Stray Kids Unleash 'SKZ IT TAPE' with Double Title Tracks 'DO IT' & 'S-Class'

Get ready for a K-pop powerhouse to make waves! Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) is set to drop their highly anticipated new album 'SKZ IT TAPE' along with double title tracks 'DO IT' and 'S-Class' on December 21st at 2 PM KST (12 AM EST).

This marks a swift return for the group, just about three months after their record-breaking fourth full-length album 'KARMA', which soared on the Billboard 200 chart. Their comeback promises to fill the year-end with warmth and excitement for their fandom, STAY.

Ahead of the release, Stray Kids unveiled an intro video hinting at the album's concept. While 'KARMA' celebrated their achievements, 'DO IT' embodies a more laid-back hustle spirit, a continuation of their journey, simply saying, "Let's just do it, like we always have."

The album features a double title track lineup for the first time since their holiday special single 'Christmas EveL' in 2021. 'DO IT' is described as a track bursting with confidence, showcasing Stray Kids' identity. Born from a prolific songwriting camp, it offers a mature and sexy vibe, distinct from the Latin-inspired 'Chk Chk Boom'. Members noted its smooth, rhythmic choreography, perfect for inducing "inner dancing."

The other title track, 'S-Class' (신선놀음), is an adventurous exploration for the group. Produced by 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han), its concept is "showing how we play with music." The song blends jazzy melodies reminiscent of 90s R&B with old-school hip-hop influences from artists like 2PAC and Snoop Dogg, all infused with Korean traditional elements.

"It feels like enjoying yakgwa with warm coffee," members explained, describing it as a "NEW POP" fusion of modern and traditional sounds, pushing creative boundaries. They expressed excitement for potential year-end stages with this track.

The album also includes 'Holiday', a song created for moments of needed rest, and 'Photobook', a heartfelt fan song dedicated to STAY. A 'Festival Version' of 'DO IT' rounds out the 5-track offering, which the members are proud of.

Stray Kids aim to leave their mark this year-end, stating, "We want to engrave our name properly this year-end." They added, "This album is a big gift to STAY. Since we couldn't show you much while touring, we want to show you a lot until the end of the year. We want to finish this amazing 2025 well. We'll do our best with the 'DO IT' spirit."

Prepare for 'SKZ IT TAPE', another masterpiece crafted by Stray Kids, as they continue their ascent with the 'Just do it' mentality.

Fans are buzzing with anticipation, commenting, "Finally, a comeback!", "They're going to break records again", and "Stray Kids is always a reliable listen."
