Stray Kids are back with their fourth full-length album, KARMA, and they definitely didn’t miss. Arriving just nine months after their Gold-certified, Billboard 200–topping record HOP, the new album further proves why Stray Kids belong to the elite of K-Pop. While HOP cemented their dominance in the industry, KARMA sees them expand their sound with a unique mix that spans from EDM trap to more introspective ballads, such as “0801.”
The album revolves around the theme of destiny—how choices, consequences, and resilience shape the future. Produced entirely by 3RACHA, the trio of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, KARMA tells a story not only about the group’s struggles and triumphs but also about finding strength in self-belief, no matter the obstacles.
Leading the record is “CEREMONY,” a high-energy track blending EDM trap and baile funk, accompanied by a cinematic music video that captures the essence of triumph after hardship.
As Stray Kids continue to build on their historic run, we took a moment to listen to KARMA and rank every track on the album.
