Stray Kids sat down with Deezer for an exclusive interview titled “Stray Kids – DO IT: The Album, The Meaning & The Aesthetic,” giving fans a deeper look into the creative vision behind their newest release.
The members explained that the phrase “Do It” is a long-time part of Stray Kids’ identity — something they’ve said to themselves countless times throughout their careers.
“Whether it’s schedules or performances, we always end up asking, ‘Can we do it?’” Bang Chan shared. “But in the end, we always do it.”
Han described the title track as the most mature sound the group has explored so far, noting that this comeback showcases a polished and grown Stray Kids that feels different from previous eras.
Felix revealed his personal attachment to the B-side “Holiday,” calling it relaxing and comforting, while the members also highlighted the album’s dual mood: mysterious and powerful, yet warm and uplifting.
Hyunjin explained that the group wanted to portray an overwhelming, confident atmosphere, delivering the message:
“Act boldly. Be sure of yourself. Move without hesitation.”
Lee Know added that he hopes listeners feel an instant internal groove when they hear the song:
“That feeling where your body starts moving on its own… and when you don’t feel like doing something, the song gives you that push — that ‘just do it’ mindset.”
Toward the end of the interview, the members offered advice to their past selves.
“I want to tell myself, ‘You did well. You made the right choices,’” Changbin said. “Because everything I did led me here.”
“Just do it,” another member echoed. “Don’t hesitate — but think when you need to.”
With Stray Kids embracing maturity, confidence, and bold creativity, DO IT stands as one of the group’s most intentional and message-driven releases yet.
