Stray Kids – I Am WHO: Shouting Questions Into the Summer Night

Released in August 2018—just five months after their explosive debut—I Am WHO is the middle chapter of Stray Kids’ first trilogy (I Am NOT → I Am WHO → I Am YOU). If the debut was a rebellious declaration of independence, this follow-up is the anxious after-party: louder, brighter, but full of late-night self-doubt. 3RACHA once again steer the production, blending festival-ready EDM, punk attitude, and sing-along hooks that make every track feel like it was built for a live crowd.

Track list

  1. “WHO?” – 58-second intro of glitchy whispers and ticking clocks

  2. “My Pace” – adrenaline-pumped anthem urging listeners to run at their own speed

  3. “Voices” – melodic hip-hop confronting the nagging doubts in one’s head

  4. “Question” – playful electro-pop that turns existential wonderings into a chant

  5. “Insomnia” – moody R&B-trap describing sleepless nights of overthinking

  6. “M.I.A.” – guitar-driven track about feeling lost in the noise of expectations

  7. “Awkward Silence” – funky, whistle-laden bop poking fun at social discomfort

  8. “Mixtape #2” – old-school boom-bap closer reflecting on their trainee grind

Feel & Themes

I Am WHO captures the turbulent middle ground between defiance and assurance. While “My Pace” and “Awkward Silence” burst with swagger and summer energy, “Voices” and “Insomnia” peel back the confidence to reveal sleepless anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Lyrically, the members wrestle with questions of identity—“Who am I in a crowd?” “Whose pace am I really running at?”—but they meet that confusion with raucous beats, chanted hooks, and a communal call to keep moving forward together.

In short, I Am WHO sounds like racing down neon-lit streets with your friends—laughing, doubting, shouting, and ultimately deciding that finding the answer matters less than asking the question at full volume.
