With just a week remaining until the release of "THIS & THAT," Stray Kids are once again putting their in-house production team, 3RACHA, at the center of the group's music.

Bang Chan, Changbin and Han are credited across every track on the upcoming mini album, continuing a creative partnership that dates back to the group's pre-debut song "Hellevator." Their consistent involvement has become one of Stray Kids' defining characteristics, helping shape the group's distinct sound throughout its career.

The album arrives after another landmark year for the eight-member act. In 2025, "KARMA" and "DO IT" both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, extending Stray Kids' record as the first artist to debut eight consecutive releases atop the chart. The group also wrapped its stadium-scale "dominATE" world tour before launching the new "RUN IT" tour with five sold-out concerts at Seoul's KSPO DOME.

Beyond the album release, Stray Kids are set to continue a busy global schedule with performances at Rock in Rio, concerts at Tokyo's National Stadium and the launch of the STRAYCITY festival in Latin America.

"THIS & THAT" will be released on Aug. 7 at 1 p.m. KST.
