My World is the third extended play by South Korean girl group Aespa. It was released by SM Entertainment on May 8, 2023, and contains six tracks, including the pre-release single "Welcome to My World" featuring Naevis, and the lead single "Spicy" which reached the top three on the Circle Digital Chart.[1] Compared to the dark, futuristic, hyperpop-influenced tones of Savage (2021) and Girls (2022), My World's brighter pop sound draws mostly from dance and R&B, with melodies characterized by "captivating beats" and "delightful" vocals of the group. The songs incorporate eclectic styles ranging from alternative pop and dream pop to synth-pop and ballad. Described by Aespa as a return to the "real world" from Kwangya, the mini album shows a new side of the group across various genres.
The EP was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. Commercially, it debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart with 1,420,178 copies sold in a week. The mini album has since been certified double million by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). Following its physical release in the United States, My World became their second album to reach the top ten of Billboard 200.
