Group Stray Kids is showcasing their limitless musical world with their new digital single ‘Mixtape: dominATE’ to celebrate their 7th debut anniversary.

Stray Kids will release their first work of 2025, ‘Mixtape: dominATE’, on March 21st at 1 PM (00:00 AM EST). Ahead of this, their agency JYP Entertainment revealed the new album‘s tracklist and online cover for the first time on their official SNS channel at 11 PM on the 12th.

The images convey a mysterious yet intense energy with the mixture of various colors. Graphic icons that visually express specific elements of each song and logos in different font types stimulate curiosity about the atmosphere and genre of the five tracks included in this digital single.

‘Mixtape : dominATE’ includes the title track ‘GIANT (Korean Ver.)’, ‘Burnin’ Tires (Changbin & I.N)’, ‘Truman (Han & Felix)’, ‘ESCAPE (Bang Chan & Hyunjin)’, and ‘CINEMA (Lee Know & Seungmin)’.

The Korean version of the title song ‘GIANT’ from the second full-length album ‘GIANT’, which was released in Japan last November and gained popularity by dominating the local major album rankings, is gaining much popularity, while unit songs with new member combinations are garnering attention. Changbin & I.N, who will create a harmony of powerful rap and sweet vocals, Han & Felix, who will show an intense rap style that has never been shown before with their voices of different pitches, Bang Chan & Hyunjin, who will stand out with a more mature and sensual mood following their track ‘Obsessed (Bang Chan, Hyunjin)’ from their regular album ‘NOEASY’, and Lee Know & Seungmin, who make us anticipate the harmony of the two sweet vocals and the upgraded charm of the vocalists, are all expected to bring fresh musical synergy to each unit.

Stray Kids will be performing these unit songs for the first time on their world tour ‘Stray Kids World Tour’, which will be held in 22 regions across Latin America, North America, Japan, and Europe starting in late March with a total of 34 large-scale stadium concerts.

Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N participated in the writing of each unit song and decorated their credits. All members of Stray Kids, including the group’s producing team 3RACHA, participate in the song production for each album, and through new songs created directly by the group‘s ‘self-producing group’, they are showcasing the diverse and infinite possibilities of the ‘Stray Kids’ genre.

Stray Kids will be celebrating their 7th debut anniversary on the 25th. Their digital single ‘Mixtape: dominATE’, which will be released four days before the anniversary, is expected to be a meaningful gift to STAY (fandom name: STAY) around the world.
