Despite their individual doubts about the track initially, Karina relayed that the members weren’t quite convinced about “Supernova’s” potential when first listening to it. Describing the song as having a “classic SM vibe,” she noted that it’s the kind of tune that sounds “weird” at first but grows on you over time.
Hyeri aptly concluded that “Supernova” was a track truly fitting for aespa’s unique style and modern sound — a likely factor behind its widespread appeal.
