[IrieStay]

Stray kids write and produce 99.5% of their music. You can the album intros for their last 2 albums; 5 STAR and Rock Star to see their thought process going into each song on the albums and snippets of the recording sessions directed by 3RACHA (the main production team in the group). As for more personal songs or ballads there are quite a few in their discography for example 'Sorry I Love You', Secret Secret, Winter Falls, Cover Me, Levanter.

How this guy went 4 videos without noticing it Felix’s voice is kinda incredible

[StaySiren]

As for deep songs: Hellevator, Mirror, Voices, Grow Up, Insomnia, I am You, Levanter, Lonely Street, Leave, Cover Me, Phobia, Ex, Scars, Slump, etc etc etc. there’s a lot

Solos/duets/units:

Bangchan: I hate to admit
Lee Know: Limbo
Changbin: Streetlight
Hyunjin: Lost Star, contradicting
Han: alien, volcano, miserable, happy, I got it
Felix: Deep end
Seungmin: Hold On, Stars and Raindrops
I.N: Hug me, Maknae on Top

Han + Lee Know: want so bad
Bangchan + I.N: Black Hole
Hyunjin+ I.N: untitled
Changbin + Felix: Because
Changbin + Seungmin: Piece of a Puzzle

There are lots of unit songs, but other standouts are Waiting for Us, Muddy Water, Red Lights, Surfin’, Gone Away, Snain, 3racha, Taste, Can’t Stop.


Yeah… they have a 190+ song discography, and they write pretty much everything. Produce most of it, l and arrange some of it.


I would pick an album and do a whole listen. Rock-star was their last one.

I am 71 and listen to a lot of kpop. BTS and Stray Kidz are both sing in Korean and English but thats about it as far as the similarity goes. I dont compare them because their style is different but both great groups.

SKZ are the founders of the third type of K-Pop called Mala-Tang (Mala-Taste) after the release of the hit "God's menu". Before SKZ, there were two main directions in K-Pop: Sweet and Salty. "Mala" means something like "pleasant spice", "Tang" literally means "soup".

Add this to that compilation of “what city is this?” “THIS IS SEOUL”

Stray Kids write and produce 99% of their music. Three of their members Changbin (0:52), Bang Chan (1:09), and Han (2:04) are their producing unit 3RACHA which was the name of their hip-hop group before they debuted in Stray Kids. Bang Chan is the 3 most credited K-pop artist of all time with over 180 song credits with all the songs being released in the last 5/6 years. The two above him are Ravi from Vixx at #1 and RM at #2 making him the youngest of the top 3 as he is only 26 (a little over a month younger than the youngest BTS member Jungkook). They are the top 3 most credited 4th gen K-pop artists (BTS is 3rd Gen). Bang Chan also is the person that arranges almost all of their music. Also one of their members Lee Know (1:46) was actually a back up dancer for BTS while they were on tour before debuting as a member of Stray Kids. Unlike other groups that have fixed position as rappers, vocalists, and dancers all 8 of them can do all positions well but tend to be known for one aspect more than the others. 3Racha is the producing/rap unit, DanceRacha is the dance unit and includes Lee Know, Hyunjin (1:34), and Felix (The deep voice guy), and VocalRacha which are the two youngest members Seungmin (1:18) and I.N/ Jeongin (1:38). As for more depth you'll have to look more at their B-side tracks rather than their Title tracks though some title tracks with some amazing depth are Hellevator, I am You, and Levanter. Some amazing B-sides are Grow Up, Ex, Silent Cry, Sorry I Love You, Lonely St., Collision, Cover Me and Leave. They also have some incredible Japanese releases like Scars, DLMLU, Slump, and Social Path. I also recommend checking out Neverending Story which is a song they made for a K-drama soundtrack. But you can also find solo stuff and unit songs that have incredible depth from their SKZ-Replay which is made up of 8 solo songs and several of their solo/unit songs from SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player. Not all of SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player songs were released on SKZ-Replay and they are constantly creating more for both of those. Some of my favorites are Volcano by Han, Streetlight by Changbin, Hate to Admit by Bang Chan, Contradicting by Hyunjin, Deep End by Felix, Stars and Raindrops by Seungmin, Alien by Han, Because by Changbin and Felix, Piece by Changbin and Seungmin, and Close by Han.

Thank you to Army who suggested Stray Kids! However, in *no* way are these boys similar to BTS. The more you listen and follow them, you'll realize how unique they truly are. There is a song for every person, because they experiment with so many different styles and genres. They refuse to change, even though they get a lot of opposition in that regard. They remain humble and consistent; I can truly say they have an almost no-skip discography.

[HauntinglyAsh]

I am a HUGE bts fan and only very recently looked into stray kids and now I’m OBSESSED. Stray Kids is truly the first group I’ve listened to that I agree when ppl say they aren’t “kpop”. Straykids is practically their own genre..I listen to all kinds of music and I’ve just never heard anything like them. They really are “special” 😂
And I honestly think Bangchan has a HUGE role into why they are so unique. The music they make and produce is just on another level.

[einSky]

Aa a reviewer, Lyricist, music producer, or whatever, to check "depth" in Stray Kids is a whole thing. The deal is to know what they're saying in an intricate korean language Level. Saying "depth" as in more introspective songs like ballads / chill songs, they have some. But their core is a hip rop prodution unit, so you'll see the kind of depth these guys can bring in their lyrics... it's a whole other level, really. They have a lot of puzzly jokes, puns, wordplay in general, they're really creative and genius in a way. I'm always surprised by them since I've started listening to kpop. Stray Kids brought me the pure musical genius juice in all areas: hype, balad, visual, dance, lyrics.
Artistically they're all aces.

Behind every stray kids masterpiece is their producing group 3 Racha witch consists of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han
Fun fact they have received best creator award at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards!!! So proud of them

[veronicagrey_xo]

I am so glad that other people have brought this up. As a Stay I am grateful for the Army’s here who are being so kind! One thing that was uncomfortable was the comparing of two very incredible groups. BTS in wonderful and they deserve the praise. So does Stray Kids. Asking which is better than the other creates unnecessary arguments between fandoms and takes away from what we’re here for. The music and the idols whom create it.

There’s no comparing because they are both unique and the best in their craft.

[KathyD]

I am 66 years old. I mostly listen to K-Pop. I don't really compare BTS to Stray Kids and say one is better than the other. They both have their own styles and they both excel at those styles. I watch many other groups and appreciate their own uniqueness as well. I have been listening to Stray Kids Lalalala a lot (that was almost a tongue twister!)

[vaishalinakti]

When he said "What is going on?!!"

I was like " wait buddy its just the start, there's a lot to come"❤❤

[Cornealia]

Maniac is actually a pretty deep song. It’s a whole thing about showing who you are not masking.
God’s menu is how their discography has something for everyone.

Most of stray kids songs have a double meaning if you pay attention to the lyrics. A lot of meaning is glossed over by hype but it’s still there.

[NinaRas]

If you keep reacting to Stray Kids you will come to realize they are their own genre.

[rebecaprs]

Finally a reaction to Stray Kids! Loved it. They are a self produced group, 3 of them are the producing team and they are called 3RACHA (some of the most credited artists in the kpop industry), but nowadays all of the members take parts on producing and writing. Bang Chan is the leader (short red hair on Back Door), he chose the members by himself and is the one who creates their beats and most of their arrengments, he's a genius. There are a lot of behind the scenes footages of them recording, I'd recommend the ones titled 'Stray Kids [INTRO "★★★★★ (5-STAR)"] Part 3 : Recording' and '3RACHA being the geniuses behind Stray Kids'. Some less edgy songs of theirs I'd recommend are: Chill, Cover Me and Social Path (the last one is a japanese track with LiSA composed by Bang Chan and where he tells the story of his life until Stray Kids). Hope to see more!

the pronunciation for Miroh is killing me😭💀

16:13 how to start a war in 3 seconds 😂😂😂

[AkshadaJoshi-wf]

the "nutty" music producer is their own members, which just makes it all better
