Their agency, JYP Entertainment, released a tracklist and online cover image that evokes traditional sentiment on their official SNS at 11 PM on the 18th, raising global fan interest. According to the tracklist, SKZHOP HIPTAPE '合（HOP）' will include a total of 12 songs, including the title track 'Walkin On Water', 'Bounce Back', 'U (Feat. TABLO)', 'Walkin On Water (HIP Ver.)', 'Railway (Bang Chan)', 'Unfair (Felix)', 'HALLUCINATION (I.N)', 'Youth (Lee Know)', 'So Good (Hyunjin)', 'ULTRA (Changbin)', 'Hold my hand (Han)', and 'So, slowly, we (Seungmin)'. The production team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, leads the album, with all members credited, ensuring Stray Kids' unique style is well represented. Notably, track 3 'U (Feat. TABLO)' features TABLO from EPIK HIGH, expected to create special synergy. Additionally, during their ongoing world tour 'dominATE', the 8 members will officially release 8 solo songs, gathering high expectations from STAY (the fan name). SKZHOP HIPTAPE combines the initials 'SKZ' of Stray Kids with 'hip-hop', creating a name for a new genre that is not officially defined, featuring songs unique to Stray Kids. The first work '合（HOP）' combines '合', completed by the 8 members, and 'HOP', from the English name of the hip-hop genre, carrying a double meaning. Stray Kids will release SKZHOP HIPTAPE '合（HOP）' on December 13 at 2 PM (midnight EST).
