Additionally, solo performances showcased by each member during the world tour ‘Stray Kids World Tour dominATE’ are included as bonus tracks. The producing team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, led the production, with all members credited, deeply embedding the group’s musical color.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids’ SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ and the title track ‘Walkin On Water’ are set for official release on December 13 at 2 PM KST. Expectations are high for Stray Kids’ unique music and performances to come.
