[@IrieStay]

Stray kids write and produce 99.5% of their music. You can the album intros for their last 2 albums; 5 STAR and Rock Star to see their thought process going into each song on the albums and snippets of the recording sessions directed by 3RACHA (the main production team in the group). As for more personal songs or ballads there are quite a few in their discography for example 'Sorry I Love You', Secret Secret, Winter Falls, Cover Me, Levanter.

[@Tomtom12654]

I’d also add Voices, Hellavator, and My Pace to that list for their message and depth (but not necessarily ballads)

SKZ are the founders of the third type of K-Pop called Mala-Tang (Mala-Taste) after the release of the hit "God's menu". Before SKZ, there were two main directions in K-Pop: Sweet and Salty. "Mala" means something like "pleasant spice", "Tang" literally means "soup".

[@HauntinglyAsh]

I am a HUGE bts fan and only very recently looked into stray kids and now I’m OBSESSED. Stray Kids is truly the first group I’ve listened to that I agree when ppl say they aren’t “kpop”. Straykids is practically their own genre..I listen to all kinds of music and I’ve just never heard anything like them. They really are “special” 😂 And I honestly think Bangchan has a HUGE role into why they are so unique. The music they make and produce is just on another level.

Stray Kids write and produce 99% of their music. Three of their members Changbin (0:52), Bang Chan (1:09), and Han (2:04) are their producing unit 3RACHA which was the name of their hip-hop group before they debuted in Stray Kids. Bang Chan is the 3 most credited K-pop artist of all time with over 180 song credits with all the songs being released in the last 5/6 years. The two above him are Ravi from Vixx at #1 and RM at #2 making him the youngest of the top 3 as he is only 26 (a little over a month younger than the youngest BTS member Jungkook). They are the top 3 most credited 4th gen K-pop artists (BTS is 3rd Gen). Bang Chan also is the person that arranges almost all of their music. Also one of their members Lee Know (1:46) was actually a back up dancer for BTS while they were on tour before debuting as a member of Stray Kids. Unlike other groups that have fixed position as rappers, vocalists, and dancers all 8 of them can do all positions well but tend to be known for one aspect more than the others. 3Racha is the producing/rap unit, DanceRacha is the dance unit and includes Lee Know, Hyunjin (1:34), and Felix (The deep voice guy), and VocalRacha which are the two youngest members Seungmin (1:18) and I.N/ Jeongin (1:38). As for more depth you'll have to look more at their B-side tracks rather than their Title tracks though some title tracks with some amazing depth are Hellevator, I am You, and Levanter. Some amazing B-sides are Grow Up, Ex, Silent Cry, Sorry I Love You, Lonely St., Collision, Cover Me and Leave. They also have some incredible Japanese releases like Scars, DLMLU, Slump, and Social Path. I also recommend checking out Neverending Story which is a song they made for a K-drama soundtrack. But you can also find solo stuff and unit songs that have incredible depth from their SKZ-Replay which is made up of 8 solo songs and several of their solo/unit songs from SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player. Not all of SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player songs were released on SKZ-Replay and they are constantly creating more for both of those. Some of my favorites are Volcano by Han, Streetlight by Changbin, Hate to Admit by Bang Chan, Contradicting by Hyunjin, Deep End by Felix, Stars and Raindrops by Seungmin, Alien by Han, Because by Changbin and Felix, Piece by Changbin and Seungmin, and Close by Han.

As for deep songs: Hellevator, Mirror, Voices, Grow Up, Insomnia, I am You, Levanter, Lonely Street, Leave, Cover Me, Phobia, Ex, Scars, Slump, etc etc etc. there’s a lot Solos/duets/units: Bangchan: I hate to admit Lee Know: Limbo Changbin: Streetlight Hyunjin: Lost Star, contradicting Han: alien, volcano, miserable, happy, I got it Felix: Deep end Seungmin: Hold On, Stars and Raindrops I.N: Hug me, Maknae on Top Han + Lee Know: want so bad Bangchan + I.N: Black Hole Hyunjin+ I.N: untitled Changbin + Felix: Because Changbin + Seungmin: Piece of a Puzzle There are lots of unit songs, but other standouts are Waiting for Us, Muddy Water, Red Lights, Surfin’, Gone Away, Snain, 3racha, Taste, Can’t Stop. Yeah… they have a 190+ song discography, and they write pretty much everything. Produce most of it,l and arrange some of it. I would pick an album and do a whole listen.

[@einSky]

Aa a reviewer, Lyricist, music producer, or whatever, to check "depth" in Stray Kids is a whole thing. The deal is to know what they're saying in an intricate korean language Level. Saying "depth" as in more introspective songs like ballads / chill songs, they have some. But their core is a hip rop prodution unit, so you'll see the kind of depth these guys can bring in their lyrics... it's a whole other level, really. They have a lot of puzzly jokes, puns, wordplay in general, they're really creative and genius in a way. I'm always surprised by them since I've started listening to kpop. Stray Kids brought me the pure musical genius juice in all areas: hype, balad, visual, dance, lyrics. Artistically they're all aces.

[@vaishalinakti1635]

[@darkryooo]

Thank you to Army who suggested Stray Kids! However, in *no* way are these boys similar to BTS. The more you listen and follow them, you'll realize how unique they truly are. There is a song for every person, because they experiment with so many different styles and genres. They refuse to change, even though they get a lot of opposition in that regard. They remain humble and consistent; I can truly say they have an almost no-skip discography.

[@rainbowgoth1566]

I really dislike when people automatically compare any boy kpop group to BTS. BTS was not the first kpop group and while they may be more known than others, to automatically compare every group to them is sort of irritating, like Felix being the RM of Stray Kids... Personally, I never got much into BTS. My daughter introduced me to kpop but my Playlist is kpop, Slipknot, In This Moment, Marilyn Manson, etc. 😂 But Stray Kids, Ateez, NCT127, and Xikers are my main, but the fandoms are toxic and each group may have influences, but comparing groups to BTS is just not right, IMO. Then again, I am older and have old school thinking.

[@elizabethwood5658]

Agreed. I think if you're going to compare groups I think Stray Kids and Ateez are more similar, though still have pretty distinct sounds.

[@elizabethwood5658]

​@@rainbowgoth1566I think you just described my playlist (though I'm trying to get my daughter into kpop, not the other way around).😂. Definitely In this Moment, Pretty Little Reckless, Slipknot, Disturbed, Manson, etc in there, but mostly ATEEZ then Stray Kids, Monsta X, some Xikers, etc. My music tends towards harder stuff, so these groups definitely tick the box.

[@rainbowgoth1566]

@elizabethwood5658 lol that's funny. I'm a mosh pit Mimi. I love Ateez and their harder stuff. Also, it doesn't hurt that some of these guys are fine AF...

[@stephaniesouza1632]

For me, the only songs that are really skippable in stray kids are when they do a Japanese song and then they do a Korean version or vice versa. I usually like the original best. So if it’s not the original, I skip. So that’s basically saying no song of theirs is actually skippable to me. Lol.😂 OR if I’m really really in the mood for some of their fast paced music and one of their slow songs comes on then I skip it because I’m at the mood for megaverse or some thing. Lol but it’s not because I don’t like the song it’s just because I’m not in the mood for it but usually if I’m listening to their soft stuff and megaverse or something like that comes on I can’t skip it because I’m still obsessed with that song as well. Lol!

[@KathyD66]

I am 66 years old. I mostly listen to K-Pop. I don't really compare BTS to Stray Kids and say one is better than the other. They both have their own styles and they both excel at those styles.

[@alxndrrcn]

I wish these reactors will stop comparing them to BTS just because they are the only group they know or they are one of the biggest names right now. Know what? I WOULD LOVE FOR REACTORS TO STOP COMPARING THEM TO BTS. PERIOD. Start just listening and commenting on what you hear without having to result to ANY comparison. SKZ created their own genre because they don't want to be compared to anyone. They wanted to pave their own way and be known as STRAY KIDS, not some band following the footsteps of others. They are grateful to the groups that went before them, but they are their own name and people should acknowledge that. Comparing them to any group or singer out there is not honoring their wishes to be known as just SKZ. So, LISTEN WELL and just share your thoughts on how you feel about their music, their production (music or video) and their performance without mentioning other groups anywhere in your comment. Thank you very much.

[@AniquiladoraS4]

@@alxndrrcn totally agree, I was a bit annoyed that he kept mentioning BTS stuff like, respect to BTS as a band cause if they got where they got is cause they have to be good but both bands are not similar in absolutely nothing more than their origin being KPOP. Different genres Different visuals Different vocals and rap styles Different creative direction, production, etc Like, whoever know BTS and SKZ (and whoever doesn't too) would never relate to RM to Felix, they are probably 2 of the most different people ever in every possible way to be compared, in my opinion. I know the guy had no bad intentions so I'm not here to throw hate at the reactior but I want to totally agree with you, it would be simple better if reactors would focus on the actual band and not compare to the only one other thing they know that they think is similar but is not, cause for those who understand a bit is like comparing Taylor Swift to Slipknot. Anyway I'm grateful on the sense that some people are opening their horizons and giving a chance to different kind of music :)

[@alxndrrcn]

@@AniquiladoraS4 Right? BTS is BTS. SKZ is SKZ. No comparison should be done. He did it (RM to Felix comparison) just 'cause both boys have deep voices when, it is deeper than that. I respect RM as a rapper and individual, but Felix is so much more than his deep voice. His voice adds more color to every song and I love how 3racha makes it a point to highlight and utilize it-and utilize it well, they did. The colors of both bands' music are different, unique and good in their own way. It's like painting. Every painter have unique brush strokes and use colors very differently. That's why you step back to appreciate the whole picture and see how different every painting is. People should step back to see how different the picture SKZ is painting. Reactors should, no matter which band they are listening to, just enjoy the music and bask on the colors they are trying to paint and convey with their voices.

Maniac is actually a pretty deep song. It’s a whole thing about showing who you are not masking. God’s menu is how their discography has something for everyone. Most of stray kids songs have a double meaning if you pay attention to the lyrics. A lot of meaning is glossed over by hype but it’s still there.

I am so glad that other people have brought this up. As a Stay I am grateful for the Army’s here who are being so kind! One thing that was uncomfortable was the comparing of two very incredible groups. BTS in wonderful and they deserve the praise. So does Stray Kids. Asking which is better than the other creates unnecessary arguments between fandoms and takes away from what we’re here for. The music and the idols whom create it. There’s no comparing because they are both unique and the best in their craft.

[@rebecaprs]

Finally a reaction to Stray Kids! Loved it. They are a self produced group, 3 of them are the producing team and they are called 3RACHA (some of the most credited artists in the kpop industry), but nowadays all of the members take parts on producing and writing. Bang Chan is the leader (short red hair on Back Door), he chose the members by himself and is the one who creates their beats and most of their arrengments, he's a genius. There are a lot of behind the scenes footages of them recording, I'd recommend the ones titled 'Stray Kids [INTRO "★★★★★ (5-STAR)"] Part 3 : Recording' and '3RACHA being the geniuses behind Stray Kids'. Some less edgy songs of theirs I'd recommend are: Chill, Cover Me and Social Path (the last one is a japanese track with LiSA composed by Bang Chan and where he tells the story of his life until Stray Kids). Hope to see more!

They take you through the process of recording their latest (self-directed!) albums. 19:30 they have gone through so much music. As in the title, you watched their top songs which are all title tracks and are intense. There's a lot more depth in the other tracks of each of their albums. Since they all participate in songwriting their lyrics can get real deep. Here are some suggestions: Secret Secret Sorry I Love You Lost Me (Japanese track) Cover Me Leave

Never Ending Story ❤

[@anishkan1409]

Just to clear it up for you: 3Racha is SKZ’’s producing team, made up of 3 of their own members, Bang Chan (the leader of the group and 3Racha itself), Changbin and Han. Changbin and Han are the main rappers of the group, and whilst you’d think they only covered the rap side, they have written songs (with both the rest of 3Racha and by themselves) that are also very vocally heavy (and Han also does many of the high notes in SKZ). Bang Chan is currently the 3rd most credited K-pop artist. Let that sink in for a second because he only debuted almost 6 years ago. Chan himself has arranged most (if not all) of SKZ’s songs (but working w other producers asw). Now what about the other 5 members (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) ? Well, they’ve done some writing and producing as well. The ‘unit’ songs are when the members break off into mini groups and write a song and the products turn out amazing (Surfin, Taste, Cant’s Stop, Waiting for Us, Wow, Muddy Water, 3Racha, Gone Away, Red lights, My Universe and We Go are some examples ). The SKZ-replay album is full of the member’s solo songs (and a few duos) and they all had a hand in producing those songs themselves. And some of them have written songs for the whole group as well, FNF was Chan and Felix, Hyunjin (with Chan) wrote Cover Me and DLMLU. Seungmin wrote Novel. Felix has also helped out with English translations (Super Bowl which was originally in Korean but ended up getting released as a full Eng song and Domino (Eng Version)).

Hey man, as a Kpop multi fan for 4yrs and a BTS ARMY for 5yrs. I'll let ya know, that no kpop group is "better" than each other. People have their preferences, that's all. But we don't pit groups like that between each other. I understand you probably didn't mean anything by it. But the title will draw the anti's, for either BTS or SKZ.

[@angiee1603]

It has been my experience that there has always been competition in music, but I never saw so much toxicity in fandoms until I came to Kpop. When I was younger growing up in the USA, it was Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC. I never felt like loving one group meant you had to hate the other. I never had to declare I was a multi-stan in the US because it was just assumed you listened to multiple people. There are always rivalries, but we should be able to talk about the music and compare our favorites without fear of drawing in haters.

[@esmeraldaroestoff3900]

Yes! I love when they notice Han’s talent. Felix is my bias, but objectively Han is the most complete artist of them all, in my opinion he is the best singer of the group, even when he is presented more like a rapper.

[@anonymous.tiramisu]

@@esmeraldaroestoff3900 EXACTLY. His voice is soo good, I love the clips of him just loudly singing because he can hit every note. He is amazing at rapping, singing, dancing, face expressions and has the perfect idol stage presence. Also he looks so good, I just can't look away from him. Right, not just that. He's hilarious and lively and makes the best jokes ever. He also can get serious and talk about deep topics I relate to. I really like the lyrics je wrote. I want him to keep feeling happy and stay healthy.

[@arlene5554]

​​@@esmeraldaroestoff3900 i second this! My bias is Hyunjin but I get very happy when Han is recognized. He is very very talented and should be recognized more! It's crazy how he raps like that, but can reach high notes! I realized how good he is when I watched their survival show. I became a stay because of Hyunjin but I stayed for Hyunjin, Han, Changbin, Chan, and all of them really!

[@junhaniac]

19:30 (yes i know im late and someone else probably already commented something similar) if you mean just solo songs, they have an album on streaming services and a youtube playlist both called "skz-replay" which include original solo/duet songs and covers of other songs. if you want songs with more meaningful and deep lyrics, they have a lot of those ! these songs are in a wide range of intensity, some sounding so hype that if you never look up the lyrics, you wont know how deep the song is (ex. hellevator, social path, voices, question, silent cry). and others being very soft that it's obvious that the song is emotional (ex. cover me, fnf, mixtape oh, behind the light, grow up)

All Stray Kids music is made by themselves. They have a producing team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han)! They are so unic and talented! Their music is not typical k-pop it's more agressive. And their lyrics are realy deep (you should check b-sides of the albums).

And such truly good people that you feel like they are your best friends.

[@hehehehehe-q5z]

totally agree😂😂 lol people are triggered in the comments

[@jaeger_ren]

i laughed at your feedback after S-CLASS because they are heavily involved with producing, writing, and composing their music. 3RACHA is a subunit of SKZ that are the main producers. the rest of the group has had their hands in writing music, but these three take on a lot of projects! their stage names are BangChan, Changbin, and Han (during their underground days, they went by CB97, spearB, and J.ONE). chan specifically has the 3rd most KOMCA credits to his name. he is also the youngest, along with the ONLY 4th generation kpop idol to be featured in the top 10!

[@jaeger_ren]

also just finished the full video! i can suggest some more songs based on what you're looking for. they have the most versatile discography i, myself, have seen. i guess i can suggest which ones were most meaningful to me. "Secret Secret" is a ballad written by Han. this song made me cry the first time i heard it. they also have a one-take performance video for this song. i relate heavily with it. if you want something more recent that just hits emotionally, "Cover Me" from their latest album "ROCKSTAR" is currently my anthem! i won't overwhelm you with anything else, so these two songs mean most to me at the moment! very well-done. i love watching producers specifically react to SKZ because i can see their songwriting process differently!

[@alesiasokolaj1586]

Stray kids are self produced! Their producing subunit, 3racha, were formed before the group existed. Their ‘intro’ videos show the thought process behind the music and their recording sessions. ‘5-star intro’, ‘rock-star intro’ etc. If u wanna see more ‘depth’, then I recommend checking out their latest mini-album “rock-star” that has around 7-8 songs, or any of their albums really.

[@brionyfakatou1620]

For more of Felix’s deep voice he opens the music video for their song Megaverse with that deep rap. Personal songs: Their group’s leader Bang Chan (a.k.a. Christopher because he grew up in Australia) is one of their 3 main song writers and producers. He is the one that makes most of their beats. He has written a few songs about his obsession with making music. One is called Red Lights with fellow member Hyunjin, who is obsessed with dancing, where they talk about their obsessions like they are addictions and prisons that they sometimes wish they could be free from but also can’t live without. Another song he wrote is kind of a spoof song called Up All Night where he talks about having constant insomnia because ideas for new songs come into his head and he has to get up and work all night. (The video for that one is silly and they are dressed as vampires, but he’s talking about real things that he struggles with.

[@oliviawang2219]

Felix also has a solo called "Deep End" in SKZ Replay

[@bloodshotchutoy]

@@yamilethchavez3994 I was in the fandom at that time and for me Miroh was indeed the first hit SKZ had, not as big as God's Menu, but it was well received and helped their popularity, but I still wouldn't place it on a top 5 SKZ songs, maybe if it was a top 5 songs that were milestones breakers for them I would think of Miroh?

​@@yamilethchavez3994 Miroh got them their first award, & yes I think it gives them more public recognitions, but I think it was before they found their style, their unique sound. After God's Menu, their musics become consistent & progressed to be as you can hear now. Older listeners might still remember Miroh, but newer ones probably only know God's Menu, Backdoor, Thunderous, Maniac, Case 143, S-Class, & other newer hits.

[@anushkaagrawal1473]

If you want more from the deep voice guy, Felix, you should check out Deep End, it showcases his vocal range as it should be done in in these songs, by goving him more lines but Deep End is the best song you should consider listening to.

[@robbinsnest6163]

Stray Kids "FNF" music video is a song written after the fires that happened a while back. It's very meaningful due to the fact that the leader of the group, BangChan and deep voice Felix, are Australian. Youtiful is a sweet one I recently started listening to.

[@alinasmith5737]

Love youtiful (cant listen to it though) and it's completely in English (on of very few skz songs that are sadly). Chan just being sweet again and hopefully reaching someone who needs to hear it. I almost never cry at music but the moment the song came on I knew it was Chan and that I should make sure to brace myself.

[@lella1213]

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids. For a small example of “deeper” songs I recommend Cover Me, Secret Secret and anything else you’d like to listen to (I personally enjoy all of their music). Stray Kids are amazing producers, lyricists, singers, rappers, dancers, and artists, and they have fantastic stage presence (I saw them live). Their songs are unmistakably “Stray Kids”, and the media credited them for creating a new genre that is unique to them called “mala taste” (from the Chinese numbing soup which combines many flavors). Since they produce their own songs they like to experiment, so you will find many different genres in their music. They are also very creative, as you noticed, and I am always amazed at how innovative and prolific they are. Looking forward to more Stray Kids’ reactions.

[@wickedangel519]

I am in looove with Stray Kids they do have some good deep songs I wonder if anyone else has suggested them

[@Tristana.Keauna]

"Cover Me" off of their latest album is so beautiful. It was actually written and produced (with the assistance of their leader) by one of their dancers. Truth is though, all 8 members can do everything. For the most part SKZ is produced by 3RACHA, which was a pre-debut group they formed themselves. It was later that the rest of SKZ came in and became the Stray Kids we know. I wouldn't call it a slow song, but I find "Side Effects" to be very meaningful, and the production on it is just stellar. "FNF" is another meaningful song and was written by Bang Chan (the leader and a member of 3RACHA) and Felix (the one with the really deep voice, he names dances and raps, though he has a great singing voice as well). They wrote it after the Australian bushfires of 2019/2020. They are Korean, but both were raised in Australia (Felix was born there) and it really impacted them. I enjoyed this reaction, SKZ is just so different from anything else in KPop overall (in my very biased opinion at least haha). I subbed in the hopes that you'll dive more into it because they truly do have an impressive discography. They were initially formed in 2017 with their official debut in March of 2018. I think they have something like 17ish albums? projects? idk what you would call them, everytime you turn around they're back with something else. As a fan, it's wonderful.

[@Nope78910]

Stray Kids write, compose, and arrange all of their own music. All members participate in writing these days but main production unit is 3 of them called 3racha. They also have a very heavy hand in choreography too. LaLaLaLa and Megaverse are hard new ones. Venom and Thunderous are also harder older ones that are fairly well known. Cover Me and Leave are off the latest album and are slower, vocal, and personal. Cover Me will blow you away. Social Path brings in the Rock category to the newest album. If you want to hear these members on their own, check out Skz-Replay.

[@lirochka1953]

they do have some behind the scenes of their album making (recording, producing, dance practicing), they are usually titled stray kids intro, we also see them producing in their other content, one of the members (bangchan) made a song on a live even

That beat switch at towards the end of S-Class gets me every time

[@temeculahulamom]

With almost 200 tracks, Stray Kids have just about something for everyone. Bang Chan, their leader, and 2 other members, Han and Changbin are the producing unit and have a hand in almost 99% of their tracks and beats. Not bad for a bunch of guys who avg 25 years old. They can all sing, dance, rap, and write music. It's refreshing that their company lets them make most of their creative choices. As someone who appreciates all music and has walked this planet for over 5 decades, Stray Kids is everything for me. We don't love comparisons. Apples and oranges. BTS will always have my respect, but Stray Kids is my now. Deep voice guy is Felix our sunshine. He has Deep End, his solo song on SKZ Replay released in 2022.

[@worrynot_Faysgotyou]

the guys with the deep voice is called Felix and he's done a song with one the members as in a duo called ''because'' and for the behind the scenes, you can check them out just by typing the name of the song and behind the scenes. They film the entire process of filming their MVs.

[@dmwilson3606]

Thank you for checking out Stray Kids. I'm sure you've been sent so many requests and told how they are self produced and all that great stuff. If you really get into their music, you'll start to realize that even their hype stuff has more meaning than you might give credit for on first pass. That said, every album they do an intro video to explain their music and it can some some of the recording process too. MVs have behind the scenes and their latest album's title track had a little documentary style video done on its production. Chan, the leader and the guy who creates the beats, for a few years did weekly lives where he also explained their music so depending on what your interested in, there is lots of content. These guys are stylistic different from BTS and don't see themselves as making music for everyone but rather prefer to focus on making what they love and telling the stories they want to tell and doing it at their own pace. It think that is why fans love them. Thanks again!

im a STAY and there's 8 members in Stray Kids (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N/ Jeongin) but was 9 before Kim Woojin left. They dont have producers they write and produce their music themselves (apart from HEYDAY) and 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) are the main production team and for some albums like ROCK-STAR and 5-STAR you can see them record and produce their music. They have loadss of personal songs including some recent ones like Stray Kids, Runners etc but some less recent ones include Hellevator, NOT!, I Am Who, 19, Young Wings, Sunshine, SLUMP, Voices, My Pace, Sorry I Love You, Secret Secret, Cover Me, i hate to admit, Neverending Story , Scars, Deep End and like loads more. AND WISH ALL THE BEST FOR LEE KNOW WE WILL MISS YOU SM. SARANGHAEO LEE LEE KNOW😭🫶🏻

[@kimbaelyvang]

3RACHA consisted of 3 members of the group. they have writing, producing and/or arranging credits on all of their songs except “road not taken”. their message has always been to be unapologetically different and proudly stand out from the crowd. i heard a saying that “kpop isn’t the genre of music but just the industry’s name”. Stray Kids are put under the ‘kpop’ blanket but their discography delves into so much more than pop, such as edm/dubstep, pop rock, etc. overall, would recommend thunderous, megaverse, venom, and so much more.

[@kimbaelyvang]

the intros to the albums on youtube are good for a glimpse at the behind the scenes recording studio sessions. ‘SKZ-Replay’ (album) & SKZ-Player (youtube) is what you’re looking for if you want to see more solo/unit songs. Felix is the man with the deep voice. ‘deep end’ is a ballad that showcases his range well. it is a solo song. my personal favorites right now are Charmer, Slump, Super Bowl, Mixtape: Time Out, Alien (HAN), Red Lights (Bangchan, Hyunjin), Taste (Felix, Lee Know, Hyunjin), and the whole ROCK-Star album lol

[@diana_moshkovsky]

for their deep songs: silent cry, deep end (felix), hate to admit (bang chan), red light (it has a sexy concept but the song itself is talking about obsession in general and losing yourself to your obsessions), hold on (not super deep but it is about pets and the love that owners have for them, i may have cried reading these lyrics). There's actually a ton ngl, most of their non-title track songs have deep meanings. To get more in-depth explanations about each song in the album, they have intros for every album. You can search for like 5-star intro or rockstar intro and they go through and explain each song. those also give some insight in the production process.

[@CiaraLDN]

I already need to see your reactions to so many other Stray Kids songs! To answer your question about production, they do it all themselves! The production members are Bang Chan (the leader who handpicked all the members himself), Changbin and Han (main rappers). They have some album recording videos on the Stray Kids channel! Definitely worth a watch as it shows a bit more of their humour, how they mesh and the trust and understanding they have as a group. They have also showed song progression on live streams before and made songs from scratch in an hour, which shows in more detail their process (which you can find clips of on KZbin). Over the last few albums, more of the members have been getting involved, writing and producing as well. (Hyunjin wrote and produced Cover Me on their latest album which is a ballad style song). You said you wanted to see more of their songs that have a deeper meaning, so I have listed some below including the meanings, take your pick, 'Silent Cry' - struggles of being stuck in a cycle of pretending to be okay and trying to appear strong when you are really not 'Social Path' - pursuing dreams and individuality in a world that often discourages or rejects those who deviate from societal norms. 'Slump', - feeling stuck in a bad cycle but still finding resilience and determination to keep pushing forward despite the odds 'Sorry, I love you', - you have feelings for a friend and struggle to admit your feelings in case it ruins your relationship 'Leave' - feeling heartbroken after a break up and not yet being over them 'Cover Me', - feelings of loneliness and the desire for comfort and support 'Mixtape:OH' - complicated feelings that come with falling in love for the first time '#LoveStay' - a song for the fans about how they can face any challenges because STAY are behind them 'Winter Falls' - long lasting feelings after a breakup that don't seem to change like the seasons do For more of Stray Kids unique sound, I would recommend 'Venom' or 'Hall of Fame' because they feel so unlike other genres. Felix is the member with the deeper voice, he tends to leave his mark on most songs, for more of his deep voice I would recommend 'Megaverse' , it's another punching powerful song. He also has a solo song called 'Deep end' which shows his duality as well as his vocal range (which is mental). I have so much more I could say about the members and songs, but I'll restrain as I'm sure you will see the more you get into the Stray Kids rabbit hole.
