Whiplash is the title track from aespa's fifth mini album of the same name, released on 21 October 2024 by SM Entertainment. The South Korean girl group built the song around a techno-based dance sound, with a driving beat and a cool, restrained vocal style that stood out from brighter K-pop releases. The track quickly spread through dance challenges, short-form edits and fan videos, where its sharp rhythm made it easy to cut to. It remains popular for fashion, dance and transition content because the hook is instantly recognisable even in a short clip.
