TASTE is my favorite song! Sadly, no MV, but there is a fancam live stage of their full dance performance of it (if someone knows the one, link it, I am tech impaired!).
Bro... they were the number 2 best selling artist in the U.S. last year (and 2023) right behind Taylor Swift. That's pretty damn big lol. Red Lights in Korean is called Compulsion. It's about their toxic relationship with work and how it can take over their lives. The red light of the recording studio. Bang Chan singing to set the mic up. This song was actually my intro to Stray Kids. Still my favorite SKZ song. It was my number 1 song I listened to on TH-cam last year with 1,535 minutes, lol. Absolutely love the cinematography on this mv. The wardrobe, the vocals, the choreo, the music... everything. Masterpiece. Hyunjin and Chan co-wrote this one. The lyrics were actually spicier but Chan toned them down, lol. Hyunjin, Chan and their buddy VERSACHOI co produced it. The music video is directed by NOVV KIM who also did Railway. Taste has a similar feel to it... lyric video Drive is a completely different vibe music wise but the lyrics are full of innuendos lol.. that one has a music video
I don't think you guys know how big they actually are. They are the leading K-pop band of the 4th generation. Topping the Billboard charts globally. Please look into them a little more. They rarely make sensual music. They only have a few songs like this: Taste, Drive, Wow, Railway, and Hallucination. These songs are rare in their catalog. **Bang Chan's first language is English. He is from Australia. Please watch the guide. ANY GIUDE. Don't worry. It's in English. 😊👍🏾
According to Chan, the song is about their obsessions with their craft; Bang Chan with making music (the red lights in the recording studio) and Hyunjin with his dancing. Of course, they had to add a sexually suggestive aspect to the video.
Lol I know! I also don't think that they pick up on how much English is actually in most of their songs. But yeah does not need to be English at all...although I do like when I know I'm not saying something completely stupid or possibly rude when I'm for sure sing along to the Korean bits wrong 😂...or even the Japanese when they do those too. Skz just keep doing skz...we don't love u just cause of the English that's for sure!! I always feel bad for Skz or anyone when English speakers get way too selfish with always wanting it in English...why?? I get wanting to understand it...that's what translations or lyric vids are for 🤷♀️🤷♀️
8:28 I'm probably not going to explain this well enough because i have a migraine, but i heard the song before seeing the video, so I really did get the whole obsession thing. The song is really about their unhealthy obsessions (making music for Chan and dancing for Hyunjin), and i think just being idols in general. If you listen to the lyrics (set the mic up, etc), you can understand it better. All they see is red lights because they're always being recorded.
You like this video because it combines English and Korean??? Have you not been paying attention? They go that on EVERY video. You want similar songs, TASTE AND WOW
The video is self explanatory. Visually it's what you think lol. They wanted to make a sexy vid. The song is about being obsessed with their work. They love it but feel trapped. Hyunjin with dance hence the red ties, and BangChan with making music hence the lyric red light - of a recording studio- and setting the mic up. They've talked alot about the meaning and what they wanted to portray.
I don’t really mind the language as long as they’re comfortable singing/rapping in it. That’s why I don’t mind Chan and Felix releasing full English songs but I sure would do a double take if Minho or Binnie did it. Twice did a good job on their English releases but the last couple BTS songs had me shaking my head. JKs English solos are fine though. It’s exactly what he has been talking about liking since he was 16 💜 And Namjoon has been comfortable with English for years now and it shows 😏
Ahhhh don't think its popular cuz its got some english lines in it 😂😏.. considering they have quite a few English only songs. Sometime the song doesn't hit the same in English, like Domino so much better in Korean. 😁
You know I was fast scrolling to the bottom and my finger slipped the thumbs up so i stopped to read it and realized I 100% agreed with you. I'm glad my finger slipped
Red Lights is referring to the red light of the recording booth… & they are chained to the music. It has them by the throat and they stay up all night bc they just can’t stop recording music bc it’s compulsive/ their addiction but they LOVE it. You notice at the table Bang has a lyric “set the mic up”.
Stray Kids has had 6 albums debut at #1 on the Billboard top 200. They have are currently on a world tour that sold out in hours. They don’t need to change what language they sing in. They are doing amazing. They have members that speak multiple languages so they sing in multiple languages but at the end of the day they are a kpop group. They don’t need less Korean in their songs to appeal to the masses. We are already here.
‘Red Lights’ was part of a project where all the members were split into groups to write a song and make a music video. Bang Chan and Hyunjin wrote the song ‘Red Lights’, Han, Seungmin and I.N released ‘Gone Away’, and Lee Noh, Changbin and Felix released ‘Surfin’. The sexy concept of the ‘Red Lights’ video was suggested by the director. In fact, Bang Chan and Hyunjin wrote about their obsession with work, their favourite activity, music or dance, whatever. The red lights are the lights of the studio where the guys recorded their songs. Although the guys often have songs that carry a double meaning. Chan himself said to STAY to interpret the meaning of their songs themselves.
Fun Fact: The genius director NOVVKIM is also the same one that directed the newest Chan's MVs 'RAILWAY'. He also directed SURFIN' and GONE AWAY - You can see how these songs were created on their series Song Camp - Howl in Harmony. [PS: He also directed EASY and YOUR EYES 😊 WOW] All different and awesome... 🖖🏼😁
I love yall energy. Y’all crack me up. Keep doing what you doing. Chan and Hyunjin performed this live at an award show. And all the members performed this song together at one of their concerts. This song is amazing.
If you like this song you will also like their song "Taste" by Hyunjin, Felix, and Lee Know (Danceracha). There isn't a video but it is also written by Hyunjin and is legendary. One of their best songs IMO.
Why are they telling yall they are kissing? 😭 they do not kiss lol. This song is more about obsession. Bang Chan is an awesome vocalist but don’t underestimate Hyunjin. You may not hear Hyunjin’s vocals a whole lot but he is good and can get high as well so I want him to also get some credit. Bang Chan and Hyunjin both wrote this song. Also, they always mix Korean with English. I don’t think they will need to yo fully English to become bigger. I’m glad yall reacted to it. I’m excited to see more ❤🎉
Hyunjin does sing a lot. When the camera goes on him that's when it's his voice & vice versa. He just sings a little harder. Hyunjin can sing in more than one key.
amazing reaction guys!! the song officially is about how obsessive both of them can get about work. they are both known for giving up sleep for work. they then just made it a song about unhealthy obsessions and made it sexy--- hard sexy to be exact lmao
Guys... BangChan and Felix are Australian, English is their FIRST language... and yes I know Bangchan was born in Korea but he was raised in Australia....
8:28 Apart from the obvious reference, Red Lights can be interpreted as a song about anxiety. The title itself makes it clear that something is going wrong, so the lyrics- "the moment when I close my eyes, all I see is red lights" could suggest a warning sign. That's why it could be a reference to anxiety. The chains can also be understood as a metaphor for a toxic relationship with a person, in the sense that you are literally "chained" to one another and choking each other which is why they "can't breathe". The third way of interpreting this song is if we combine both ideas. The spectrum of experiences which are termed as "anxiety" that can range from feeling an adrenaline rush to stage fright to an actual feeling of paranoia. So in a way, we are in a toxic relationship with the emotion of anxiety itself. We cope with anxiety because we know that we can perform better when we are under pressure, but we also know our emotions of fear can go into overdrive to the point where you see warning signs everywhere or you feel paranoid. The lines "I'm going crazy now, out of control, I'm staying up all night" and "you know I can't leave you alone" indicate this significance that the emotion anxiety has in our lives. That's why the song can also be understood as a toxic relationship with anxiety.
read the lyrics lol bang chan claims the song is about something else, but the reason Stay are all crazy for this song is because of how provocative the lyrics and visuals are. chains and ropes, red lighting, noir scenes, rolling around on a bed, hand around the neck... "out of control" "i can't leave you alone" "up all night" "make you feel my love under the cover of darkness"
.Lyrics by Hyunjin and music by Bang Chan. The meaning has nothing to do with the images hahaha. In other words, it has more to do with their obsession with their work, that's why the networks... something similar happens with Railway... but... they leave everything to the imagination. There is an episode on the SKZ channel where the two of them talk about how they made Red Lights and there is an OT8 version where everyone sings it. Taste was written by Hyunjin as well and he does it with Felix and Lee.Know. Another song written by Jinnie is Cover me... it doesn't have a video but the voices are wonderful  Comentarios
This isn’t their most popular song, or video. It probably is the most popular non-title unit track. But God’s menu is still that queen as their most popular. English being in songs might help a little, but I don’t listen to kpop with a desire for more English. I mean… nmixx sprinkles in Spanish and English into their Korean.
They are the leading kpop boy group of 4th generation they have been universal for a while now lol the sprinkle of English words isn't the reason its the natural born talent of the boys that got them the recognition they have I think a guide would really help you understand more .
When I say I came RUNNING to this reaction! 👏🏻👏🏻 You’ll see other comments about how the song is about battling obsession so I won’t recap that but if you watch you’ll notice they are mirroring each other. In essence, they are the two sides of the coin (so to speak) - the light and dark of battling the obsession. A true video masterpiece! ❤️🔥 Now I think you’re ready for Drive (Bang Chan & Lee Know) and Taste (Danceracha). 😊👏🏻
Fellas... I will be glad when you all get past this English business. Seriously... Their singing in Korean is so sexy. English is so blah... 😂 So last century. It takes time to tune your hearing to a new language but I think you are getting there....when you were watching Kingdom it wasn't bothering you. And it will matter less once you start hearing the words more frequently. It is a very rhythmic language. And like everyone has said, Stray Kids is #2 in America singing in Korean. So we love them as is!
kpop is an industry not an genre, so it's pretty normal at least for me to like songs because there's variety. It's like hearing latin songs by english singers or bossa nova songs in korean. It's the same thing the only thing that changes it's language...
Yeaa this song and video is everything🔥but guyz..I know its fun to hear your own language but subtitles exists for a reason, and them singing in Korean is pretty much the whole thing about k-pop and appreciating what they produce🤷🏻♀️I kind of hope these groups stick to that in the future and don’t get to influenced
There's English in almost ALL their songs, but honestly, ya'll don't shut up long enough to realize that lol. I can't with the adhd, but you keep doing you boo
I wouldn't say its just because of the English- a lot of their songs have English in it- and they have some songs fully in English. Its the sexiness and at the time, was one of their most wild songs and videos.
Your reactions are fantastic! And as others have said the concept is the red light from the recording booth and their obsession about singing and dancing. ❤❤
Finally...red lights❤️🔥 are you okay guys?😂😂😂 I love your reaction..I love bangchan..I love hyunjin..I love u guys...❤ Bangchan n hyunjin are hot duo🔥🔥🔥 They both have the same taste in music...and they make a lot of songs together..
Chan has always been insane fr. He definitely bleeds music and I cannot do anything but marvel at his genius everytime. I love when reactors also peep him for the genius ace musician that he is 🥹
There's English in nearly every song! They nearly all speak English perfectly. Bang Chan and Felix are Australian so English is their first language. Han went to school in Singapore where they speak English, and Hyunjin grew up in America.. stop being surprised! 😂😂😂
The song is about insomnia that correlates with their work in writing composing and choreography. The chains are linked to those studios. The choking is them choking themselves not each other. The red lights are at the studio. Make you feel my love line is to STAY (fans). Also....Bangchan laid out the instrumentals while Hyunjin wrote the words. 😊 and White beenie twin, your fav is Felix. Oh and look up their live performance on this song with all members singing it. It's amazing.
All of their music is mixed with English and Korean except the ones that are all English and real stays know this and do not care about whether or not they do more English ones 🫤
Ik this is a reaction video and what I’m about to say is off topic but u guys really have made my week better. I’ve been dealing with a lot of family issues, my grandpa being in the hospital and almost going homeless u guys really made me feel happy; even if it’s just for a day it makes it a little better. Just thank you bc I haven’t felt that happy unless I watch videos to help me escape what’s going on. Again, thank you so much for making me and probably many others happy.
Bangchan is an extremely talented lyricist & musician that people sometimes forget. Hyunjin is also those things, too & not just a pretty face. Both men are extremely talented, as are all of Skz.
The song is supposed to be about their obsession with their work.When Hyunjin rewatched it he enjoyed it while when Bang Chan rewatched it he cringed 😂
Stray Kids have been doing chunks of english lyrics since the start honestly its not super new, just some songs have more than others. Pretty much every song you've listened to has some english incorporated
Yea the lyrics are legitimately about fighting your obsessions. And yes the video - they wanted it to be sexy. In general they wanted the whole package to be left up to each viewer’s own interpretation. But the coolest thing I heard Chan say was visually, they were supposed to be the opposite sides of the same person. And they brilliantly pulled that off!
The realness of y'all singing and trying the notes is SO what we do when we listen to it. Anyone who says they ain't doing the EXACT same thing is a liar. Our cars as we drive, our bathrooms when we get ready and our kitchens as we cook... they know the truth!
All their songs have English,even French and Spanish now sprinkled into their albums now. Full English songs as well that usually throw me off ha ha like wait a minute😂
Check out the stage performance with the whole group. And Taste is another mv that's fire with Felix Leeknow and Hyunjin. Listen to Bang Chan I hate to admit
No sane Kpop fan wants them to make a lot of songs in English. It's Kpop. The predominant language of the songs has to be Korean. It's an opinion that many agree with.
One of my favorite Stray kids songs! Also with a similar vibe, their song Taste. Performed by Felix, Hyunjin and Lee Know. There is no video clip for her, but there is their performance on some show. Take a look, I want to see your reaction to it.
2:26 stray kids already have plenty of fully-english songs (and english versions of songs) and embed a lot of english into their songs anyways😅 they’re also already pretty big globally despite having korean lyrics. i get that yall wanna be able to understand what they’re saying but implying that going full english is the only way for them to achieve success is kinda annoying 😭 they’re a kpop group - let them speak korean. also red lights is definitely NOT stray kids’ biggest song idk where yall got that from tbh 😭 yes it’s one of their more known bsides but that has nothing to do with them speaking more english it’s mainly because of the music video and sexy concept😅
Only just discovered your channel, LOVE the energy! Hope to see lots more of SKZ reactions! There's actually a video of Bang Chan reacting to the Red Lights MV, he gets so flustered. 🤣 I'm sure many others commented this already, but its actually about their work obsession and not at all about what the video might imply without the context. lol They have a few purely english songs too!
Most of theirs songs have both Korean and English, or Japanese and English. The song is originally called Compulsion in Korean and is about their obsession with work, but as always they want us to put our own interpretation on it. You should check out "Howl in harmony" is the episodes that show how the 3 groups, Bang Chan/Hyunjin, Lee Know/Felix/Chanbin and Han/Seungmin/I.N came up with the concepts for their songs.
I see this request in the comments but when you can Hyunjin has awesome dance covers to 3 songs: Play with Fire (his own choreo) When The Party’s Over (Billie Eilish) (his own choreo) He was Artist of the Month Cover to Motley Crew Post Malone (not his choreo I don’t think)
I don't think i've ever seen two people more excited by the english language in my entire life. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 hearing English after only listening to kpop for a month is crazy
@@TheKTwins5668 Stray Kids has a lot of English songs!! 2 of them are Australians!! 😂
In the same vibe there is "TASTE" by DANCERACHA (Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix) YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO IT TOO!!!
Taste is just perfection!!
Make sure TASTE is the MBC Music version
The performance would be great for a reaction
Taste is really one of their best songs- moody rnb
TASTE is my favorite song! Sadly, no MV, but there is a fancam live stage of their full dance performance of it (if someone knows the one, link it, I am tech impaired!).
4:18 because Chan’s cake is LEGENDARY 😏
yep that's why we call him Bachchan or Liptopher🤭🤭🤭
Hyujing artist of the month(motley crew), you need to see that.
Thisssss!!!
yes!!!plsssss this!!!!! Hyunjin Motley Crew and Play with fire plz!
Absolutely!! 💯%
Literally ASAP
Omgg yesss
Bro... they were the number 2 best selling artist in the U.S. last year (and 2023) right behind Taylor Swift. That's pretty damn big lol.
Red Lights in Korean is called Compulsion. It's about their toxic relationship with work and how it can take over their lives. The red light of the recording studio. Bang Chan singing to set the mic up. This song was actually my intro to Stray Kids. Still my favorite SKZ song. It was my number 1 song I listened to on TH-cam last year with 1,535 minutes, lol.

Taste has a similar feel to it... lyric video
Drive is a completely different vibe music wise but the lyrics are full of innuendos lol.. that one has a music video
they are the number 2 best selling artists in 2024 TOO for the second consecutive year, still just under Taylor Swift
@@cl3263 I said that. I said last year and 2023.
@ oh srry 🫠
I don't think you guys know how big they actually are. They are the leading K-pop band of the 4th generation. Topping the Billboard charts globally. Please look into them a little more. They rarely make sensual music. They only have a few songs like this: Taste, Drive, Wow, Railway, and Hallucination. These songs are rare in their catalog. **Bang Chan's first language is English. He is from Australia. Please watch the guide. ANY GIUDE. Don't worry. It's in English. 😊👍🏾
As a Greek stay, I can confirm. They're HUGE over here. 🇬🇷❤️😁
don't forget felix is also fluent in english and also born in australia
There's also a good amount of English in every video they've watched! Lol.
According to Chan, the song is about their obsessions with their craft; Bang Chan with making music (the red lights in the recording studio) and Hyunjin with his dancing. Of course, they had to add a sexually suggestive aspect to the video.
Who's gunna tell them that we like their Korean music.....
Literally like if i wanted to listen to western styled music i would 😂😂
Lol I know! I also don't think that they pick up on how much English is actually in most of their songs. But yeah does not need to be English at all...although I do like when I know I'm not saying something completely stupid or possibly rude when I'm for sure sing along to the Korean bits wrong 😂...or even the Japanese when they do those too.

It's okay they're still new one day they'll be indoctrinated I mean.....full fledged stays 😂😂😂
hyunjin was insane when he made this song, he wrote it and said he softened the lyrics
He writes such amazing songs!!!
Hyunjin's other composition ,Taste is also insane!!
8:28 I'm probably not going to explain this well enough because i have a migraine, but i heard the song before seeing the video, so I really did get the whole obsession thing.

You like this video because it combines English and Korean??? Have you not been paying attention? They go that on EVERY video. You want similar songs, TASTE AND WOW
Im saying 😂😂
istg sometimes just wanting english an making everything about their language is an Americans thing, like bilinguals exist it's not that deep...
The video is self explanatory. Visually it's what you think lol. They wanted to make a sexy vid. The song is about being obsessed with their work. They love it but feel trapped. Hyunjin with dance hence the red ties, and BangChan with making music hence the lyric red light - of a recording studio- and setting the mic up. They've talked alot about the meaning and what they wanted to portray.
Outside of the main composing team 3Racha, Hyunjin actually writes and composes the most next to the 3. Give his Taste, Cover Me and DLMLU a listen.
To be honest i prefer it when they sing more korean than english. Because it’s kpop 😅
FACTS
Same.... Hyunjin part in the 3rd verse of red-light in Korean.... man just makes my knees weak. Its sounds so beautiful.
I don’t really mind the language as long as they’re comfortable singing/rapping in it. That’s why I don’t mind Chan and Felix releasing full English songs but I sure would do a double take if Minho or Binnie did it.

@ Este video no era sobre Stray Kids? O me perdí?
@@corinarojas5092 wdym? this was about skz, literally reacting to red lights (a skz song) it might just be the translation?
Ahhhh don't think its popular cuz its got some english lines in it 😂😏.. considering they have quite a few English only songs. Sometime the song doesn't hit the same in English, like Domino so much better in Korean. 😁
You know I was fast scrolling to the bottom and my finger slipped the thumbs up so i stopped to read it and realized I 100% agreed with you. I'm glad my finger slipped
I feel the same about some japanese vr of their songs. Some sound better in jap, like superbowl. Idrl the korean version 😅
Red Lights is referring to the red light of the recording booth…
& they are chained to the music.
It has them by the throat and they stay up all night bc they just can’t stop recording music bc it’s compulsive/ their addiction but they LOVE it. You notice at the table Bang has a lyric “set the mic up”.

Preach 📢
THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I FINALLY SAW THIS😭😭🙏
Me too! Came running! 😂👏🏻
The video is over when you see the 'stray kids everywhere all around the world. You make stray kids stay.'
Hyunjin is such a all around Beautiful artist he did an amazing job writing this song! Please react to "Cover Me" he wrote it as well
The left one who's a sucker for ballads will legit cry with Cover Me😂
‘Red Lights’ was part of a project where all the members were split into groups to write a song and make a music video. Bang Chan and Hyunjin wrote the song ‘Red Lights’, Han, Seungmin and I.N released ‘Gone Away’, and Lee Noh, Changbin and Felix released ‘Surfin’.

It’s about the obsession and need for things that are toxic. Always have a deeper meaning in all their songs
I love yall energy. Y’all crack me up. Keep doing what you doing. Chan and Hyunjin performed this live at an award show. And all the members performed this song together at one of their concerts. This song is amazing.
Clicked so fast 😂😂

amazing reaction guys!! the song officially is about how obsessive both of them can get about work. they are both known for giving up sleep for work. they then just made it a song about unhealthy obsessions and made it sexy--- hard sexy to be exact lmao
The contrast in Bang Chan and Hyunjin's reaction to Red Lights is hilarious though 🤣
Hyunjin: wooooww~~ so sexy ❤
BC: * dies of embarrassment * 🙈
“TASTE” (hyunjin, felix, lee know) like Red Lights is another song written by HYUNJIN and the vibe is there, trust me yall will like it

IM SORRY 😭😭😭😭 THAT GUITAR WAS HARD THOUGH!
Us Hyunjin stans love this video 🥵
I think our Changbin stan will like Domino
read the lyrics lol
bang chan claims the song is about something else, but the reason Stay are all crazy for this song is because of how provocative the lyrics and visuals are.
chains and ropes, red lighting, noir scenes, rolling around on a bed, hand around the neck...

Lol funny as 😊😊😊😂😂😂
Although English is great, Korean is beautiful and it just adds another level to them being true to themselves as a group 😊
HOW I WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT MY GOD!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Check out HyunJin's dance MV'S. PLAY WITH FIRE and MOTLEY CREW. So GOOD. 💋

@ that’s because stays are emotionally feral and love the shock/awe
Just happy to see finally you recognize how great Bang Chan is as an artist and recognize all the members 😂love y'all❤
The live performance includes the whole group, just fyi ❤
They are the leading kpop boy group of 4th generation they have been universal for a while now lol the sprinkle of English words isn't the reason its the natural born talent of the boys that got them the recognition they have I think a guide would really help you understand more .
They always mix languages ya'll. They're b8g because they are THEM😊
When I say I came RUNNING to this reaction! 👏🏻👏🏻
You’ll see other comments about how the song is about battling obsession so I won’t recap that but if you watch you’ll notice they are mirroring each other. In essence, they are the two sides of the coin (so to speak) - the light and dark of battling the obsession. A true video masterpiece! ❤️🔥
Now I think you’re ready for Drive (Bang Chan & Lee Know) and Taste (Danceracha). 😊👏🏻
FINALLY!! 🤗I was waiting for your reaction. Love it!!! You guys are the best🫶👏
Yall clearly dont know Chan isnt the ONLY fluent english speacker and thats tough lol..
Fellas... I will be glad when you all get past this English business.
Seriously... Their singing in Korean is so sexy.
English is so blah... 😂
So last century.
It takes time to tune your hearing to a new language but I think you are getting there....when you were watching Kingdom it wasn't bothering you. And it will matter less once you start hearing the words more frequently. It is a very rhythmic language.
And like everyone has said, Stray Kids is #2 in America singing in Korean. So we love them as is!
You really think that video blew up cause it has English and korean? Bro. For real? LOL
kpop is an industry not an genre, so it's pretty normal at least for me to like songs because there's variety. It's like hearing latin songs by english singers or bossa nova songs in korean. It's the same thing the only thing that changes it's language...
Yeaa this song and video is everything🔥but guyz..I know its fun to hear your own language but subtitles exists for a reason, and them singing in Korean is pretty much the whole thing about k-pop and appreciating what they produce🤷🏻♀️I kind of hope these groups stick to that in the future and don’t get to influenced
There's English in almost ALL their songs, but honestly, ya'll don't shut up long enough to realize that lol. I can't with the adhd, but you keep doing you boo
I wouldn't say its just because of the English- a lot of their songs have English in it- and they have some songs fully in English. Its the sexiness and at the time, was one of their most wild songs and videos.
Your reactions are fantastic! And as others have said the concept is the red light from the recording booth and their obsession about singing and dancing. ❤❤
Finally...red lights❤️🔥 are you okay guys?😂😂😂
I love your reaction..I love bangchan..I love hyunjin..I love u guys...❤
Bangchan n hyunjin are hot duo🔥🔥🔥 They both have the same taste in music...and they make a lot of songs together..
Chan has always been insane fr. He definitely bleeds music and I cannot do anything but marvel at his genius everytime. I love when reactors also peep him for the genius ace musician that he is 🥹
Omg you did my request ❤thank you guys! Love your videos!
There is an OT8 version of Red Lights where all the members sing during the tour, and it's just amazing!!
There's English in nearly every song! They nearly all speak English perfectly. Bang Chan and Felix are Australian so English is their first language. Han went to school in Singapore where they speak English, and Hyunjin grew up in America.. stop being surprised! 😂😂😂
The song is about insomnia that correlates with their work in writing composing and choreography. The chains are linked to those studios. The choking is them choking themselves not each other. The red lights are at the studio. Make you feel my love line is to STAY (fans). Also....Bangchan laid out the instrumentals while Hyunjin wrote the words. 😊 and White beenie twin, your fav is Felix. Oh and look up their live performance on this song with all members singing it. It's amazing.
All of their music is mixed with English and Korean except the ones that are all English and real stays know this and do not care about whether or not they do more English ones 🫤
Let's go!!!!! 😂Yall crack me up. This is a masterpiece. When I first saw it - I couldn't breathe. LOL Keep them coming!!
Been waiting for this! You guys were finally ready to respect the craft and the video! One of my favorites by them.
😂😂😂😂 commenting before I watch you react😂 I imagine it will be a good one hahaha
thank you for giving so many great reactions EACH DAY!!! Make sure you take care of yourselves :)
Ik this is a reaction video and what I’m about to say is off topic but u guys really have made my week better. I’ve been dealing with a lot of family issues, my grandpa being in the hospital and almost going homeless u guys really made me feel happy; even if it’s just for a day it makes it a little better. Just thank you bc I haven’t felt that happy unless I watch videos to help me escape what’s going on. Again, thank you so much for making me and probably many others happy.
Bangchan is an extremely talented lyricist & musician that people sometimes forget. Hyunjin is also those things, too & not just a pretty face. Both men are extremely talented, as are all of Skz.
The song is supposed to be about their obsession with their work.When Hyunjin rewatched it he enjoyed it while when Bang Chan rewatched it he cringed 😂
You should definitely watch the live 6 they did in Sydney 2022 with ALL of the members. Soooooo damn good. I love yalls channel!
So happy I was about to recommend Red Lights to u guys 🔥
Stray Kids have been doing chunks of english lyrics since the start honestly its not super new, just some songs have more than others. Pretty much every song you've listened to has some english incorporated
I laughed so much, I don't think I have ever laughed this much in my life
Love your reactions
Everything in music about waring bad side and good side of human and red light means, devil is coming .
Yea the lyrics are legitimately about fighting your obsessions. And yes the video - they wanted it to be sexy. In general they wanted the whole package to be left up to each viewer’s own interpretation. But the coolest thing I heard Chan say was visually, they were supposed to be the opposite sides of the same person. And they brilliantly pulled that off!
The realness of y'all singing and trying the notes is SO what we do when we listen to it. Anyone who says they ain't doing the EXACT same thing is a liar. Our cars as we drive, our bathrooms when we get ready and our kitchens as we cook... they know the truth!
Stray kids everywhere all around the world 🌍 you make stray kids stay ❤
MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE NOEASY ALBUM!!!!
Next , Taste by dance racha.. first watch colour code lyrics video and then live performance...
LETS GOOOOOO! Been waiting for this for 3 weeks!
LMAO they really don't know how famous skz is
All their songs have English,even French and Spanish now sprinkled into their albums now. Full English songs as well that usually throw me off ha ha like wait a minute😂
Check out the stage performance with the whole group. And Taste is another mv that's fire with Felix Leeknow and Hyunjin. Listen to Bang Chan I hate to admit
It’s about toxic obsessions!! One of my faves!!! ❤
Hyunjin wrote the lyrics of the song and Ban Chang composed the music, then the arrangements were made by them were a joint work.
This was by far the best RED LIGHTS reaction EVER 😂 Love you guys so much! Thank you😊🤍💜🤍
You guys are so much fun , I love your reactions.
Well, they are pretty big topping Billboard last year. hahaha...and Stay love their Korean music. That is what subs are for, lol...
No sane Kpop fan wants them to make a lot of songs in English. It's Kpop. The predominant language of the songs has to be Korean. It's an opinion that many agree with.
One of my favorite Stray kids songs! Also with a similar vibe, their song Taste. Performed by Felix, Hyunjin and Lee Know. There is no video clip for her, but there is their performance on some show. Take a look, I want to see your reaction to it.
Now yall need to hear drive, it’s lee know and bang Chan
2:26 stray kids already have plenty of fully-english songs (and english versions of songs) and embed a lot of english into their songs anyways😅 they’re also already pretty big globally despite having korean lyrics. i get that yall wanna be able to understand what they’re saying but implying that going full english is the only way for them to achieve success is kinda annoying 😭 they’re a kpop group - let them speak korean.
also red lights is definitely NOT stray kids’ biggest song idk where yall got that from tbh 😭 yes it’s one of their more known bsides but that has nothing to do with them speaking more english it’s mainly because of the music video and sexy concept😅
It’s their toxic relationship with work obsession. The red lights is the recording light
Only just discovered your channel, LOVE the energy! Hope to see lots more of SKZ reactions! There's actually a video of Bang Chan reacting to the Red Lights MV, he gets so flustered. 🤣 I'm sure many others commented this already, but its actually about their work obsession and not at all about what the video might imply without the context. lol They have a few purely english songs too!
I think it’s about time they react to some straykids TikToks
This is about extreme toxic obsessions.
I never clicked so fast in my entire life!!!!!!!
Yall have to watch TASTE live stage next with DanceRatcha Lee know, Felix and Hyunjin
Most of theirs songs have both Korean and English, or Japanese and English. The song is originally called Compulsion in Korean and is about their obsession with work, but as always they want us to put our own interpretation on it. You should check out "Howl in harmony" is the episodes that show how the 3 groups, Bang Chan/Hyunjin, Lee Know/Felix/Chanbin and Han/Seungmin/I.N came up with the concepts for their songs.
Y'all gotta check out Slump and Scars (the original and the english versions) for sure!!!!
Im dying for them to do the slump one take
I see this request in the comments but when you can Hyunjin has awesome dance covers to 3 songs:
Play with Fire (his own choreo)
When The Party’s Over (Billie Eilish) (his own choreo)
He was Artist of the Month
Cover to Motley Crew Post Malone (not his choreo I don’t think)
