“My ae-reul jikil geoya” My æ를 지킬거야
"My æ를 지킬거야" = "I'll protect my æ." In aespa's worldbuilding, æ is each member's AI avatar living in the virtual realm KWANGYA, and vowing to protect that digital self is the group's core concept made explicit in a single line. "ænergy" itself is a play on æ + energy, and the song is the opening track of aespa's first EP Savage (October 5, 2021) (Wikipedia).

“Every day we get better” Every day we get better
"Every day we get better" is the song's chant-like hook, a plainspoken mantra of incremental improvement that suits aespa's relentless, never-satisfied persona. The repetition is built to be sung back live. "ænergy" is a portmanteau of æ (aespa's AI-avatar concept) and energy, and it opens their debut EP Savage (October 5, 2021) (Wikipedia).
