Stray Kids are set to release a new album, “THIS & THAT,” on August 7, 2026. This album embodies their bold attitude—pursuing what they desire without being bound by conventions—naturally infused into a sound that is both intense and liberating.
The title track, ‘This & That,’ is a hip-hop-based song that maximizes the group’s signature “chill and cool” vibe. Its laid-back yet addictive melody and lyrics—which freely traverse various choices—reflect the eight members’ unwavering confidence in their ability to boldly achieve whatever they set their minds to.
Through songs that capture the many facets of life—ranging from the burning passion of racing headlong into the world to themes of love, heartbreak, and memories—Stray Kids offer empathy and strength to their listeners.
The album features a total of eight tracks showcasing diverse moods and styles: the anthem-like ‘RUN IT,’ blending majestic brass with world-beat rhythms; the progressive house track ‘After You,’ capturing the feeling of falling in love at first sight; the hip-hop track ‘FARMING,’ which wittily interprets the concept of “farming” from gaming; the rock-genre ‘I Do””,””’ standing out with its refreshing energy and catchy hook; the acoustic hip-hop track ‘Way Out,’ conveying the calm emotions of a breakup; ‘That Day,’ a band-sound track that evokes memories of late summer; and ‘This & That (Festival Version),’which reimagines the title track’s charm with a festive atmosphere.
