Musically, Rich Man expands Aespa’s sonic palette while staying true to their futuristic edge. The title track combines a gritty electric guitar rhythm with lyrics about self-assurance and independence. “Drift” follows with a high-energy hip-hop dance sound layered over whistle-like beats, while “Bubble” leans into minimalist drum-and-bass textures with playful lyrics that challenge pretense. Here is the full tracklist:
- Rich Man
- Drift
- Bubble
- Count On Me

Rich Man comes hot on the heels on their second single album “Dirty Work,” which features four versions of the title track, including one featuring rapper Flo Milli.
