Stray Kids are just hours away from launching their next musical chapter. The group’s new mini album This & That arrives tonight, marking their first Korean release since Do It topped the Billboard 200 and extended their remarkable streak of global chart success.
The project follows months of anticipation fueled by the explosive lead single “RUN IT,” the kickoff of the RUN IT World Tour, and the surprise release of SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1. Here’s everything fans need to know before the album drops.
When does Stray Kids’ This & That come out?
This & That will be released on August 7, 2026. In South Korea, the EP arrives at 1 p.m. KST, with fans worldwide able to stream it simultaneously according to their local time zones.
The release comes less than a year after Do It, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in November 2025 with 295,000 equivalent album units in its opening week. The album also surpassed 2.21 million first-week sales in South Korea, reinforcing Stray Kids’ status as one of K-pop’s strongest commercial forces.
Stray Kids This & That tracklist
The new EP contains eight tracks, including its previously released lead single and an alternate version of the title song.
Full tracklist:
- RUN IT
- This & That
- After You
- FARMING
- I Do
- Way Out
- Back Then
- This & That (Festival Version)
“RUN IT” set the tone for the new era
Released on June 24, “RUN IT” offered fans the first taste of the album’s direction. Built around booming electronic production, cinematic string arrangements and pounding percussion, the song leaned into Stray Kids’ signature mix of hip-hop, trap and electronic music while delivering one of their most stadium-ready singles to date.
Its cinematic music video amplified that intensity through abandoned industrial landscapes, eclipse-filled skies and synchronized choreography. The single also debuted inside the Daily Global Spotify Top 100, giving the era an immediate streaming boost.
Momentum has only continued to grow
The arrival of This & That follows one of the strongest periods of Stray Kids’ career. Earlier this summer, the group became the first K-pop act to headline Governors Ball in New York before continuing the RUN IT World Tour, which launched in Seoul and stretches across Asia through March 2027 with stops including Tokyo’s National Stadium, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Taipei Dome and Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium.
Fans also received another surprise during STAYweeK with the release of SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1 on August 1. The 17-track compilation gathered fan-favorite solo songs, previously digital-exclusive releases and live recordings, celebrating both the group’s history and each member’s individual artistry ahead of the new EP.
