From the name of the song, the two new songs with opposite atmospheres gave listeners a feeling that they would convey a double charm to listeners.

The witty interpretation of Christmas seen from a different point of view, such as "Climbing up the chimney on tiptoe" and "Today is a special day, no one can steal it, so the shadows attack me, let me sing a Christmas song" increased the level of immersion. The funky, hip-hop twist of the sound with a year-end atmosphere doubled Stray Kids' cheerful energy. Another title song, 'Winter Falls', is an attractive song with a guitar melody and warm melody that contrasts with the lyrical lyrics, and you can feel the faint and lyrical atmosphere.


Here, the new song '24 to 25' and the English version of the song 'DOMINO' from the regular 2nd album 'NOEASY' (Noisy) are included. 'DOMINO (English Ver.)' is a reinterpretation of the confidence and aspirations of rapper Junoflo along with Bang Chan and Felix, 'If you move once, everyone will follow' with English lyrics.

The new single also boasts musical growth as 3RACHA is listed on all song credits. In addition, the perfection was improved by cooperating with leading domestic and foreign writers such as earattack and HotSauce.

After winning the final title of Mnet's 'Kingdom: Legendary War' in June of this year, the regular 2nd album 'NOEASY' released in August and the title song 'Singer' achieved the highest score in various indicators and achieved a 'career high'. In October, the cumulative shipments of Gaon Chart exceeded 1.27 million copies and became a 'Million Selling Artist' after 3 years of debut, firmly establishing itself as a 'K-pop 4th generation leader'.

“This is a hip-hop track that tells the story of Stray Kids, who have transformed into mischievous bad guys. Please enjoy the witty lyrics that look at Christmas from a different perspective, and our own freewheeling and unique energy. It has a different charm from the calm music that plays on Christmas, so I hope you like it a lot.”

[Stray Kids' Comment]
“This is a song that contains the message that we want to spend the time going from December 24th to the 25th, and many people who listen to this song made it with the hope that this Christmas will be sweet and warm. The gentle guitar sound, our voice, and the magnificent track add a cozy atmosphere. With the lyrics 'STAY for Christmas', I expressed the meaning of wanting to be together and the meaning of a Christmas song for STAY.”

3. Winter Falls *Title
[Stray Kids' Comment]
“This is the story of a person who tries hard to erase the complicated thoughts that come to mind when winter comes, the season to organize the year. Like the lyric "Winter Falls, the falling snow is cleaner than anything else, Falls, I'll erase everything you still have left of me", it expresses lyrical and vague emotions, and the rhythmic and warm melody is attractive. I hope it becomes a song that can warm you in the cold winter.”

Description (Original):

Stray Kids, 2021 홀리데이 스페셜 싱글 'Christmas EveL' 발매! 더블 타이틀곡으로 매력도 두 배!

- “특별한 연말 맞이” 싱글 'Christmas EveL', 팬 향한 크리스마스 악동들의 깜짝 선물!
- 2021 프로젝트 공약 릴레이 실현 중! 시즌송으로 글로벌 STAY 만족도 채운다!
- '글로벌 대세' Stray Kids의 시즌송 'Christmas EveL' & 'Winter Falls', 크리스마스 악동들의 겨울 신곡!


Stray Kids가 2021년 11월 29일 홀리데이 스페셜 싱글 'Christmas EveL'을 발표한다.

Stray Kids는 'Christmas Eve'에 알파벳 'L'을 더한 새 싱글명 'Christmas EveL'을 통해 매 앨범마다 기존 문법의 틀을 넘어 새로운 단어로 세상과 소통해온 그룹만의 독창적인 화법을 이어간다. '크리스마스의 악동'을 테마로 삼아 크리스마스의 깜짝 선물 같은 스페셜 싱글로 국내외 팬들을 찾아간다.

올해 1월 1일 선보인 영상 'Stray Kids "STEP OUT 2021"'에서 첫 공식 팬미팅, 자체 리얼리티, 정규 2집, 시즌 송, 컬래버레이션, 팝업스토어 등 그룹의 포부와 계획을 예고했고 팬미팅 개최를 시작으로 자체 리얼리티 'SKZ CODE', 글로벌 컬래버레이션 등 공약을 순차적으로 지켜가며 팬 사랑을 실현했다. 기세를 이어 시즌송 'Christmas EveL'을 발표하고 국내외 팬들의 응원에 화답한다.

홀리데이 스페셜 싱글 'Christmas EveL'에는 'Christmas EveL'과 'Winter Falls'(윈터 폴스)가 더블 타이틀곡으로 자리했다. 곡명부터 서로 상반된 분위기를 풍기는 두 신곡이 듣는 이들에게 두 배의 매력을 전할 것으로 예감케 했다. 'Christmas EveL'은 팀 내 프로듀싱 그룹 3RACHA가 작사, 작곡을 맡아 재치 넘치는 Stray Kids만의 매력을 십분 살렸다. 색다른 시선에서 바라본 크리스마스를 위트 있게 풀어낸 가사 "살금살금 까치발 굴뚝 위로 올라가", "오늘은 특별한 날 그 누구도 훔칠 수 없어 그림자들이 날 덮쳐 Let me sing a Christmas song" 등으로 몰입도를 높였다. 연말 분위기가 느껴지는 사운드를 펑키하고 힙합스럽게 비틀어 Stray Kids만의 쾌활한 에너지를 배가했다. 또 다른 타이틀곡 'Winter Falls'(윈터 폴스)는 서정적인 가사와 대비되는 기타 선율과 따뜻한 멜로디가 매력적인 곡으로, 아련하고 서정적인 분위기를 느낄 수 있다.


여기에 신곡 '24 to 25'와 정규 2집 'NOEASY'(노이지) 수록곡 'DOMINO'(도미노)의 영어 버전 음원이 담겼다. 'DOMINO (English Ver.)'은 방찬, 필릭스와 함께 래퍼 주노플로(Junoflo)가 힘을 합쳐 '한번 까딱하면 모두가 따라온다'는 자신감과 포부를 영어 가사로 재해석했다.

새 싱글 역시 3RACHA가 전곡 크레디트에 이름을 올리며 음악적 성장세를 자랑한다. 이외에 earattack, HotSauce 등 국내외 유수의 작가진과 의기투합해 완성도를 높였다.

Stray Kids는 지난해 발매한 첫 정규 앨범 'GO生'과 정규 1집 리패키지 앨범 'IN生'을 통해 중독성 강한 음악 '神메뉴', 'Back Door'를 선보이며 '마라맛 장르 음악' 개척자의 영역을 공고히 하고 '차세대 K팝 대표 그룹'으로 우뚝 섰다. 올해 6월 Mnet '킹덤 : 레전더리 워' 최종 우승 이후 8월에 발표한 정규 2집 'NOEASY'(노이지)와 타이틀곡 '소리꾼'으로 각종 지표에서 최고 성적을 거두며 '커리어 하이'를 이뤘다. 지난 10월에는 가온차트 누적 출고량 127만 장을 돌파하고 데뷔 3년 만에 '밀리언셀링 아티스트'에 등극, 'K팝 4세대 선두주자'로 확실하게 자리매김했다.

작사, 작곡, 편곡은 물론 강렬한 퍼포먼스와 탄탄한 보컬과 랩 실력으로 팀의 진가를 입증하고 있는 이들이 팬들과 함께한 약속을 지키고 포근함이 깃든 새 싱글로 2021 연말을 따뜻하게 물들인다.

[Stray Kids' Comment]
“장난스러운 악동들로 변신한 Stray Kids가 생각하는 크리스마스를 힙합스럽게 풀어낸 트랙입니다. 크리스마스를 다른 관점에서 바라본 재치 만점 가사와 자유분방하고 개성 넘치는 저희 만의 에너지를 즐겨주세요. 크리스마스에 흘러나오는 잔잔한 분위기의 음악과는 또 다른 매력이 있으니 많이 좋아해 주셨으면 좋겠어요”

2. 24 to 25
[Stray Kids' Comment]
“12월 24일에서 25일로 넘어가는 시간을 같이 보내고 싶다는 메시지를 담은 곡으로, 이 노래를 들으시는 많은 분들이 이번 크리스마스가 달달하고 따뜻하길 바라는 마음으로 만들었습니다. 잔잔한 기타 사운드와 저희의 목소리 그리고 웅장한 트랙이 더해져 아늑한 분위기를 선사해요. 가사 'STAY for Christmas'로 함께 있어 달라는 뜻과 STAY를 위한 크리스마스 곡이라는 의미를 함께 표현했어요”

3. Winter Falls *Title
[Stray Kids' Comment]
“한 해를 정리하는 계절인 겨울이 찾아오면 떠오르는 복잡한 생각들을 하얀 눈과 함께 애써 지우려고 노력하는 한 사람의 이야기입니다. 가사 "Winter Falls 떨어진다 눈이 그 어떤 것보다 깨끗하게 Falls 아직 내게 남은 네 모든 걸 다 지워볼게"처럼 서정적이고 아련한 감성을 풀어냈고 리드미컬하면서 따뜻한 멜로디가 매력적이에요. 시린 겨울에 온기가 될 수 있는 노래가 되길 바랍니다”
