aespa teased they would perform a new song at Coachella 2022
After a handful of cryptic posts on social media, aespa’s performance at this year’s Coachella was confirmed. Leading up to their performance, KARINA, WINTER, GISELLE, and NINGNING were interviewed by Billboard.
“Truthfully, we don’t have much experience performing live in front of an audience since we debuted during the pandemic, so the thought of performing in front of a large audience at Coachella, which is the dream stage for many artists, made me feel very nervous,” KARINA said in the Billboard interview.
In the interview with Billboard, the members of aespa also teased fans would hear a new song at Coachella.
KARINA told Billboard, “… We worked hard to prepare a special performance for Coachella, including a never-seen-before performance of our unreleased track, so we hope everyone enjoys it and have a lot of fun with us!”
“Yes! We are preparing a special performance of an unreleased track from our soon-to-be released album and it’s called ‘Life’s Too Short.’ We’re singing the English version of the song so please stay tuned, hope you’re excited!” WINTER shared in the interview.
