Back Door

**Back Door** is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It is the second and title track from their repackage album *IN LIFE*.

## Composition

> The title track "Back Door" is like an invitation to come through the "back door" to continue enjoying the excitement of its predecessor "God's Menu". The thrill of entering a space off-limits to all but those in the know, it appeals to the tastes of global K-pop fans. The song utilizes various acoustic and synth instruments 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, "ego eogieocha" and the powerful dance moves in the chorus, "gwangyeja oe chul-ibgeumji yeogin back door", immediately catch the eye. The choreography is reminiscent of a game of riverboat, making 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.

> In the music video, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, HAN, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. are shown 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.

Hey, you wanna come in?

다 치워 이제 들어가

저번 건 입가심 umm

이? 본편으로 party

감당 안 됨 빠지지 yeah

에고 어기어차 참 뻐근한 거

다 풀고 맘대로 즐겨 누구라도

불 끄고 눈 밝혀라 밤새

억눌렀던 흥을 끌어모아 방생

손잡이를 돌려 내가 원하던 걸 다 볼래

이 문 앞에서 들리는 음악 소리

내 목소리가 터지도록 외쳐

멈칫할 시간 따윈 없어

Hey

두 눈앞에서 펼쳐지는 fantasy

내 목소리가 터지도록 외쳐 멈칫

### Media Evaluation

> Contemporary pop out of Korea is almost impossible to classify today. “Back Door,” from Stray Kids, is a prime example: there’s not a single musical style it doesn’t exuberantly co-opt, in an artful Frankenstein that’s as catchy as it is complex. There are dramatic airhorns, slinky R&B breaks, jazz interludes, a trap chorus, electronic beats that would rile up festival crowds and others more likely to be found in underground clubs. It’s hard not to become enraptured by the song’s sheer bravado—both in its multi-layered production and the brassy energy of the eight performers. Stray Kids, who debuted just three years ago, are the latest act poised to break out in an increasingly globalized and free-wheeling pop industry, one that South Korea in particular has been eagerly pioneering. That “Back Door” starts and ends on a cheeky note in English—”Hey, you wanna come in?”—only drives home its willingness to welcome everyone into the fold.—RB

> Is there a sonic motif that had as big a year in K-pop as The Funky Bassline? The Funky Bassline featured prominently in countless boy group releases, and while many acts were content with letting TFB do all the heavy lifting, Stray Kids’ adherence to their “more is more” M.O. gave it a much needed makeover. Co-produced by members Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN, “Back Door” welcomes you in with TFB and ensnares you with its cheeky on-the-nose door creaks, its cooly confident vocal performances, and a stomping, floor-filling EDM finale. On “Back Door,” Stray Kids tighten their production without eschewing any exuberance, transforming their signature bombastic EDM into something more sophisticated. — M.M.

## Trivia

* The music video features people wearing white hoodies, a nod to their debut music video "District 9" in which Stray Kids were wearing white hoodies themselves, meaning that more and more people are joining their empire.
* The music video features Riku, Nina, Mako, Rio, Maya, Ayaka, Mayuka and Rima, members of the Japanese girl group under the same company, NiziU.
