Stray Kids – SUIATSU

The song draws its concept from deep-sea fish rising towards the surface, using the intense pressure and darkness of the ocean as comparisons for anxiety and pain. Its story carries an unsettling twist: the light that the creature desperately seeks becomes the very thing that leads it towards death. This imagery gives the track a darker perspective on the struggle to escape difficult circumstances.

Musically, the recording is built around rock instrumentation, beginning with prominent guitar and bass before expanding into a fuller arrangement. Members Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN, who form the group’s production unit 3RACHA, participated in writing and producing the track. The mini album will contain seven Japanese original recordings, including “TEMPLE”, “Lonely Night” and “LAST TAKE”, alongside alternate versions of the title track.

Stray Kids debuted under JYP Entertainment in 2018 and developed an international following through projects such as I am WHO, Clé 1: Miroh, NOEASY and 5-STAR. The eight-member group is known for its self-produced approach, with 3RACHA playing a major role in shaping its musical direction. Their Japanese releases have also performed strongly, with the previous mini album Hollow earning recognition at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.

Quotable Lyrics:

I can see a shadow 錆びついた階段

青い光が always on my mind

Time is sinking 名前忘れたまま

黒い波間に積み上がった

耳元かすめていった silence

破れる just like a prayer

Now it’s back again いつの間に

身近な海の温もりも falls into the dark
