Group Stray Kids continues their global sprint with their new digital single "RUN IT."
Stray Kids released their new digital single "RUN IT" on various online music sites today, June 24, at 1 PM KST. "RUN IT" is a new song released about nine months after the "SKZ IT TAPE" project they dropped last year. The group's in-house producing team, 3RACHA (BANG CHAN, CHANGBIN, and HAN), participated in the production, capturing Stray Kids' unique musical color.
The new song melts in the confidence and challenging spirit of the group, who became the first artists in the world to top the US Billboard's main album chart, the Billboard 200, with eight consecutive albums, and grew into headliners for major global festivals. Expressing the energy of running relentlessly toward victory, the track is expected to establish itself as Stray Kids' new anthem.
It delivers an intense sense of immersion by adding world beat rhythms to a grand sound based on brass sounds and marching drums. It embodies the massive energy of Stray Kids as they continuously expand toward the global stage through music.
The teaser video, released on June 22 ahead of the launch, also received an enthusiastic response. Sensory directing using intense visuals and black-and-white contrast, combined with a cinematic narrative, raised the expectations of global fans.
Stray Kids will embark on their new world tour, 'Stray Kids World Tour <RUN IT>,' which shares its name with the new song, starting this July. Continuing the heat of their previous world tour 'dominATE,' which was held last year with 56 shows across 35 regions, this tour will kick off with five performances at the KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on July 25, 26, 29, and August 1 and 2.
Afterward, they will meet global fans by touring major Asian cities, including Tokyo National Stadium in Japan, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, and Singapore. In particular, Tokyo National Stadium is drawing attention as Stray Kids becomes the first overseas male artist to hold a solo concert at the venue.
In addition, Stray Kids will release their new mini-album 'THIS & THAT' on August 7. This album is the first record Stray Kids will present in 2026, and the new song 'RUN IT' is set to be officially included.
