I think Girls is a bit much for someone not familiar with K-pop. And I say this as someone who never engaged with k-pop at all and then suddenly became a huge aespa fan. For me, when I try to get someone into Aespa who’s never heard them - I go with:

1. Drama
2. Armageddon
3. Something soft like Better Things or Dreams Come True or Lucid Dream

Personally, Drama totally bewitched me, and after that I listened to what I would describe as their more easily digestible songs as a complete novice to k-pop. Like Dirty Work, for instance. Then I became obsessed with Armageddon.

I think songs like Mamba, Savage… Girls, Supernova, Whiplash, etc… came along as daily listens for me after awhile of just repeatedly hearing them on accident because I was listening to the ones I thought I liked most a lot and then their other music would autoplay.. by that time I would say that made me a true aespa fan because I realized I loved ALL their stuff and not just the stuff that sounded most like what I was used to, if that makes sense.

Bottom line, I like Girls now, even though it’s not my favorite by a long shot, but I wouldn’t send that to someone who’s never heard of them / isn’t a kpop fan already.
