Stray Kids will release their holiday special single “Christmas EveL” on November 29, 2021.
With the new single, “Christmas EveL,” Stray Kids adds the letter “L” to “Christmas Eve,” continuing the group’s unique way of communicating with the world with new words beyond the conventional grammar of each album. With the theme of ‘Christmas baddies’, the group will visit fans at home and abroad with a special single like a Christmas surprise.
The video “Stray Kids “STEP OUT 2021″” released on January 1 this year announced the group’s ambitions and plans, including the first official fan meeting, their own reality, a second album, seasonal songs, collaborations, and pop-up stores, and they realized their fan love by fulfilling their promises in sequence, starting with the fan meeting, their own reality “SKZ CODE,” and global collaborations. Continuing the momentum, the group released the seasonal song “Christmas EveL” and responded to the support of fans at home and abroad.
The holiday special single “Christmas EveL” includes “Christmas EveL” and “Winter Falls” as the double title track. From the very beginning, the opposite vibes of the two new songs foreshadowed the double appeal of the songs. ‘Christmas EveL’ was written and composed by the team’s production group 3RACHA, making the most of Stray Kids’ witty charm. The witty lyrics about Christmas from a different perspective, “Climb up the chimney of a magpie’s feet” and “Today is a special day, no one can steal it, shadows fall over me, Let me sing a Christmas song,” enhanced the immersion. The funky, hip-hop twist to the holiday sound adds to the cheerful energy of Stray Kids, and another title track, “Winter Falls,” is a charming song with a warm melody and guitar lines that contrast with the lyrical lyrics.
The English versions of the new song “24 to 25” and “DOMINO” from the second album “NOEASY” are included here. For “DOMINO (English Ver.),” rapper Junoflo joins forces with Bangchan and Phyllix to reinterpret the confidence and ambition of “once you make a move, everyone follows” in English lyrics.
The new single also showcases 3RACHA’s musical growth with full credits. In addition, the group collaborated with leading domestic and international writers such as earattack and HotSauce to enhance the completeness of the song.
Stray Kids released their first full-length album “GO生” and their first repackaged album “IN生” last year, showcasing their addictive songs “God Menu” and “Back Door,” solidifying their status as pioneers of the marathon genre of music and establishing themselves as “the next generation of K-pop’s leading group. After winning the final round of Mnet’s “Kingdom: Legendary War” in June this year, the group reached a “career high” with their second full-length album “NOEASY” and title track “Sounder,” which were released in August, achieving the highest performance in various indicators. In October, he surpassed 1.27 million cumulative units shipped on the Gaon Chart and became a “million-selling artist” three years after his debut, firmly establishing himself as a leader of the fourth generation of K-pop.
They are proving their worth with their lyrics, compositions, and arrangements, as well as their intense performances and solid vocal and rap skills, and they are keeping their promise to their fans and warming up the end of 2021 with their new single.

[Stray Kids’ Comment]
“This track is a hip-hop interpretation of Christmas as Stray Kids, the mischievous bad boys, see it. Please enjoy our witty lyrics that look at Christmas from a different perspective and our free-spirited and unique energy. We hope you like it a lot because it has a different charm from the calm atmosphere of Christmas music.”

[Stray Kids’ Comment]
“We wrote this song about wanting to spend the time between December 24th and 25th together, and we hope that everyone who hears it will have a sweet and warm Christmas this year. The soothing guitar sound, our voices, and the grand track create a cozy atmosphere. With the lyrics ‘STAY for Christmas’, we expressed both the meaning of staying together and the meaning that this is a Christmas song for STAY.”

3. Winter Falls*Title
[Stray Kids’ Comment]
“Winter Falls” is a story about a person who tries to erase the complicated thoughts that come to mind when winter, the season of organizing the year, arrives with white snow. The lyrics “Winter Falls falls, snow falls cleaner than anything else Falls I’ll erase all your things that are still left to me” are lyrical and wistful, and the rhythmic and warm melody is attractive. I hope it can be a song that can be a warmth in the cold winter.”
