Stray Kids are officially back. On November 21, the group released SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’, featuring double title tracks “Do It” and “신선놀음 (DIVINE)”, marking their fastest comeback yet—just three months after their record-breaking album KARMA.
The five-track project opens the group’s new music series SKZ IT TAPE, described as a collection that captures Stray Kids’ hottest, most confident moments — their “This is it!” energy. As always, all songs were written and produced by 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han).
Stray Kids explain that SKZ IT TAPE continues the tradition of their special music series like Mixtape Project and HIPTAPE, giving fans a different flavor from regular albums. The members say the goal is to show “new challenges, new genres, and deeper color than before.”
The double title tracks highlight two sides of the group:
“Do It” — a confident anthem about acting boldly without hesitation.
“DIVINE” — a fresh hip-hop track embodying what they call “NEW POP”, matched with the now-viral “modern sage” visual concept.
The mystical, elegant teaser visuals sparked huge reactions from fans. Han revealed that once they made “DIVINE,” the idea naturally evolved into portraying “modern-day sages” rather than traditional depictions. Members picked Bang Chan, Seungmin, and even all eight members as the best fit for the concept.
Despite a packed year — a massive 56-show world tour and historic chart achievements — 3RACHA worked continuously on the album across different countries, hotels, and schedules.
Bang Chan said their biggest driving force is always Stray Kids and STAY, while Changbin emphasized finding new ways to express SKZ’s identity. Han shared that even in busy moments, “there was always time somewhere,” and this album came together in a natural, relaxed way.
2025 has been one of the group's biggest years yet:
Their World Tour spanned 35 regions.
They became the first act in Billboard 200’s 70-year history to enter at No. 1 seven consecutive times.
They achieved their first Korean stadium concerts, fulfilling long-time dreams.
Members all chose moments from the world tour as their personal “This is it!” memories.
As the year wraps up, Stray Kids hope DO IT becomes a powerful finale to an extraordinary year. They also offered STAYs their own “end-of-year To-Do List”:
“Stay healthy,”
“Try something without hesitation,”
“Go shopping and eat delicious food,”
“Make a Christmas tree,”
“Enjoy warm moments with people you love.”
Finally, the group shared heartfelt thanks to fans worldwide for a year filled with unprecedented support:
“We’ll enter 2026 proudly together with STAY.” — Bang Chan
“You made my 26 shine. Thank you.” — Seungmin
“We’ll keep working hard so the love you give never goes to waste.” — Han
With SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’ now out, Stray Kids kick off their final 2025 chapter — and fans are ready to dive in.
