Fan Annotations (1)
dark arts, black magicDark arts, black magic
'Dark arts, black magic' uses occult imagery as a flex — not literal sorcery but a metaphor for aespa being so overpowering it feels like an unfair, supernatural edge, set up by the taunt 'can't handle it? Can't have it.' 'Dark Arts' is aespa's first English single, released July 15, 2025 as a collaboration with the game PUBG: Battlegrounds (NME, allkpop). It served as the official anthem of the PUBG Nations Cup 2025, where the group gave the song its live debut (NME).
