To successfully complete this new masterpiece, Stray Kids celebrates the Christmas season with an original version of “Christmas Love.” The title song “GIANT” was produced by 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), offering a powerful cocktail unique to the group.

“GIANT” RETRACTS THE GREATNESS OF THEIR SUCCESS

A mix of hip-hop and electronics, this track recalls both the hit title “Chk Chk Boom” with its explosive Boom Bap-type intonations accompanied by powerful choreography, but also “Jjam” with its volcanic Dubstep rhythms.

The music video seems to illustrate Stray Kids’ evolution and rise to success. It opens with a gigantic footprint, evoking the mysterious presence of a colossal creature. At the feet of the group members lies an egg, symbolizing their artistic birth: dull on the outside, but containing their potential. A titanic hand descends from the sky to grab the boys, transporting them to a place of transformation where they are locked up and pushed to work hard. Each of them holds an egg representing their unique power, and by individually facing trials while uniting their efforts, they manage to merge their talents into a “super egg,” propelling them towards the stars. The final scene shows a giant luminous being overlooking Stray Kids in an infinite cosmos, symbolizing their brilliant success. A powerful beam of light emanates from the heart of this celestial figure, illuminating the eight members and celebrating their triumph beyond the heavens.
