Background and release

On February 16, 2023, Lee Sung-soo released a 30-minute video stating: "Lee Soo-man was the reason why Aespa's music has been delayed" and that the group was supposed to release new music on February 20. Moreover, he added that Soo-man wanted to start "injecting environmentalist motifs of tree-planting and sustainability into songs" which were eventually later scrapped as they "did not fit the world of Aespa" and made the group "upset".[1] On March 16, SM Entertainment announced that Aespa would be releasing a record in early May.[2] On April 17, it was announced that the group's third extended play titled My World, and containing six tracks, would be released on May 8.[3] On April 24, the track listing was released via their official website with "Spicy" announced as the lead single.[4][5] On May 6, the music video teaser was released.[6] The song was released alongside the EP and its music video on May 8.[7] On September 15, a remix version by Nitepunk was released.[8]

Music video

The music video directed by 725 of SL8 Visual Lab was released alongside the song by SM Entertainment on May 8.[14][7] The music video portrays Aespa "as a group of popular high school students" with scenes that switches between "Aespa getting ready to throw a wild party in their lavish mansion" and "Aespa taking the opportunity to explore the city when the clock strikes midnight when the time stops".[15]
