Stray Kids – IN生 (In Life): A Bold Rebirth of Sound and Story
Stray Kids' IN生 (In Life), released in September 2020, is more than just a repackage of their GO生 (Go Live) album—it's a sonic evolution and a powerful declaration of growth. This expanded album reflects the group’s signature edge while diving even deeper into themes of resilience, inner conflict, and survival in a chaotic world.
Track Highlights:
The album includes all tracks from GO生, plus eight new songs, including:
Back Door – A funky, energetic follow-up to “God’s Menu” with addictive hooks and charisma.
B Me – A melodic track that explores emotional duality and self-perception.
Any – A playful, sarcastic commentary on dissatisfaction and indecision.
Ex – A softer, sentimental breakup song with emotional depth.
Wow (3RACHA + Lee Know + Hyunjin) – A smooth, confident unit track dripping with swagger.
My Universe (Seungmin + I.N + Changbin + Felix) – A hopeful ballad showcasing vocal strength and sentiment.
Pacemaker – An adrenaline-charged anthem for pushing forward.
We Go (Bang Chan + Han) – A bold, hard-hitting rap unit piece with futuristic flair.
Themes & Feel
IN生 is about transformation. It’s gritty, witty, and introspective—with each track offering a glimpse into the chaos of youth and the strength required to navigate it. Stray Kids balance raw emotion with polished production, seamlessly blending EDM, hip-hop, and rock influences.
“Back Door,” the lead single, sets the tone with its genre-blending sound and playful, "welcome to the party" energy, while the other unit tracks allow each member's individuality to shine.
Final Thoughts
With IN生, Stray Kids prove they aren't just idols—they're artists, storytellers, and sonic risk-takers. The album is bold, multilayered, and full of the kind of authenticity that keeps fans, aka STAY, coming back for more.
Whether you're revisiting it or hearing it for the first time, IN生 is an unforgettable ride.
