@becauseisaac thanks for this. If never seen the point in a VPN before, so your explanation was really helpful (and you're nice to listen to, so I actually listened). And this is good deal for a highly recommended service 🙂
Something that makes Stray Kids a very memorable song to fans who have been around a little longer is that it takes chord progressions heard in their very first song and do an adaptation within those chords to create a meaningful song for the fans. It’s my personal belief that Mountains and Stray Kids (the song) were both created with their upcoming tour in mind. There are easy to sing sections that fans can easily join in on.
Thank you for bringing this up, I was going to say the same thing too! Stray Kids was a trip down memory lane, not just in the chords used in Hellavator and the clips of their past music videos and concerts, there was a lot of memorable things in their lyrics.
The song Stray Kids probably only hits really hard when you've been a fan for a while. The whole music video are references to old music videos over the span of 7 years, it's really emotional when you saw them making their way up over the years :) they actually said that they cried writing the lyrics. You'd love Jjam though
Bro ... they also wrote a sick a$$ song called "SLASH" for the sound track for new movie Deadpool & Wolverine It has plenty of bass and all that good stuff ....PLEASE REACT TO IT... thank you
You should watch the other MV for this album, JJAM. There is an album intro that explains their concepts and process, and one of them, Seungmin I think, says that what Changbin didn't put in Chk Chk Boom, he put it JJAM. It's real fun, and it has banger choreo. There's a dance practice for it as well. Stray Kids the song is for the fandom. Stay have already adopted it as an anthem, and a lot of Stay teared up at that video. Not sure if you've heard Hellevator yet, which was their first song, pre-debut. They've just renewed their contract, and this song is telling Stay that they aren't going to stop.
Also, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are friends with Stray Kids. They have been since SKZ did a Deadpool-Themed performance on a show called Kingdom in 2021 (its was a mashup of God's Menu and BlackPink's Ddu Ddu Ddu). It went viral and someone sent it to Ryan, and a adorable friendship was born. Since Felix and Bang Chan (the leader) are both Australian, Ryan dragged Hugh into it too. They also got to meet Chris Hemsworth this year at the Met Gala and he apparently picked up each member of SKZ, lol. So Ryan and Hugh did this video for funsies and friendship, without Marvel's knowledge according to Ryan. He didn't tell them before he did it.
Main reason why old fans love song Stray Kids is PRECISELY that chord progression. Because that is the chord progression they used in their very first song ever, Hellevator, which they also talk about here.
I wish you listened to JJAM instead of Stray Kids. I think Stray Kids was made more for concerts. It's meant to be a song they use for connecting with STAY and having an emotional 'we made it' moment, so I think that's why the production is lighter, so as not to distract from the emotion of the song. The lyrics are full of old references and old song titles, so they've kept the power in the lyrics rather than the production. I think JJAM will be what you're looking for, and has fun choreo. It's so different again from any of their other songs while still having that Skz sound. I'd also recommend watching the album teaser mashup so you can get a taste of the whole album in a few minutes without listening to it. The video is super creative, showing each stage of the creation process of their album in visuals.
15:03 Felix actually auditioned with a free-style dance to become a JYP trainee, not even singing (to Bang Chan's surprise lol), and he is the youngest of the three members in the dance unit aka Danceracha (with Lee Know and Hyunjin). 😊 Many years competing in Taekwondo taught him how to stay light on his feet, and his foot work is so good! He also was in charge of adding flair to the choreo with high kicks and spins in the past, but has stopped due to a chronic back injury. Also Stray Kids by Skz might have more emphasis on the lyrics as it's more of a sentimental song for Stay and Skz themselves. Past songs such as Hellevator (their first song predebut), Lonely St., Blueprint, Miroh, Spread My Wings and District 9 are referenced in the lyrics and/or in the M/V with flashbacks to their past work. We got a teaser before they released the M/V and Stay cried their eyes out with just the teaser. It was game over when the video revealed flashbacks of the kids all the way back to predebut. They also renewed their contract a year earlier so this song and the "oh we'll never stop" and the "no last Step Out" had everyone feeling sentimental ❤
If you want to hear there pure vocals, check out their making ofs or behind the scenes (on their TH-cam). They have them recording in studio raw vocal. Also, they have a few songs on TH-cam "The First Take" where you can also hear their vocals. Some of the best songs ever! You can just search Stray Kids The First Take and find them! ❤
The first take does fix their voice a little bit. The best option is seeing them in the studio or maybe a live performance (but then the vocals wouldn’t be clear from the dancing and the backtrack)
@sofiarolfranco3381 That is why I suggested their making of videos for the raw studio stuff. But I meant for pure as in the audio is clear and easier to hear the vocals over the music (in my opinion), not that it's not fixed a bit... because outside of their lives and live performances, there will be rare "raw" vocals to find full songs of hahaha
RE: Chk Chk Boom Because of the appearance of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in the Chk Chk Boom music video, some people think that song was in the Deadpool movie. Stray Kids have actually been friends with RR and HJ for a few years. But other than them appearing in the M/V, the song Chk Chk Boom is not related to the Deadpool movie at all. The song Stray Kids (actually, 3Racha) DID write for the official Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack is called SLASH. It's exclusively on the movie soundtrack and not part of Stray Kids' new album, ATE. Unfortunately, there's no M/V for SLASH, but here's a lyrics video: th-cam.com/video/dhj4fK24jnM/w-d-xo.html
Ryan has been friends with Chan, since 2021 , They've been really close friends exchanging gifts and complementing each other. The funny thing is that marvel dosen't know about this collab. Both Ryan and Hugh willing decided to cameo on the M/V because they both love Straykids so much. Fast forward to now, both Hugh and Ryan are huge Stays, This collab was anticipated for stays for a while. Also Straykids will be featured in the new Deadpool and wolverine movie theough an OST ( original sound track )called "Slash", the track for slash was barely heard in the movie and was heard 17:08 into the deadpool movie, if you pay attention you can felix's voice saying tap, its the scence when wade (ryan) goes opens the door to talk to the TVA Based on the M/V I saw a total of 15 refrecnes to songs, their could be more , but these I know for sure, Hellevator, District 9, mixtape:on, THUNDEROUS, GROWUP, BLUEPRINT,DOUBLE KNOT , MIROH, levanter, Easy, mirror , sideefffefcts, mixtape:time out, lonely st, spread my wings, I will be explaning the refrecnes and the how they actually tied with the actual orriginal M/V of eadch song 1.)

@LeeKnowYongbokMyBiases827 what is "flaunting that fact off" supposed to mean? And are you really spitting your dummy about someone flaunting when your name is you flaunting your biases? 😂 Too bad you don't care about anything the members say, or you'd know why this tantrum is doubly stupid.
The Stray Kids track is a call back in terms of music, lyrics, and m/vs of their journey over the last 7 years and is incredibly emotional for Stay. There are references that are meant to bring back the feelings from pre-debut to now. It is beloved for each chord, line of lyric, and m/v scene even if it doesn't do anything experimental or different in the production. The Ryan Reynolds connection and friendship goes back for a few years (look up Kingdom:Legendary War and God's Du-Du-Du-Du) and the collab was inevitable. They have the only original track on the Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack with badass "Slash." Autotune is a tool that actually compliments a SKZ track. I was never a fan of the use of Autotune, but Bang Chan and 3RACHA have managed to convince me that it's perfect in any SKZ track because they know precisely where to use it as an enhancement effect as opposed to a vocal crutch. I welcome it in their music. You missed JJAM: Another awesome track andm/v with amazing choreo. Thanks for the reaction! Looking forward to seeing more Stray Kids!
Isaac, please more Stray Kids reactions, they have mind-blowing songs: Lose My Breath (ft. Charlie Puth), Lalalala, Thunderous. Case 143, Venom, Freeze, Megaverse. These songs have all amazing music videos!!
Stray kids song is their past and shouting out their future. In the song they mention past songs like hellivator. Plus you will see flashes of them in the past. Basically they are are proud of how far they have come and promise a future.
If you want choreo, watch the performance videos. Stray Kids is for Stay, so we know what their voices sound like. The music is like that on purpose, partly for the nostalgia, partly because the point of the song is the message in the lyrics so the music is simple to not distract from that. When you've heard more of their stuff you'll get that's that how they do it. You really need to listen to the lyrics, like they say at the start, the message is in their music. Stray Kids is them telling you who they are. And God's Menu told you they do everything, every style, every flavour you could want. There's no such thing as typical SKZ, you just picked title tracks so they have similar vibes, but every album is a mix of styles and every album is different from the last. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are in the Chk Chk Boom mv because they're really good friends with SKZ. It started years ago with a Deadpool theme for the Kingdom competition show. Felix fanboyed over Ryan Reynolds, Ryan is a K-pop fan and fanboyed back and sent BangChan a gift basket of treats, and declared him his new favourite Australian. Hugh Jackman is one of Ryan Reynolds closest friends, and his previous favourite Australian, so he replied that BangChan could have Ryan because "he's a lot." And a beautifully weird and bromance was born. I bet you weren't as surprised as Marvel to see Deadpool in a K-pop music video. He didn't tell them he did it 😂 It takes a few hours for them to learn choreo. And the songs are around 3mins because that's how long songs always used to be. Simples 😉
I love that Hugh gifted Ryan to Chan.. He was keeping Felix for himself though lol.. I don't blame him...🖖🏽 I wish someone would gift me a Stray Kid or Stray Old Man.. I'm not picky..
@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 😄 Ryan gave Chan treats and his own brand gin, Hugh gave Chan Ryan 😂 But I think you have to be an Aussie to get a Stray Old Man or a Stray Kid. Sorry, no Strays for Borg lol.
@@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 seems reasonable 🤔 Depends who you assimilate. They did cut the Stray Old Men's dance scene 😂 (I'd seriously pay every penny I have to see that scene!)
Stray Kids the song is perfect as is… for every fan who has discovered their journey, this song is everything. I can’t watch the video, or hear the song, without tearing up. And the line “there ain’t no last STEP OUT” is so powerful. The purpose of this song is a bit different, and they nailed it perfectly
Hello from a Silver Stay💙💙 Their songs are not auto tuned, all you have to do is listen to them at concerts (on TH-cam) and even their studio sessions. You will hear the same voices and their colour coded songs on TH-cam (you can hear their voices for songs without a music video too). I’ve rewatched the 2024 SKZ Complete Guide (going down the SKZ rabbit hole you’ll learn so much about Stray Kids group and Stay family). I’m a silver stay, Stay over 50, I am so proud of their growth-line of song Chan said “…there’s no Step Out…”💙I cry even harder because I know that they have to leave for Korean military service starting next year and Hellevator was their debut movie video and song. This video (Stray Kids) is 3:25 long which is March 25 SKZ debut. Video was released on Stays birthday August 1 (6 years 3 minutes and 52 seconds) 3Racha cried writing lyrics (Bang Chan, Binnie and Han). And hearing Stays & SKZ sing this song during concert you could see how emotional they all were on stage. Not even Love Stay had that reaction. Stays broke this video down to 15 videos used (broken down by video and min/sec) but we think there are some more 💙💙. Please Stay, send any help would be appreciated💙😘 So far we’ve found: Hellevator used throughout Glow District 9 Miroh Victory Song Side effects Double knot In Spread my wings 3:22 the boys make Chan’s wings. Felix starts wings and Han ends. Blueprint Thunderous masks and flowers Kids stand by ocean Time Out White uniforms left on bus Blue flowers signifying Hyunjins blue blindfold “Dark tunnel “ same lyrics as Lonely Street Them watching their own history and Stays at concerts waving the light sticks Key from Cle series and Double Knot Arriving at Haven to sing to stays (every stop shows their history and finally reaching H-Haven their secret, safe space; they ATE this comeback and started their world dominATion💙), Last heartbeat to show joy Still missing fireworks, kids watching shows, concerts, confetti , fireworks, I.N. looking through glass at beginning, Seungmin holding round globe, Felix holding a block (I think), Mixtape time out 0:28 or 3:20 kids on beach. 😭💙i cry every single time i watch this video and hear this song, full of memories 💙💙 Have a blessed day 💙
hello sweet silver Stay, just wanted to relieve any stress to let you know that no one is going into the military services anytime soon. With Chan and Felix being Aussies, they won't be drafted and Lee Know [2nd oldest] still has a long way to go before worrying about that, possible around 2028. They just renewed their contact with JPYe for another 7 years so we got some time still. 🖖🏽
Was curious about the Silver Stray part as I haven't heard it yet. Come to find out I'm 7 years til Silver. Hopefully they renew their contract again for my 5oth.
@@MemphisJagsfan LOL.. I think that something we older Stay 'name ourselves' within Stayville. I call myself a 'Sunbae' Stay which just means senior in Korean. Folks are so surprised that there are a multitude of ages ranges in Stay. Stay from pre-debut will call themselves fossils & newly interested are babyStay. So, no matter what your actually age is, IF you know their names/faces, have a bias or 2 or 8 or can't pick yet.. understand the inside jokes [grass anyone?] or not, but love the music.. you're a Stay. Welcome to Stayville.. Wanna come in?🖖🏽
@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 I've been around for 5 years, so started in my late 30s, but know enough. I've been a Stay for 5 years and have figured out my own strategy to ready myself for new comebacks. My hobby is watching new Stays try to find their bias and then switching after they watch a guide...so hopefully, I'm well along.
I am definitely a Silver Stay(78) and I have never, in all my life, gone down a rabbit hole quite like this one. I love them all, their music is amazing and I just fell in love with their philosophy and ..well.... everything else about them. They have signed on for another 5 years and I hope I'm still around to experience every moment of it. Bless these guys as they have blessed us.
Actually the song stray kids is more sentimental, the intent was to look back on their past and assure fans they’ll be together for long. That’s why it’s a simple song
To fully appreciate the song Stray Kids, one must know the history of their songs and their pre-debut song Hellevator.. This is such a take you down on memory lane, because the music and the lyrics were pieced together from their previous songs and the MVs.
I have to say that if you stick to their music videos you'll miss a lot of really good songs I think stray kids is more lyric focused because it is a call back to so many of their old songs as well as a celebration of their journey and a promise to their fans. I would love to see your raction to Slash and Jjam For their vocals there are so many Twilight of this album is Jazzy There is secret secret and silent cry which kind of go together Cover me and leave of rockstar There are so many good songs. If you want to hear their live vocals any of the one takes is great
Thanks for the video! Please check out JJam, Megaverse and I Lose My Breath (slower song.) I also like I Like It (kind of beepoppy.). Looking forward to seeing more of your SKZ reactions.
For context, their title tracks (like Chk Chk Boom, LALALALA, S-Class, Thunderous, etc.) have the videos with choreography while most of their B-Sides (like Mountains, Megaverse, Topline, Cheese, etc) videos do not. Jjam is one of the exceptions.
The fact that he didn’t even know that Felix was Australian… his reaction reminds me of me fr 🤣 when i knew that Bangchan and Felix were aussies i was like wtf dude fr??? 👁️👄👁️ But yeah. I saw a few comments of stays where they were explaining about Stray kids song. And I absolutely agree with them cuz it’s more touching song than their music type. It’s more likely showing their journey how they’ve started and linking all those years. I personally think that 3racha and the kids wanted to show us how they closed the chapter of debut years and now they are starting new chapter of freedom and renewing their contract n such. If you listen to Stray kids’s debut songs such as Hellevator (pre-debut song), and albums like i am you, i am not, i am who you’ll see how they’ve improved over the years. And also welcome to Stayville Isaac 🥹 PS: YOU GOTTA CHECK SLASH. THAT’S A REALLY HIT DUDE!!
The "stray kids" song was a song representing every mv and old songs they have from the very beginning of thr career, the struggle and how they make a name for thr own as STRAY KIDS if ur not a long time stay you won't understand the meaning of the song. It's a song for Stray Kids and Stays 💙
Actually Ryan is a HUGE fan, he ASKED to be in the video & didn't even ask if he could wear his Dead Poole costume! He & Chan have been friends for quite some time!!!
"Stray Kids" is a song for the fans. They're referencing older songs and MVs we've all come to love. So it's not made as a "hit maker" but more a nod to us. :)
The song Stray Kids is to remember the last 7 years (a significant number in kpop contracts), to reassure the fans that they will be around for long time (the hellevator never stops) and to celebrate that they just renewed their contract with JYP for another 7 years. Stray Kids usually always have one song on each of their albums thats meant to be To Stay/ From Stray Kids. Without being a proper Stay that knows all the backstory, you probably wont appreciate them for what they are. The songs dont have to be complex because thats not the point of the songs.
Their new album is great and super hype but I don't think you've reacted much to Stray Kids flexing their vocal skills. You should really check out songs like Cover me, Limbo, Hold On, Volcano, I hate to admit. They are really deep beautiful songs that show off the huge range of Stray Kids.
Not seen your videos before and you mentioned that you’ve only known of SKZ for a few months, so thought I would explain some things. -The song titled ‘Stray Kids’ is more an ode to the STAYS (fans) than something that’s supposed rock the K-pop industry. They mention lots of songs in there Hellevator, blueprint, lonely street etc…. Also there are lots of things from past MV’s featured in the video like the Hellavator, District 9 bus, Miroh city scape, blue wings and more, which is why there’s no choreo. -Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are STAYS and RR is buddies with a couple of members. -Songs to recommend for a new STAY: Obv Gods Menu and Thunderous, also Megaverse, Venom, Miroh (my fav) Topline, Double knot, Heyday (made for a tv dance comp show) and Side effects (really speaks to me on a personal level). -Oh and STEP OUT is their official group greeting. Hope this helps 🖤
Stray kids proved their vocal strength on their appearance of their legendary kingdom performances battles where they were incredible. At first I wasn’t a fan of the auto tune parts but since knowing they truly sound the same live the autotune is doesn’t bother me as much since I know they are still just as talented. Also hyunjin didn’t perform in the legendary kingdom performances except for the first introduction battle, but they are still so worth watching if you haven’t watched their performances there yet. Also I seen them like at the Kia forum in 2022 and it was SO EPIC. I went alone but I was 22 and wanted to see them so I went,and it was so fun!!
Ryan Reynalds became a Stay after they did a dead pool themed performance. Both Bang Chan and Felix are Austrailian so they struck up an easy professional relationship!!!
sttray kids the song is a constant audio and visual call out to damn near every music video they've ever made. without having a very deep knowledge of their ography, a lot goes over your head, and the magic with it.
Just found your channel. I feel like if any more technicalities was added to “Straykids”, then the simplicity in it would have been long. It's meant to be sincere and simple, in contrast to how tough their journey of 7 years have been.
So, the thing about “Stray Kids” the song, is that it’s a tribute track. The whole video, as well as the lyrics, bring back to the start of their careers, in 2017, when the kind of success they have now was kind of unthinkable (to this day, they’re less popular in Korea than they are in the rest of the world, even though they are gaining recognition in the motherland too). Visually, choreo would be fairly meaningless, because the focus is on the recreation of old scenes from previous videos, giving a nostalgic, look-how-far-we-went vibe, while base-wise, a more complex or louder or richer background would probably take away from the importance of the lyrics, that cite many of their past tracks (e.g. Hellevator, Lonely St. etc.) and also hint at their future since shortly after, I think, Ate came out, they also made public that they renewed the contract with their company, confirming that at least for another 7 years Stray Kids won’t have a “last step out” ❤. Being completely new to your channel, I don’t know your taste, but I seem to understand that you prefer songs more like God’s Menu and Chk Chk Boom, and among all the new songs this one is probably the farthest from your liking 😆 someone in the comments suggested Slash, so awesome!, which could be closer to your preference, and I’d also say JJAM! Hope you get to listen to them, have fun!
Chk chk boom was for the deadpool movie. Thats why, ryan and wolverine did cameo..plus..ryan is friends and a big fan of stray kids..they got interviewed by sk too..😄you may like to react to that too..
YESS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Chk Chk Boom is definitely one of my top 3 favorite songs on the album! You should definitely check out the rest of the album!
Please react to Zayn’s new album “Room Under The Stairs” it’s an amazing work of art that he’s been working on for the past 6 years. It’s raw, real, and personal & Zayn really put his soul into it. Thank you!
There's no need for production acrobatics for song stray kids because it's a sentimental anthem. Only STAYs will get that with this track it's more about their journey.
I’m not sure how much of SKZ vast discography you’ve heard but it doesn’t seem like enough. It seems a bit presumptuous for you to say that the song, Stray Kids, should be like this or that when you don’t know enough to know it’s about their history and is an anthem for Stay. Of course, you have preferences in music styles etc, but to opine that artists should make their music differently???!!
@@n2sunset right, reacting should be you REACTING not saying what should and shouldn’t be😭 You don’t know them and their music when you’re a new fan, be open to new things. Don’t expect the same things from people
literally the first things i noticed about them (before i even heard a song) i watched an interview and noticed …why do they all sound australian slightly? legit could tell felix and bang chan were fr fr Australian but the Korean ones i noticed their “english” accents were Australian!!!!
Hi. Thanks for reacting. This album was designed with the intent to be more universal globally, so they toned down a lot of their normal chaos and hard erratic beats. Also you need you watch live performances to accurately judge their vocals.
Stray kids are so cool. They probably have the most control over their music than anyone else in the K-pop industry. A couple of songs I recommend are: Any, Get Lit, Super Bowl (it’s English but there’s no MV), Super Board, Hall of Fame, and Victory Song These songs are probably not gonna be as recommended but they’re all such bangers ❤ “They also have Felix.” That’s one of the best reasons to Stan stray kids, even stray kids themselves answered the question of “why should I Stan stray kids” with “we have Felix” 😂😂😂 Oh, and Ryan and bangchan are good friends and Ryan is a stay especially after their Deadpool themed performance “God’s Dududu”. It’s a mashup of their song God’s Menu and Blackpick’s song DUDDUDU with so other lyrics and lines added in. ❤
Stray Kids - это песня-ностальгия, гимн всей истории этой группы, она и должна быть такой как они ее записали. В видео на эту песню столько теплых воспоминаний для фанатов группы. Обожаю все 3 песни, на которую вы дали реакции и спасибо вам большое за вашу реакцию и любовь к Stray Kids ♥️
Hey thank u sm for reacting to them again💜 i would love if you can react to their rock-star and 5-star recording sessions i think you would love to see how 3RACHA ( bang chan, chang bin and han) works on the studio. Also bang chan the guy who was on the rooftop next felix is also australian
You probably wont see this... but I'll write it anyway. Okay. My time has come. I've watched all your SKZ reactions videos (no one else in my life likes kpop, rxn videos are all i have to share the joy) and i really need to suggest these cause i feel like theyre underrated! I dont know if you like rap, but im a Huge rap fan, so please react to Stray Kid's more rap focused music😭: *Muddy Water* -- Old school hiphop flow, a song talking about fake people (the muddy waters cause you can see the surface but not whats beneath). The rap in this song is so sick, made me crown skz as the rap kings of kpop. (I grew up on Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Kendrick and J.Cole, i like a old school flow, dont shoot me) *Item* -- SO UNDERRATED! This song has the sickest beat and rap! It has a gaming concept (the members love video games) so even the beat has gaming sound effects in it. They are describing the music industry as a game and they're killing it. An Item is a beneficial thing you gain in games, like the hoover board in subway surfers? So they keep getting items. Like pacman. *3Racha* -- WHERE DO I START?!? In this song, you'll get to see 3Racha (the rap and production team) really shine, Changbin, Han and Chan killed it ridiculously. *Topline* -- PLEASE! This song.. the music video.. the rap!! Here they speak anout how they're the topline of kpop and everyone looks up at them (purr). Next. The FUN Stray Kids Songs! *Christmas Evel* -- A song where they complain about Christmas and winter and how overrated both are😂 (they're really just in a bad mood cause Santa is in hospital and they gotta work to fill in for him) *Cheese* -- Here they talk to haters who mock their music and include all the songs haters mocked in this one song 😂🔥 And they say Cheese to tell the haters to smile and lighten up a little, songs dont always have to be serious. *JJAM* -- They describe their music as an addictive jam (song) which they make. They use the word Jam in different ways, Jam (song), jam (dance), jam(for your toast) and create a concept where this jam is so addictive, its a drug and it makes you jam to it. Deep songs😢❤ *Lonely St.* -- Bro, i love this song so much... the chorus makes me tear up. *Winter Falls* --😭😭😭😭😭😭 heartbreak... pain... winter😭💔 *Silent Cry* -- this song sounds hype, but i promise it's sad💀
"Not trying to sell these headphones" Me, buying the headphones: well, could've fooled me... lmao (Will I be re-listening to all of SKZ discography with them just to get the full, detailed, experience? Yes. I will.)
I would love for you to react to The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) by Ren!! It has been a while since your last Ren reaction. I really enjoyed them ny the way.
Isaac you should listen to Stray kids ATE , stray kids have new songs there that they just came out like JJAM and Mountains and stray kids (basically stray kids) , but with ATEEZ you should listen to ATEEZ X BE:FIRST called Hush hush , BE:FIRST is a Japanese Boy Band

thank you so much for this video, i just love your reactions and i’m the biggest stay ever!!
@becauseisaac thanks for this. If never seen the point in a VPN before, so your explanation was really helpful (and you're nice to listen to, so I actually listened).
And this is good deal for a highly recommended service 🙂
last day of offer.
Something that makes Stray Kids a very memorable song to fans who have been around a little longer is that it takes chord progressions heard in their very first song and do an adaptation within those chords to create a meaningful song for the fans.
It’s my personal belief that Mountains and Stray Kids (the song) were both created with their upcoming tour in mind. There are easy to sing sections that fans can easily join in on.
Thank you for bringing this up, I was going to say the same thing too! Stray Kids was a trip down memory lane, not just in the chords used in Hellavator and the clips of their past music videos and concerts, there was a lot of memorable things in their lyrics.
The song Stray Kids probably only hits really hard when you've been a fan for a while. The whole music video are references to old music videos over the span of 7 years, it's really emotional when you saw them making their way up over the years :) they actually said that they cried writing the lyrics. You'd love Jjam though
I cried watching the Stray Kids video, it's such a lovely look back
I just worry that they're looking back because they're preparing for the inevitable K-pop 'break'
Bro ... they also wrote a sick a$$ song called "SLASH" for the sound track for new movie Deadpool & Wolverine It has plenty of bass and all that good stuff ....PLEASE REACT TO IT... thank you
THIS. It is AMAZING.
Yes, please!!!❤
It's easily my favorite Stray Kids song. Maybe my favorite song period. I hope it gets a music video...
@@ColKizumi that would be so awesome.
It fits the movie so well. Reynolds became a fan of SKZ after their Deadpool themed performance on Kingdom.
You should watch the other MV for this album, JJAM. There is an album intro that explains their concepts and process, and one of them, Seungmin I think, says that what Changbin didn't put in Chk Chk Boom, he put it JJAM. It's real fun, and it has banger choreo. There's a dance practice for it as well. Stray Kids the song is for the fandom. Stay have already adopted it as an anthem, and a lot of Stay teared up at that video. Not sure if you've heard Hellevator yet, which was their first song, pre-debut. They've just renewed their contract, and this song is telling Stay that they aren't going to stop.
Also, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are friends with Stray Kids. They have been since SKZ did a Deadpool-Themed performance on a show called Kingdom in 2021 (its was a mashup of God's Menu and BlackPink's Ddu Ddu Ddu). It went viral and someone sent it to Ryan, and a adorable friendship was born. Since Felix and Bang Chan (the leader) are both Australian, Ryan dragged Hugh into it too. They also got to meet Chris Hemsworth this year at the Met Gala and he apparently picked up each member of SKZ, lol. So Ryan and Hugh did this video for funsies and friendship, without Marvel's knowledge according to Ryan. He didn't tell them before he did it.
@@ladyshar42 and SKZ's song SLASH is in the new marvel movie as well
Main reason why old fans love song Stray Kids is PRECISELY that chord progression. Because that is the chord progression they used in their very first song ever, Hellevator, which they also talk about here.
Gotcha! That makes a lot of sense now
Non old fans too!! I love this song so much. I’m like a year old stay I think
I wish you listened to JJAM instead of Stray Kids. I think Stray Kids was made more for concerts. It's meant to be a song they use for connecting with STAY and having an emotional 'we made it' moment, so I think that's why the production is lighter, so as not to distract from the emotion of the song. The lyrics are full of old references and old song titles, so they've kept the power in the lyrics rather than the production.
I think JJAM will be what you're looking for, and has fun choreo. It's so different again from any of their other songs while still having that Skz sound. I'd also recommend watching the album teaser mashup so you can get a taste of the whole album in a few minutes without listening to it. The video is super creative, showing each stage of the creation process of their album in visuals.
I found Jjam after filming the video 🥲
It's just sooo sticky@@becauseisaac
@@becauseisaacdo jjam next?
15:03 Felix actually auditioned with a free-style dance to become a JYP trainee, not even singing (to Bang Chan's surprise lol), and he is the youngest of the three members in the dance unit aka Danceracha (with Lee Know and Hyunjin). 😊 Many years competing in Taekwondo taught him how to stay light on his feet, and his foot work is so good! He also was in charge of adding flair to the choreo with high kicks and spins in the past, but has stopped due to a chronic back injury.
Also Stray Kids by Skz might have more emphasis on the lyrics as it's more of a sentimental song for Stay and Skz themselves. Past songs such as Hellevator (their first song predebut), Lonely St., Blueprint, Miroh, Spread My Wings and District 9 are referenced in the lyrics and/or in the M/V with flashbacks to their past work. We got a teaser before they released the M/V and Stay cried their eyes out with just the teaser. It was game over when the video revealed flashbacks of the kids all the way back to predebut. They also renewed their contract a year earlier so this song and the "oh we'll never stop" and the "no last Step Out" had everyone feeling sentimental ❤
You never have to ask Stay if it's OK to watch more whether it's dance practice or anything else SKZ. :-D
If you want to hear there pure vocals, check out their making ofs or behind the scenes (on their TH-cam). They have them recording in studio raw vocal.
Also, they have a few songs on TH-cam "The First Take" where you can also hear their vocals. Some of the best songs ever! You can just search Stray Kids The First Take and find them! ❤
The first take does fix their voice a little bit. The best option is seeing them in the studio or maybe a live performance (but then the vocals wouldn’t be clear from the dancing and the backtrack)
@sofiarolfranco3381 That is why I suggested their making of videos for the raw studio stuff. But I meant for pure as in the audio is clear and easier to hear the vocals over the music (in my opinion), not that it's not fixed a bit... because outside of their lives and live performances, there will be rare "raw" vocals to find full songs of hahaha
Lollapalooza made me a fan it is straight up hrs of hype! I cannot explain I have been a passive watcher and seeing that show was incredible.
RE: Chk Chk Boom
Because of the appearance of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in the Chk Chk Boom music video, some people think that song was in the Deadpool movie.
Stray Kids have actually been friends with RR and HJ for a few years. But other than them appearing in the M/V, the song Chk Chk Boom is not related to the Deadpool movie at all.
The song Stray Kids (actually, 3Racha) DID write for the official Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack is called SLASH. It's exclusively on the movie soundtrack and not part of Stray Kids' new album, ATE.
Unfortunately, there's no M/V for SLASH, but here's a lyrics video:
th-cam.com/video/dhj4fK24jnM/w-d-xo.html
Ryan has been friends with Chan, since 2021 , They've been really close friends exchanging gifts and complementing each other. The funny thing is that marvel dosen't know about this collab. Both Ryan and Hugh willing decided to cameo on the M/V because they both love Straykids so much. Fast forward to now, both Hugh and Ryan are huge Stays, This collab was anticipated for stays for a while. Also Straykids will be featured in the new Deadpool and wolverine movie theough an OST ( original sound track )called "Slash", the track for slash was barely heard in the movie and was heard 17:08 into the deadpool movie, if you pay attention you can felix's voice saying tap, its the scence when wade (ryan) goes opens the door to talk to the TVA

Possibly there was I'am you refrences or my pace
All these songs are based on SKZ lore which I hghly recommend you watchl
Wooo, that’s a lot! Thanks for writing that out
Come to the Stay side. We have Felix 😊
Already here 😄
@becauseisaac 😁 Welcome Baby Stay 👋
What's that supposed to mean? "We have felix", we flaunting that fact off?
@LeeKnowYongbokMyBiases827 what is "flaunting that fact off" supposed to mean?
And are you really spitting your dummy about someone flaunting when your name is you flaunting your biases? 😂
Too bad you don't care about anything the members say, or you'd know why this tantrum is doubly stupid.
I would love to recommend stray kids rock star recording, you can see how 3racha (Bang chan, changbin,han) directs the others, It's very interesting.
The Stray Kids track is a call back in terms of music, lyrics, and m/vs of their journey over the last 7 years and is incredibly emotional for Stay. There are references that are meant to bring back the feelings from pre-debut to now. It is beloved for each chord, line of lyric, and m/v scene even if it doesn't do anything experimental or different in the production.
The Ryan Reynolds connection and friendship goes back for a few years (look up Kingdom:Legendary War and God's Du-Du-Du-Du) and the collab was inevitable. They have the only original track on the Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack with badass "Slash."
Autotune is a tool that actually compliments a SKZ track. I was never a fan of the use of Autotune, but Bang Chan and 3RACHA have managed to convince me that it's perfect in any SKZ track because they know precisely where to use it as an enhancement effect as opposed to a vocal crutch. I welcome it in their music.
You missed JJAM: Another awesome track andm/v with amazing choreo.
Thanks for the reaction! Looking forward to seeing more Stray Kids!
their song Jjam also has a MV and choreo as well
Isaac, please more Stray Kids reactions, they have mind-blowing songs: Lose My Breath (ft. Charlie Puth), Lalalala, Thunderous. Case 143, Venom, Freeze, Megaverse. These songs have all amazing music videos!!
Stray kids song is their past and shouting out their future. In the song they mention past songs like hellivator. Plus you will see flashes of them in the past. Basically they are are proud of how far they have come and promise a future.
NOOO I WAS WAITING FOR THE DANCE BREAK IN THE LAST PART OF THE VIDEO
Please React them live. To good!
If you want choreo, watch the performance videos.
Stray Kids is for Stay, so we know what their voices sound like. The music is like that on purpose, partly for the nostalgia, partly because the point of the song is the message in the lyrics so the music is simple to not distract from that. When you've heard more of their stuff you'll get that's that how they do it.
You really need to listen to the lyrics, like they say at the start, the message is in their music. Stray Kids is them telling you who they are. And God's Menu told you they do everything, every style, every flavour you could want. There's no such thing as typical SKZ, you just picked title tracks so they have similar vibes, but every album is a mix of styles and every album is different from the last.
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are in the Chk Chk Boom mv because they're really good friends with SKZ.
It started years ago with a Deadpool theme for the Kingdom competition show. Felix fanboyed over Ryan Reynolds, Ryan is a K-pop fan and fanboyed back and sent BangChan a gift basket of treats, and declared him his new favourite Australian. Hugh Jackman is one of Ryan Reynolds closest friends, and his previous favourite Australian, so he replied that BangChan could have Ryan because "he's a lot." And a beautifully weird and bromance was born.
I bet you weren't as surprised as Marvel to see Deadpool in a K-pop music video. He didn't tell them he did it 😂
It takes a few hours for them to learn choreo.
And the songs are around 3mins because that's how long songs always used to be. Simples 😉
I love that Hugh gifted Ryan to Chan.. He was keeping Felix for himself though lol.. I don't blame him...🖖🏽 I wish someone would gift me a Stray Kid or Stray Old Man.. I'm not picky..
@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 😄
Ryan gave Chan treats and his own brand gin, Hugh gave Chan Ryan 😂
But I think you have to be an Aussie to get a Stray Old Man or a Stray Kid. Sorry, no Strays for Borg lol.
@@cutebutevil7387 hehe.. that's okay... I will just assimilate one of them... I'm not picky 🖖🏽Maybe I will be able to actually dance a little bit.
@@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 seems reasonable 🤔
Depends who you assimilate. They did cut the Stray Old Men's dance scene 😂
(I'd seriously pay every penny I have to see that scene!)
@@cutebutevil7387 Right there with you gurll..
Stray Kids the song is perfect as is… for every fan who has discovered their journey, this song is everything. I can’t watch the video, or hear the song, without tearing up. And the line “there ain’t no last STEP OUT” is so powerful. The purpose of this song is a bit different, and they nailed it perfectly
Hello from a Silver Stay💙💙 Their songs are not auto tuned, all you have to do is listen to them at concerts (on TH-cam) and even their studio sessions. You will hear the same voices and their colour coded songs on TH-cam (you can hear their voices for songs without a music video too).
I’ve rewatched the 2024 SKZ Complete Guide (going down the SKZ rabbit hole you’ll learn so much about Stray Kids group and Stay family). I’m a silver stay, Stay over 50, I am so proud of their growth-line of song Chan said “…there’s no Step Out…”💙I cry even harder because I know that they have to leave for Korean military service starting next year and Hellevator was their debut movie video and song.
This video (Stray Kids) is 3:25 long which is March 25 SKZ debut. Video was released on Stays birthday August 1 (6 years 3 minutes and 52 seconds) 3Racha cried writing lyrics (Bang Chan, Binnie and Han). And hearing Stays & SKZ sing this song during concert you could see how emotional they all were on stage. Not even Love Stay had that reaction.
Stays broke this video down to 15 videos used (broken down by video and min/sec) but we think there are some more 💙💙. Please Stay, send any help would be appreciated💙😘
So far we’ve found:
Hellevator used throughout
Glow
District 9
Miroh
Victory Song
Side effects
Double knot
In Spread my wings 3:22 the boys make Chan’s wings. Felix starts wings and Han ends.
Blueprint
Thunderous masks and flowers
Kids stand by ocean Time Out
White uniforms left on bus
Blue flowers signifying Hyunjins blue blindfold
“Dark tunnel “ same lyrics as Lonely Street
Them watching their own history and Stays at concerts waving the light sticks
Key from Cle series and Double Knot
Arriving at Haven to sing to stays (every stop shows their history and finally reaching H-Haven their secret, safe space; they ATE this comeback and started their world dominATion💙),
Last heartbeat to show joy
Still missing fireworks, kids watching shows, concerts, confetti , fireworks, I.N. looking through glass at beginning, Seungmin holding round globe, Felix holding a block (I think),
Mixtape time out 0:28 or 3:20 kids on beach.
😭💙i cry every single time i watch this video and hear this song, full of memories 💙💙
Have a blessed day 💙
hello sweet silver Stay, just wanted to relieve any stress to let you know that no one is going into the military services anytime soon. With Chan and Felix being Aussies, they won't be drafted and Lee Know [2nd oldest] still has a long way to go before worrying about that, possible around 2028. They just renewed their contact with JPYe for another 7 years so we got some time still. 🖖🏽
Was curious about the Silver Stray part as I haven't heard it yet. Come to find out I'm 7 years til Silver. Hopefully they renew their contract again for my 5oth.
@@MemphisJagsfan LOL.. I think that something we older Stay 'name ourselves' within Stayville. I call myself a 'Sunbae' Stay which just means senior in Korean. Folks are so surprised that there are a multitude of ages ranges in Stay. Stay from pre-debut will call themselves fossils & newly interested are babyStay. So, no matter what your actually age is, IF you know their names/faces, have a bias or 2 or 8 or can't pick yet.. understand the inside jokes [grass anyone?] or not, but love the music.. you're a Stay. Welcome to Stayville.. Wanna come in?🖖🏽
@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 I've been around for 5 years, so started in my late 30s, but know enough. I've been a Stay for 5 years and have figured out my own strategy to ready myself for new comebacks. My hobby is watching new Stays try to find their bias and then switching after they watch a guide...so hopefully, I'm well along.
I am definitely a Silver Stay(78) and I have never, in all my life, gone down a rabbit hole quite like this one. I love them all, their music is amazing and I just fell in love with their philosophy and ..well.... everything else about them. They have signed on for another 5 years and I hope I'm still around to experience every moment of it. Bless these guys as they have blessed us.
If you want some more raw vocals check out
First Take: Scars
First Take: Mixtape OH
Or they have behind the scenes of them recording in the studio
Actually the song stray kids is more sentimental, the intent was to look back on their past and assure fans they’ll be together for long. That’s why it’s a simple song
the way they really found han makes that scene so much more emotional to watch now i just cry all the time
To fully appreciate the song Stray Kids, one must know the history of their songs and their pre-debut song Hellevator.. This is such a take you down on memory lane, because the music and the lyrics were pieced together from their previous songs and the MVs.
You should definitely check out JJAM !!
I have to say that if you stick to their music videos you'll miss a lot of really good songs
I think stray kids is more lyric focused because it is a call back to so many of their old songs as well as a celebration of their journey and a promise to their fans.
I would love to see your raction to Slash and Jjam
For their vocals there are so many
Twilight of this album is Jazzy
There is secret secret and silent cry which kind of go together
Cover me and leave of rockstar
There are so many good songs.
If you want to hear their live vocals any of the one takes is great
I love Felix he’s how I got into SKZ. I’m so proud of their success they really deserve it. 3racha be making straight bangers!
If you want to know just how great the stray kids song are, you have to listen to everything they have made 🤣
0:18 “and they also have Felix” is the most relatable thing I’ve heard all year 😂❤
5:42 1st beat and I’m already prepared to sob again 😭
Felix is in their dance-line with Lee Know and Hyunjin
please do more of these omg i love your reactions to skz😭
I love stray kids, stray kids because of the nostalgia
Thanks for the video! Please check out JJam, Megaverse and I Lose My Breath (slower song.) I also like I Like It (kind of beepoppy.). Looking forward to seeing more of your SKZ reactions.
The ‘stray kids’ song is the song about their journey, if you watch their older video from predebut until now, they put some of it herr
For context, their title tracks (like Chk Chk Boom, LALALALA, S-Class, Thunderous, etc.) have the videos with choreography while most of their B-Sides (like Mountains, Megaverse, Topline, Cheese, etc) videos do not. Jjam is one of the exceptions.
The fact that he didn’t even know that Felix was Australian… his reaction reminds me of me fr 🤣 when i knew that Bangchan and Felix were aussies i was like wtf dude fr??? 👁️👄👁️
But yeah. I saw a few comments of stays where they were explaining about Stray kids song. And I absolutely agree with them cuz it’s more touching song than their music type. It’s more likely showing their journey how they’ve started and linking all those years. I personally think that 3racha and the kids wanted to show us how they closed the chapter of debut years and now they are starting new chapter of freedom and renewing their contract n such. If you listen to Stray kids’s debut songs such as Hellevator (pre-debut song), and albums like i am you, i am not, i am who you’ll see how they’ve improved over the years. And also welcome to Stayville Isaac 🥹
PS: YOU GOTTA CHECK SLASH. THAT’S A REALLY HIT DUDE!!
You should react to their songs on “first take” they sing 4 songs with one take it’s so good
Slump
Mixtape
Scars
Lost me
All on “first take”
The "stray kids" song was a song representing every mv and old songs they have from the very beginning of thr career, the struggle and how they make a name for thr own as STRAY KIDS if ur not a long time stay you won't understand the meaning of the song. It's a song for Stray Kids and Stays 💙
I feel like they wanted Stray Kods to be an anthem for their growth, and something easy for ALL stays to sing. They didn’t need over production.
"they have Felix" indeed felix is one of the things that makes stray kids STRAY KIDS ❤
Actually Ryan is a HUGE fan, he ASKED to be in the video & didn't even ask if he could wear his Dead Poole costume! He & Chan have been friends for quite some time!!!
"Stray Kids" is a song for the fans. They're referencing older songs and MVs we've all come to love. So it's not made as a "hit maker" but more a nod to us. :)
The song Stray Kids is to remember the last 7 years (a significant number in kpop contracts), to reassure the fans that they will be around for long time (the hellevator never stops) and to celebrate that they just renewed their contract with JYP for another 7 years.
Stray Kids usually always have one song on each of their albums thats meant to be To Stay/ From Stray Kids. Without being a proper Stay that knows all the backstory, you probably wont appreciate them for what they are. The songs dont have to be complex because thats not the point of the songs.
The also have 3Racha. That actually do the music.
Their new album is great and super hype but I don't think you've reacted much to Stray Kids flexing their vocal skills. You should really check out songs like Cover me, Limbo, Hold On, Volcano, I hate to admit. They are really deep beautiful songs that show off the huge range of Stray Kids.
Not seen your videos before and you mentioned that you’ve only known of SKZ for a few months, so thought I would explain some things.
-The song titled ‘Stray Kids’ is more an ode to the STAYS (fans) than something that’s supposed rock the K-pop industry. They mention lots of songs in there Hellevator, blueprint, lonely street etc…. Also there are lots of things from past MV’s featured in the video like the Hellavator, District 9 bus, Miroh city scape, blue wings and more, which is why there’s no choreo.
-Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are STAYS and RR is buddies with a couple of members.
-Songs to recommend for a new STAY: Obv Gods Menu and Thunderous, also Megaverse, Venom, Miroh (my fav) Topline, Double knot, Heyday (made for a tv dance comp show) and Side effects (really speaks to me on a personal level).
-Oh and STEP OUT is their official group greeting. Hope this helps 🖤
Stray kids proved their vocal strength on their appearance of their legendary kingdom performances battles where they were incredible. At first I wasn’t a fan of the auto tune parts but since knowing they truly sound the same live the autotune is doesn’t bother me as much since I know they are still just as talented. Also hyunjin didn’t perform in the legendary kingdom performances except for the first introduction battle, but they are still so worth watching if you haven’t watched their performances there yet. Also I seen them like at the Kia forum in 2022 and it was SO EPIC. I went alone but I was 22 and wanted to see them so I went,and it was so fun!!
Ryan Reynalds became a Stay after they did a dead pool themed performance. Both Bang Chan and Felix are Austrailian so they struck up an easy professional relationship!!!
sttray kids the song is a constant audio and visual call out to damn near every music video they've ever made. without having a very deep knowledge of their ography, a lot goes over your head, and the magic with it.
Exactly
YESS THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! (we need more kpop reactions pls lol)
can you react to there song Slash, I think you will love it
Just found your channel.
I feel like if any more technicalities was added to “Straykids”, then the simplicity in it would have been long. It's meant to be sincere and simple, in contrast to how tough their journey of 7 years have been.
So, the thing about “Stray Kids” the song, is that it’s a tribute track. The whole video, as well as the lyrics, bring back to the start of their careers, in 2017, when the kind of success they have now was kind of unthinkable (to this day, they’re less popular in Korea than they are in the rest of the world, even though they are gaining recognition in the motherland too). Visually, choreo would be fairly meaningless, because the focus is on the recreation of old scenes from previous videos, giving a nostalgic, look-how-far-we-went vibe, while base-wise, a more complex or louder or richer background would probably take away from the importance of the lyrics, that cite many of their past tracks (e.g. Hellevator, Lonely St. etc.) and also hint at their future since shortly after, I think, Ate came out, they also made public that they renewed the contract with their company, confirming that at least for another 7 years Stray Kids won’t have a “last step out” ❤. Being completely new to your channel, I don’t know your taste, but I seem to understand that you prefer songs more like God’s Menu and Chk Chk Boom, and among all the new songs this one is probably the farthest from your liking 😆 someone in the comments suggested Slash, so awesome!, which could be closer to your preference, and I’d also say JJAM! Hope you get to listen to them, have fun!
Chk chk boom was for the deadpool movie. Thats why, ryan and wolverine did cameo..plus..ryan is friends and a big fan of stray kids..they got interviewed by sk too..😄you may like to react to that too..
Yea Nahh - Minor correction - Stray Kids 'SLASH' Lyrics (Deadpool & Wolverine OST) : th-cam.com/video/dhj4fK24jnM/w-d-xo.html
YESS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Chk Chk Boom is definitely one of my top 3 favorite songs on the album! You should definitely check out the rest of the album!
Please react to Zayn’s new album “Room Under The Stairs” it’s an amazing work of art that he’s been working on for the past 6 years. It’s raw, real, and personal & Zayn really put his soul into it. Thank you!
Yes yes yes, would love a Zayn reaction! Room Under the Stairs is really an incredible album!
SKZ are professionals after years - they need two to four days to finish one choreo.
Could you react to Zayn, Room Under the Stairs (z sides). Would love to hear your thoughts 🙏
Yess!
You missd Jjam! You'll love it & the dance practice
There's no need for production acrobatics for song stray kids because it's a sentimental anthem. Only STAYs will get that with this track it's more about their journey.
I’m not sure how much of SKZ vast discography you’ve heard but it doesn’t seem like enough. It seems a bit presumptuous for you to say that the song, Stray Kids, should be like this or that when you don’t know enough to know it’s about their history and is an anthem for Stay. Of course, you have preferences in music styles etc, but to opine that artists should make their music differently???!!
Thats what I’m saying, that alone made it very obvious that he probably hasn’t gotten INTO Stray Kids.
@@seung.berry.M I feel some reactors just love to hear themselves talk, showing off what they consider their “ superior knowledge “😜🤷🏽♀️
@@n2sunset right, reacting should be you REACTING not saying what should and shouldn’t be😭 You don’t know them and their music when you’re a new fan, be open to new things. Don’t expect the same things from people
literally the first things i noticed about them (before i even heard a song) i watched an interview and noticed …why do they all sound australian slightly? legit could tell felix and bang chan were fr fr Australian but the Korean ones i noticed their “english” accents were Australian!!!!
Felix and Bang Chan taught them for sure 😄
Hi. Thanks for reacting. This album was designed with the intent to be more universal globally, so they toned down a lot of their normal chaos and hard erratic beats. Also you need you watch live performances to accurately judge their vocals.
wow so happy lol (refer to my comment on the last video i watched) aka the first stray kids vid you made
I found your channel and I love that you get into depth regarding SKZ ❤😂FOLLOWING I also Love Love Love FELIX
Stray kids are so cool. They probably have the most control over their music than anyone else in the K-pop industry. A couple of songs I recommend are: Any, Get Lit, Super Bowl (it’s English but there’s no MV), Super Board, Hall of Fame, and Victory Song
These songs are probably not gonna be as recommended but they’re all such bangers ❤
“They also have Felix.” That’s one of the best reasons to Stan stray kids, even stray kids themselves answered the question of “why should I Stan stray kids” with “we have Felix” 😂😂😂
Oh, and Ryan and bangchan are good friends and Ryan is a stay especially after their Deadpool themed performance “God’s Dududu”. It’s a mashup of their song God’s Menu and Blackpick’s song DUDDUDU with so other lyrics and lines added in. ❤
You don't know it yet, but Changbin is your 2nd favourite after Felix 😅 You have such happy reactions to his raps, and i relate.
Felix is part of the danceracha along with hyunjin n lee knowww ❤
Stray Kids - это песня-ностальгия, гимн всей истории этой группы, она и должна быть такой как они ее записали. В видео на эту песню столько теплых воспоминаний для фанатов группы. Обожаю все 3 песни, на которую вы дали реакции и спасибо вам большое за вашу реакцию и любовь к Stray Kids ♥️
Listen to lalalala, domino, megaverse, and thunderous by stray kids
Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016......maybe ull like.
Hey thank u sm for reacting to them again💜 i would love if you can react to their rock-star and 5-star recording sessions i think you would love to see how 3RACHA ( bang chan, chang bin and han) works on the studio. Also bang chan the guy who was on the rooftop next felix is also australian
I’ll add it to the list! 😄
Try Phil Collins ' in the air tonight ' you'll never think of drums without thinking of this song.
Seriously, check out Thunderous, and the dance practices for Domino and Easy.
You gotta watch the JJAM MV! It has choreo :)
I saw them live at Hyde park was amazing was such a high
Im loving your reactions ❤I'd love if you react to Zayn's new album Room Under The Stairs. It's his most personal and my fav this year ❤🙏
You probably wont see this... but I'll write it anyway. Okay. My time has come. I've watched all your SKZ reactions videos (no one else in my life likes kpop, rxn videos are all i have to share the joy) and i really need to suggest these cause i feel like theyre underrated!
I dont know if you like rap, but im a Huge rap fan, so please react to Stray Kid's more rap focused music😭:
*Muddy Water* -- Old school hiphop flow, a song talking about fake people (the muddy waters cause you can see the surface but not whats beneath). The rap in this song is so sick, made me crown skz as the rap kings of kpop. (I grew up on Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Kendrick and J.Cole, i like a old school flow, dont shoot me)
*Item* -- SO UNDERRATED! This song has the sickest beat and rap! It has a gaming concept (the members love video games) so even the beat has gaming sound effects in it. They are describing the music industry as a game and they're killing it. An Item is a beneficial thing you gain in games, like the hoover board in subway surfers? So they keep getting items. Like pacman.
*3Racha* -- WHERE DO I START?!? In this song, you'll get to see 3Racha (the rap and production team) really shine, Changbin, Han and Chan killed it ridiculously.
*Topline* -- PLEASE! This song.. the music video.. the rap!! Here they speak anout how they're the topline of kpop and everyone looks up at them (purr).
Next. The FUN Stray Kids Songs!
*Christmas Evel* -- A song where they complain about Christmas and winter and how overrated both are😂 (they're really just in a bad mood cause Santa is in hospital and they gotta work to fill in for him)
*Cheese* -- Here they talk to haters who mock their music and include all the songs haters mocked in this one song 😂🔥 And they say Cheese to tell the haters to smile and lighten up a little, songs dont always have to be serious.
*JJAM* -- They describe their music as an addictive jam (song) which they make. They use the word Jam in different ways, Jam (song), jam (dance), jam(for your toast) and create a concept where this jam is so addictive, its a drug and it makes you jam to it.
Deep songs😢❤
*Lonely St.* -- Bro, i love this song so much... the chorus makes me tear up.
*Winter Falls* --😭😭😭😭😭😭 heartbreak... pain... winter😭💔
*Silent Cry* -- this song sounds hype, but i promise it's sad💀
"Not trying to sell these headphones"
Me, buying the headphones: well, could've fooled me... lmao
(Will I be re-listening to all of SKZ discography with them just to get the full, detailed, experience? Yes. I will.)
Enjoy!!
Stray kids whuu❤
You need to listen to "Wolf Totem" by Hu, a Mongolian metal band.
What if I tell u that Felix is part of Danceracha? He's like, one of the main dancers lol

I really hope you’d check out “JJAM” too 🫶
I would love for you to react to The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) by Ren!! It has been a while since your last Ren reaction. I really enjoyed them ny the way.
Isaac you should listen to Stray kids ATE , stray kids have new songs there that they just came out like JJAM and Mountains and stray kids (basically stray kids) , but with ATEEZ you should listen to ATEEZ X BE:FIRST called Hush hush , BE:FIRST is a Japanese Boy Band
You need to check out JJAM
Can I get Zayn reactions?? 🥰 especially from his latest album Room Under The Stairs it's so good 😭
Checked through your videos, really sad this was the only SKZ video 😢
