Stray Kids members Bang Chan and Hyunjin sing about their desire to escape reality in their new unit song.
Stray Kids will release their digital single 'Mixtape: dominATE' on the 21st. Ahead of this, JYP Entertainment is gradually opening the signature teasing content 'UNVEIL: TRACK' to introduce the new album's tracks on their official SNS channels. On the afternoon of the 17th, the third teaser video 'ESCAPE (Bang Chan & Hyunjin)' was unveiled.
On a chilly night with visible breath, Bang Chan and Hyunjin find themselves in a world turned to ash. They exhibit instinctual behavior by running and kicking up dust, or laughing widely toward the void, while also following a small fish swimming freely in a fishbowl with mournful eyes. The two are captured together, lounging on a bed with feathers sticking out, playing around, and leaning on each other like they’re resting.
'ESCAPE (Bang Chan & Hyunjin)' is an alternative R&B track that harmonizes dreamy electric guitar with captivating reggae rhythms. Bang Chan and Hyunjin participated in the songwriting, completing dramatic lyrics like "Escape from reality, come with me" and "Let’s run away from the world. Don’t you love the sound of silence? It’s all we need oh oh oh."
Having previously showcased their sexy and wild charm through the track 'Obsessed (Bang Chan, Hyunjin)' from their 2021 second studio album 'NOEASY', the duo emanates a more mature and sophisticated mood in their new song. Viewers can expect to see the attractive characters that the two, who displayed strong gazes and intense acting that heightened viewer immersion in the teaser, will bring to life.
Stray Kids are already garnering enthusiastic responses from global fans for this digital single, which celebrates their 7th debut anniversary on the 25th. The 'UNVEIL: TRACK' videos for 'Burnin’ Tires (Changbin & I.N)' and 'Truman (Han & Felix)', released on the 15th and 16th respectively, ranked 3rd and 4th in worldwide trending music videos as of the afternoon of the 17th. They made it into the rising video rankings in countries such as the United States, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Australia, reaffirming their worldwide popularity.
Stray Kids' first release of 2025, 'Mixtape: dominATE', will be available for listening on various online music sites at 1 p.m. on the 21st (midnight Eastern Standard Time).
