On the 23rd, their agency JYP Entertainment announced the upcoming release of the new album SKZHOP HIPTAPE 'HOP' and revealed unit and group concept photos. A JYP representative explained, 'Stray Kids exuded an unapproachable charisma.

The album includes the title track 'Walkin On Water,' as well as 'Bounce Back,' 'U (Feat. TABLO),' 'Walkin On Water (HIP Ver.),' and bonus tracks featuring solo stage songs performed by members during the world tour: 'Railway (Bang Chan),' 'Unfair (Felix),' 'HALLUCINATION (I.N),' 'Youth (Lee Know),' 'So Good (Hyunjin),' 'ULTRA (Changbin),' 'Hold my hand (Han),' and 'Slowly, we (Seungmin).'
