa mengalami kisah fantasi saat mereka sedang bersantai di rumah. Tiba-tiba saja, AI-Ttuddae, gawai yang juga muncul dalam sitkom Better Things yang mereka bintangi, mengeluarkan semacam ikan terbang dan membawa mereka bertualang ke negeri air yang indah.

(Chorus: Karina, Ningning)
Oh, oh, oh, ada hal yang lebih baik aku lakukan dengan waktuku
Lebih baik aku lakukan dengan waktuku dibanding bersamamu
Oh, oh, ada hal yang lebih baik aku lakukan dengan waktuku
Hal yang lebih baik aku lakukan dengan waktuku
Lakukan dengan waktuku

(Verse 1: Winter, Giselle)
Aku tidak pernah yakin apakah aku mencintaimu
Tapi aku selalu yakin bahwa kamu tak pernah mengecewakanku
Aku tidak yakin apakah aku bisa memercayaimu
Tapi aku aku sangat yakin energiku terlalu berharga untuk dihabiskan begitu saja
Jadi sekarang kamu tahu, sekarang kamu ingin —

(Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Giselle)
Kamu ingin, kamu ingin mengenalku
Ingin tahu semua tentangku, ingin tahu semua tentangku
Tapi dia tidak bisa mendapatkanku karena aku meninggalkannya
Kamu tahu bahwa kamu ingin mengenalku, ingin mengenalku
Ingin tahu semua tentangku, semua tentangku
Tapi ia tidak bisa mendapatkanku karena aku pergi no-no-now
