Listen to Aespa's K-Pop Version of 'Jingle Bell Rock'

K-pop artists Aespa released the official lyric video for their rendition of Bobby Helms' classic holiday tune, "Jingle Bell Rock," which features the quartet's own take on the 1957 classic. The girl group's version of the song features a modern beat complemented by a brand-new rap verse in this hip-hop-influenced track.

"Ring ring ring, jingle bell rock / Play like a spell I won't tell, jingle bell talk / So giddy up, giddy up / Turn it up fast till we burn up / We ain't ever gonna stop, jingle bell rock," rap Giselle and Winter on the second verse of the song.

SM Entertainment first announced via a press release that the girls were reworking the iconic song in a "catchy and hip" manner, complemented by their "unique vocals and rap," which distinguishes the new version from the original "Jingle Bell Rock."

Aespa's "Jingle Bell Rock" follows only two weeks after the release of their fourth mini-album, Drama. It marks the official release of three songs from the girl group: "Hot Air Balloon," "Don't Blink" and "YOLO," which were first performed at the girl group's SYNK: Hyper Line concerts held in Seoul earlier this year. Aside from "Trick or Trick" and "You," the English-language single "Better Things" appears on the record as well.

Moreover, in other news regarding Aespa, Netflix has announced that member Karina will be starring in its upcoming original reality show Agents of Mystery alongside Korean celebrities, including Girls' Day's Lee Hye-ri as well as actors Kim Do-Hoon and Lee Yong-jin, comedian Lee Eun-ji and singer John Park.
