Huge popularity in Japan too! Stray Kids’ Most Popular Songs Ranking (1–10)
Chk Chk BoomStray Kids1rank/position
A track marked by a sense of exhilarating speed in its electronic sound and a powerful vocal performance.
It’s been drawing attention as the title song of the mini-album “ATE,” released in July 2024 by the eight-member Korean boy group Stray Kids.
The lyrics, which sing of ambition and passion for success, strike a chord and give it the feel of an uplifting anthem that energizes you with every listen.
The music video even features Ryan Reynolds, known from the film Deadpool, underscoring its global buzz.
If you’re looking for courage to take on a new challenge, give it a listen.
CASE 143Stray Kids2rank/position
Stray Kids is a boys’ group that’s rapidly gaining momentum.
In Japan, they’re affectionately known as “Sukizu” and loved by many female fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for its singability and crowd-pleasing energy is CASE 143, released in 2022.
While the overall vocal range is quite wide—low G# to high F#—the low notes appear in the rap parts and the high notes only show up in the final chorus, so the basic range isn’t that broad.
The high notes also come after clear rests, so you can prepare and hit them comfortably.
If you’re still unsure, you can sing the high parts an octave lower.
Get CoolStray Kids3rank/position
For those looking for mellow tracks, I’d like to recommend “Get Cool.” It’s a song by Stray Kids with a slow electronic vibe.
The lyrics express hope for a wonderful future.
It’s a heartwarming song that would leave a pleasant aftertaste if you perform it at the end.
The choreography is uniquely crafted, featuring moments like pointing at each other.
Try showcasing a perfectly in-sync performance with your friends.
MIROHStray Kids4rank/position
An energetic track overflowing with the powerful vibe characteristic of SKZ, it’s the title song from the 2019 mini-album “Clé 1: MIROH.” The lyrics and choreography carry a message of breaking through walls and overcoming hardships, giving you a real boost of energy.
I think the choreography in the chorus is especially easy to copy.
With the theme of a “jungle maze,” the dance incorporates the traditional New Zealand haka, leaving a strong impression as a fusion of combat and dance.
Grow UpStray Kids5rank/position
For studying and boosting motivation, Stray Kids’ “Grow Up” is highly recommended.
Included on their 2018 debut mini-album “I am NOT,” this song gives you the courage to overcome adversity and move forward, encouraging many young people.
Its repeating phrases are catchy, and the chorus makes you want to sing along.
The encouraging message in the lyrics is reassuring while studying and can also help you refresh during breaks.
Christmas EveLStray Kids6rank/position
Stray Kids is a boy group that enjoys high popularity in Japan as well.
When it comes to their hyped-up Christmas song, it has to be “Christmas EveL.” The title is a coined word formed by adding the letter “L” to “Christmas Eve.” “EveL” echoes “evil,” so it feels like the complete opposite of the holy image of Christmas, doesn’t it? In the song, somewhat dirty lyrics are delivered over an intense sound.
You’ll find yourself drawn into its wild worldview.
Lose My Breath (Feat. Charlie Puth)Stray Kids7rank/position
A track by Stray Kids, a boy group that shines as a representative of K-pop.
Released in May 2024, this noteworthy collaboration features American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth.
The musical style masterfully fuses pop and K-pop elements, showcasing the full talents of both artists.
The lyrics capture the dramatic emotions of falling in love, sure to resonate with listeners.
With a strong message depicting a journey of self-discovery, this song may inspire you to reflect on yourself.
