## Composition

> With their first full-length album, 'GO LIVE', Stray Kids proved their unrivaled presence by showcasing the essence of the 'malataste genre' that is unforgettable once tasted. They continue their rise through a repackaged album with a deeper flavor.

>
> The title track, "Back Door," is like an invitation to come in and join them if you want to continue enjoying the excitement of their previous song, "God's Menu". The thrill of entering a space off-limits to all but those in the know, appeals to the tastes of global K-pop fans. The song utilizes various instruments such as acoustic and synth to create a festival atmosphere, and unique musical devices in the middle of the song make it more colorful.

> The group's performance is also noteworthy for its street vibe and playfulness.

>
> The tug-of-war choreography that goes well with the first verse's lyrics, "Hey gosh," and the powerful dance moves in the chorus, "Authorized personnel only here," are eye-catching. The choreography, which is reminiscent of playing riverboat, makes it easy and fun for global fans to follow along. The costumes, which are a modern interpretation of traditional hanbok, show off the exquisite oriental beauty, making it even more fun to watch.

> The music video also shows Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. dancing together with many people, raising the tension of the viewers. In addition, special filming equipment such as robotic arms and MCC (Motion Control Camera) were used to create differentiated scenes by moving freely in time and space.

> The new album starts with "The Tortoise and the Hare," a full version of their first album intro song "GO LIVE," followed by the title track, "Back Door," "B Me," "Any," and "Ex" on tracks 1 through 5. To these were added the unit songs from Stray Kids' first solo concert, "District 9 : Unlock", and from track 9 onwards, songs from their first full-length album "GO LIVE" that captured the hearts of K-pop fans around the world.

> In particular, the unit songs presented on the stage of 'District 9 : Unlock' are a great surprise for fans. From "We Go" (Bang Chan, Changbin, HAN), which warmed up the atmosphere with its colorful rap at the concert, to "Wow" (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix), a song full of excitement reminiscent of first love, to "My Universe" (Seungmin, I.N. feat. Changbin), with its calm piano melody and lyrical emotional vocals.
