Stray Kids’ ‘ATE’: Every Song Ranked


Stray Kids latest Billboard 200 No. 1 album experiments with Spanish and English lyrics while embracing jazz, Latin hip-hop and more genres.

Helmed mainly by the group’s in-house production unit 3RACHA (consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), the new mini-album serves a smorgasbord of sonic flavors that expand Stray Kids’ musical palette. The song moves from Changbin rapping, “Cybernetic system, yeah, I felt like a machine” to Seungmin and Lee Know’s bold assertions: “I know that I’m becoming/ G.O.A.T., I’m stunning, let me show the world/ I’m feeling edgy” demonstrating the group’s range of drive. Changbin’s raps have several standout lines about how he’s “Sick of this life/ It’s regular” and declares, “I’m the owner of my goal.” Seungmin offers inspiration through the lyrics, “Shoot down my goals one by one/ I snipe them,” while Han tells listeners, “I’m not a changed man.”
