“Day one, know I been bad” Day one, know I been bad
"Day one" is hip-hop slang for being there from the very beginning, and "been bad" flips "bad" into its slang sense of bold, confident and impressive — a flex, not a confession. The line fits the EP's theme of "moving forward without hesitation with your own standards" (Wikipedia). "Whiplash" peaked at #2 on the Circle Digital Chart and #8 on the Billboard Global 200 (Wikipedia).

“One look, give 'em whiplash” One look, give 'em whiplash
"Whiplash" is the neck injury you get from a sudden jolt, used here as a swagger image — you turn heads so fast you snap their necks. It's the title hook of aespa's fifth EP Whiplash, the lead single released October 21, 2024, written by Leslie and composed by Marcus "MarcLo" Lomax, Neil Ormandy, Lewis Jankel and Rosina "Soaky Siren" Russell (Wikipedia).
