Stray Kids is about to kick off a celebratory ceremony.

On the afternoon of the 20th, Stray Kids uploaded 'Stray Kids [INTRO "KARMA"]' on their social media. The members shared stories about their new album for about 40 minutes.

"Karma" signifies fate and retribution, and Stray Kids added the meaning of "Calmer." The message is that "when bad karma arrives, we will soothe it with our good karma."

The members stated, "'Karma' is a proud word we can say at this point in our career" and added, "It's a strong-sounding word. The things we've built so far are our weapons and, in a way, a warning."

The title track 'Ceremony' is a grand celebration song sung by Stray Kids as they return triumphantly to Seoul. Recently, they completed a world tour, 'Dominate,' with 54 performances across 34 regions worldwide.

Stray Kids explained, "With a stadium tour scheduled, we started writing it with the feeling of gifting it to STAY (their fandom)," and added, "It's a song with an incredible synergy that everyone can cheer for together."

The performance also reflects the members' involvement. In particular, Hyunjin and Leeknow actively participated in the choreography. Hyunjin shared, "(The title track) has a dynamic melody. We wanted choreography as rich as the song."

Leeknow mentioned, "We aim to show all the stage skills and composure we've gained over about a year of touring," and added, "At the ending, each of us will do our own ceremony. There will be great charm to see as ending fairies."

'Karma' is Stray Kids' first regular album released in nearly two years since 'Five Star.' The group's producing team, '3RACHA' (Bangchan, Changbin, Han), participated in the production of all tracks once again.

The new album contains a total of 11 songs, including 'Ceremony,' 'Bichari,' 'Creed,' 'Messy,' 'In My Head,' 'Reversal,' 'Phoenix,' 'Ghost,' and '0801.' They prepared a variety of tracks, including the title track festival version and fan songs.

Stray Kids concluded, "'Ceremony' is all thanks to STAY's love," noting, "Because we had STAY's trust, we could move forward. We will repay the faith and love of our fans through this album."

Meanwhile, Stray Kids will release their new album on the 22nd at 1 PM (midnight Eastern Standard Time).
