“This isn’t where you belong.” It’s a fierce, powerful work that smashes that kind of one-sided judgment and declares a territory that’s ours alone.
It’s the landmark debut released by the boy group Stray Kids.
Written and composed by the members themselves, it condenses their origins: resisting society’s frameworks and affirming their own chaotic feelings even as nobodies.
The track was included on their debut album “I am NOT,” released in March 2018, and later became the title of their world tour.
When you feel yourself getting swept up by the voices around you, listening to this song might give you the courage to hold your head high, say “I’m fine being myself,” and take a step forward with your friends.
