Stray Kids debuted under JYP entertainment in 2018 post a survival show of the same name. Having spent only five years in the industry, they have already created a niche for many rookie groups by their impressive composition, song writing skills and their distinct “mala” sound.

Stray Kids’ music focuses on self-discovery in the midst of this maze-like world, as they pack their energies together to generate quality tracks. Their choreography is intense and their heavy electronic influence sends the audience into an adrenaline rush that only a few can achieve.

A major plus point of Stray Kids’ is that they’re one of the few self-producing idol groups. Members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han are the group’s in-house production trio, also known as 3RACHA. Stray Kids' discography since the group's debut has been seen with the 3RACHA credits as they have carved the group’s identity – from lyrics to composition to production.

Stray Kids' achieved a major feat with this one. The single Back Door was selected by Time Magazine in their list of Top 10 best songs of 2020. The unique influence of jazz, R&B, theatrical airhorns, and a chorus that featured elements of both trap and EDM was experimental and rebellious. The video garnered over 250 million views.

The choreography was equally engaging and involved portions of jazz as well.

The most replayed moment of the song was Hyunjin's iconic knock at 1:01 in his bubble gum pink long hair. Back Door is similar to God’s Menu in terms of going down in history as one of the most catchy and unique K-pop songs.
