Stray Kids gracefully concludes 2025. Today (21st), Stray Kids released SKZ IT TAPE "DO IT" and unveiled the music video for the double title track "Do It." This marks their comeback after about three months since their 4th full album "KARMA," which made history on the US Billboard's main album chart "Billboard 200." Ahead of today's release, they shared "Stray Kids [INTRO 'DO IT']" through their official YouTube channel on the afternoon of the 19th, discussing various aspects of the new album. While the previous work "KARMA" celebrated many of their achievements, the new work "DO IT" aims to conclude the celebratory mood while maintaining their consistent effort. This album prominently features the appeal of their first double title tracks since the holiday special single "Christmas EveL" released in November 2021, showcasing the strength of Stray Kids with two coexisting charms. The double title track "Do It" is a confident song that shows what kind of team Stray Kids is. It exudes a mature and sexy atmosphere that surpasses their previous Latin genre track "Chk Chk Boom." The members introduced it by saying, "We think we are making good use of the Latin reggae tone. It has a chill vibe compared to 'Chk Chk Boom,' and the performance focuses on smooth and rhythmic movements rather than the usual powerful choreography. It's a song that makes you want to move naturally." They also mentioned that the song has a completely different atmosphere from "CEREMONY," making the recording process fun and playful. They believe they can show a freer side, and performing the choreography with a large number of dancers on an outdoor stage will make it even more special. Additionally, the other title track "DIVINE" is filled with challenges that made the members exclaim, "Are we really doing this?" The production team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, created this song with the intention of showing how they play with music. Therefore, the initial melody of the song incorporates nostalgic elements of 90s R&B while blending old-school hip-hop rhythms from the 2PAC and Snoop Dogg era with traditional Korean rhythms. As one member described, it feels like "eating medicinal sweets with warm coffee," merging modern and traditional elements, making it a new challenge for them. The song "NEW POP" has been praised as addictive, making listeners want to listen repeatedly. The third track "Holiday" was created as a song of empathy and comfort for times when one can't rest, while the fourth track "Photobook" is a fan song that expresses what they want to convey to their beloved STAY. The final track, "Do It (Festival Version)," reinterprets the title track "Do It" with a more enjoyable and powerful sound. The album consists of five tracks, all crafted by the members, resulting in a high-quality album. Stray Kids, who expressed their desire to leave a strong mark by the end of this year, vowed to keep their momentum going with this comeback. "We've been busy with the tour and couldn't show many sides of all eight of us. This album is a big gift for STAY, and we want to show a lot by the end of the year since we haven't been able to show much until now. We really want to conclude 2025, which has been a 'big hit,' properly with the spirit of 'Do It,'" they shared their love and aspirations for their fans. SKZ IT TAPE "DO IT" is available for streaming on various music distribution sites.
