Slump’s lyrics are so deep and I almost cried when I heard them first. I always love Han’s songwriting.
He portrays emotions so beautifully❤️
Just a few of things about Slump... SKZ was the first k-pop group on the First Take channel. It was a Japanese only channel before them. Han wrote this song. From hearing him talk about it, he was at a point that his anxiety was getting to him and it was making it difficult for him to write. He decided to push through and write about it. That's how Slump was written and, ironically, writing the song broke him out of that slump he was feeling.
We had never heard of this channel before but it's such a fun concept.. even though you could see how nervous they were! It hurts to hear that Han was going through this at the time. We're glad he was able to overcome it. The way he's able to share these kinds of feelings and emotions with the world will never not be amazing to us.
Actually I also heard that when Han was writing about his feelings at the time, Chan was the one who saw what he'd written in his notebook and told him he should let him arrange it and make it into a song for him and that was why Han ended up being able to put together his feelings that he'd written down and was able to make it into a song with Chan's help. Originally, Han didn't write the lyrics intending on making it into a song, he was just writing down his feelings at the time and how he hated music and everything sounded the same to him (like the lyric in the song). Chan saw and thought it might be good if Han made what he was going through into a song, using what he'd written down as a baseline.
slump is my favorite japanese track of theirs. Even tho I listen to the english version more... this song is just so personal and dear to me. Gotta love hannies songwriting!
His songwriting is truly on another level 🥺❤️
Slump English version is my number 1 song, i love it so much
@@_.isy._ Me too. Saved it on my phone.
Their English versions of slump, levanter and double knot is a must!
Those are something we’re definitely looking forward to getting to!!
And TOP
@@rs_fw08 oh i missed that sorry, thanks for reminding❤️
Tower Of God + Straykids = perfect 👌
Fully agree 🙌🏻
Slump is my favourite han jisung song❤he said he wrote this while he himself was in a slump🥺those lyrics thooo
No wonder the lyrics are hit so hard 😭
I love the first take videos,they did one for 애(Mixtape : OH) and for Scars (another one of their Japanese Songs). Lee Know voice is so beautiful,i feel like i'm in heaven when he sings;i mean all of their voices,especially when they go high and you're all shocked.
It's a shame Slump is so short,it's only a bit more than 2 minutes
Tell me why I want to try and sing along. I literally couldn't hold a note if my life depended on it 🤣😭. I could listen to this song for hours 🥺
@@NewChapterReactions same ! anytime someone sings really high or a high note i'm like let me do it,meanwhile i can't hold a note either 🤣
@@0becalp325 At least we try I guess 🤣🤣🤣
@@NewChapterReactions we can always lip sync 🤣
If I had to choose my most favourite song I have ever heard in my life, that would be "slump"! It is too short, I agree, that's why I have japanese, english and korean versions one after another. Han wrote this song in 2019 when he felt that all other members are moving forward, but he doesn't, he lost his motivation and didn't want to do anything. Chan helped him to write this song and to get out of the slump.
Oh that's smart 🤣. You have Slump in all flavors! We're glad to hear he was able to overcome it. That must have been such a hard time for him 😟
This is how I got into stray kids I love anime so I was watching the anime that these songs go to and I was amazed at Stray kids I love there 1st take performances
This is such an amazing introduction to their music!!
For mixtapes i would suggest you to listen 3racha version of them too side by side, it will give you an idea how 3racha developed their skills
When I heard TOP, i just knew it had to become my alarm tone. I wanna feel majestic and full of zest thing in the morning.
This is a wonderful idea… I may just do the same thing ✨😍
You are funny but it is a fact.
Slump is in my top10 favourite songs of SKZ, I can't even express how much I love this song, especially the english version 🥲
TOP will always be my favorite Japanese release. I play it all the time
When you consider that Clé: Levanter was the first album after Woojin left, the song "You Can Stay" feels even more emotional to me. The album was delayed because they had to re-record all of his parts. I can't imagine how scared they were that Stay would abandon them. I'm sure that Chan took losing one of the members as his own burden, whatever the actual cause was. The pressure he must have been under as this album came out was probably crushing. It makes it feel like a plea almost when I listen to it with that in mind. Like, you can stay, it's okay, we're still here with you.
They never miss with their Japanese tracks! Slump is such a meaningful song. Apparently Han wrote Run around the same time as it, which kinda makes a lot of sense.
You should watch the MVs for Oh, On Track, Be Me and The View, all together because it is all one storyline. (But definitely don’t forget The First Take for Oh!)
Oh that does make a lot of sense. I'm glad he came out on the other side of this but I still want to give Han the biggest hug ❤!
Thank you so much! We will make sure to watch these together 💕
Slump The First Take was my first SKZ song that I listened to, I love your reactions - I had the same one
It's hard not to be in complete and utter awe. I don't know how they are able to do this to us every time 🤣❤
Let's go... I was waiting for SLUMP my favorite Stray Kids song... You guys made my day ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We can definitely see why it’d be your favorite! 🔥🔥
Funny you said it feels like you're in writers block mode because this song's written by Han when he's in a slump and didn't feel satisfied with whatever he wrote at that time. He wrote this song and run (from skz player in the same time frame). It was a rough time for skz and han individually.
He always does such a good job of conveying exactly what he's feeling through his lyrics ❤
I love their First Takes! Really shows how good their vocal skills are. Hoping you also react to the other two first takes - Mixtape OH and Scars 😊😊
For the mixtapes I recommend listening to the ot8 versions too (from skz 2021 album) because some of the lyrics changed compared to when they were 9 members. Also if you plan on watching the placebo (mixtape 1) MV you should watch skz code ep 14 and 15 to understand the story line (it was their Christmas special episodes). Also from all the mixtape MVs, mixtape 4 is actually a street version and mixtape 5 doesn't have an MV.
Thank you for the suggestions! We actually have already watched SKZ code 14 & 15 along with the Placebo Special Video for our SKZ Christmas content ☺!
@@NewChapterReactions watching the Haven special, will also give you more context to SKZ Code 14 and 15. It was the start of the 'Office' storyline. ruclips.net/video/1j1dbm5Np-0/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/alwE7VmqSFw/видео.html
The radio show also combines the office and family storylines - ruclips.net/video/5h51vs58zgo/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/QNb8a9aGUMQ/видео.html (full version - ruclips.net/video/ZlaSGph1sNM/видео.html )
I'm so glad you reacted to SLUMP. It's such a powerful and emotive song, and like others, it's one of my favourite songs from Stray Kids! Also Han's facial expressions while he sings it makes the emotion all the stronger!
I agree! That's why we put his facial expression in our thumbnail. It was so powerful.
@@NewChapterReactions I did notice that (I'll be honest, I see a new video, and I just click, so I don't have time to process what's in the thumbnail: I'm just like: oooooooh new video, shiny)
@@kennethiain Honestly fair .. I do the same thing 🤣
@@NewChapterReactions Shiiiiinyyyyyy
Slump is my favorite Stray Kids’ song. I love it every single time I hear it for the past 3 years now, and never get tired of it. Love the instrumental version and the English version as well. This live version is great and it’s amazing that they sound just like the recording.
You could do all the English Versions of songs together, they're all great (except I prefer double knot in Korean, no hate)
Top and Slump are such good song, and if I remember right TOP has an MV with the anime scenes mixed in? It's been a while since I seen it and Slump, another Han song! I knew when it came out that it was his cause there's just something distinct in his songs.
Also just fun fact: skz were the first Korean group to record 1st take (with Slump), the first to record a Korean song (Mixtape:OH) there and the first Kpop to return thrice (3rd time with Scars).
I'm actually very curious to hear these english versions..
Honestly we should have guessed that it was Han's song. He does such an amazing job of conveying emotions through his lyrics.
That's such a fun fact 🥰. We love hearing about their accomplishments!
you can stay’s lyrics are so beautiful :,) like wdym “i didnt know the sky was so clear like this until i met you” 🥹
anyways for the mixtapes, unlike the other songs they rerecorded, they removed the parts of the other member in the ot8 versions bc these mixtapes were written by all of them so im not sure which ones you guys would react to but i prefer the ot8 ones (tho they dont have music videos) feel free to do whatever is best for you!
also, are the other mixtape series (gone days, on track, oh and time out) gonna be a part of the mixtape reactions or are they gonna have their own video? because mixtape: on track and mixtape: oh are a part of a different story line with their songs b me (in life album) and the view (noeasy album) its kind of like a side story i guess..
but yeah though it might i feel like it would be better if you’d react to these side story music videos together so what i can suggest is you can watch their lyric videos (or for mixtape: oh’s case, the first take) first with the songs from the same album and then watch their music videos all together when you are already in noeasy era so you can understand the story line better!
that’s just my suggestion so feel free to watch whatever would be great!
Thank you for your input! We're trying to make sure we don't miss anything and their discography is so vast sometimes it gets confusing haha. We're taking in suggestions like yours and putting them all together to see what might be best for us. Thank you again 🥰
@@NewChapterReactions If you separate out Mixtape: On Track and the others in the little side story, I suggest watching them all in one go. The story follows a group of high school friends in a film club. Then feelings happen. And stuff. So...Make those a separate section. Be prepared for feels.
The order goes, "Mixtape: On Track", "Unveil: B Me", "Mixtape: OH", and "The View".
I am sad that B Me only got an unveil track, and not a full video. But it's part of the story they made. And these songs all fall on different albums.....So....Watching them together messes up the time line a tiny bit, but I think of these as a separate universe. They don't seem to fall in any of the other lore out there.
slump is definitely one of my favorite songs. i'm not sure anyone has mentioned this, but their other ost song is 'neverending story' or 'the story that won't end' which will also blow you away with the vocals. there's a live performance of it, otherwise it's just lyric video options.
We can't wait to get into their OSTs!
Yay, mixtape #2 incomiiing soon!!! love that song
There was a concert they did recently where Stay did a fan project for them and they sung the end part of You can Stay to the boys. The whole audience were singing the "thank you for bringing me here, you brought be here" part the chorus and everything. It was the sweetest thing to see. It was a song for Stay but it can also be from us to them as well. The fact that they say you can rest here, like they are our safe space. If you have hardships in your life, come to us and rest a bit. Skz loves us just as much as we love them. That is so rare to find to this extent.
"Mixtape : OH" also have The First Take version.
Thank you! We'll have to check it out 🥰
Slump has an English version that has some lyrics that can make you tear up. Definitely listen to it!
TOP also has an mv for the korean version called unveil: track top (same setting but different shots) and probably the one with anime shots as well. TOP's instrumental is top tier, pun intended.
It's so nostalgic to hear TOP again because Tower of God was the reason I discovered Stray Kids same with Everlasting Shine by TXT (I was a huge anime fan before)
I would recommend watching the stay surprise video they made for stray kıds on their district 9 tour, it's so Heart warming and wholesome (and so emotional i cry every time i watch it lol)
Slump was amongst the first songs I came across when I discovered Stray Kids. I used to confuse Han and Changbin, because they looked alike with the same hairstyle.
Tower of God is a South Korean manhwa released as a webtoon, and I think it was quite popular. So SKZ were really excited to be asked to write the intro (Top) and outro (Slump) for the Japanese anime. They are all really into anime. The anime was dubbed into English and Korean, and SKZ wrote an English and Korean version of the songs for each version. Top also got a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
It has been mentioned that Han wrote this. He had hit a particularly bad patch and didn't want to write or sing or anything. He kept a journal of the period and Chan helped him put it into song. It perfectly suited the anime.
Stray Kids were the first foreign artists to perform on First Take, and there was a bit of backlash, until the Japanese heard the song and how well SKZ pronounce their Japanese. They went on to be the first artists to perform a non-Japanese song with Mixtape OH, and (I think) the first to do two performance in one day. They did Scars and Mixtape OH on the same day.
Both Chan and Han learned Japanese from the TWICE members, so speak with a regional accent 🙃 which I think endears them to the Japanese as well.
Your faces are so expressive. We could read every single emotion on your face when they've sung their falsettos
We’ve never been ones to hide what we’re feeling… and we were just truly in awe in this video!
The fact that Han wrote Slump when he was experiencing a slump and when he didn’t feel like doing music anymore. The lyrics “how could I ever get used to the fact that the songs and the lyrics, they all sound the same” are just so 😭
You Can STAY - I read from other STAY that this song was telling/asking STAY that after WJ left, they can still stay as SKZ will continue on. They went through such a tough time. My heart just goes out to them.
TOP is the Intro to Tower of God. Slump is the Outro. There is a performance video for TOP: ruclips.net/video/KKIB-5ammJw/видео.html
Slump is a beautiful song, written by Han and he was definitely writing about a slump he was in. I am pretty sure he talked about it, he was in a writing slump, then finally wrote this song (about being in a slump) and the guys just all loved it. It was not written with the anime in mind at all I think, but it does fit the anime so they chose it as the outro. They did both TOP and Slump in Japanese, Korean, and English.
30:50 literally me every time i listen to slump, it just ends so drastically and makes u want more it’s just sooo good honestly it should be illegal how short it is. slump is one of my favorites if not my number one favorite song from skz i looove japenese rock songs and they did it so well ugh
We were both just so in awe of what we’d just heard, that’s the only face we could make 😂😂
For the Mixtapes.. I know lots of people want just the OT8 version, but I'd personally like you to react to both. Mixtape #1-4 all have a video (#1/Placebo is a special video, but it's OT8, #2/Behind the Light is like a compilation concert/behind the scenes video with 9 members, #3/For You has an actual MV with 9 members, #4/Broken Compass is a Street Version with 9 members) but there are lyric versions for the Mixtape #1 original version and lyric videos for the rest as Ot8. Maybe it's asking too much, but I would love to have you react to ALL versions - It would be a shame to miss out on the videos done, but also a shame to miss the new lyrics vs old lyrics and who does what.
As others have noted, there is a separate side story line with Mixtape: OH (I don't have the korean letters, but it's pronounced ae) and Mixtape: On Track. I believe the order for that storyline is (STAY correct me if I'm wrong, still a Baby STAY here): Mixtape: On Track, Mixtape: OH, B Me, The View.
From what I've read, the later mixtapes are released as singles, sometimes as special event type things. Like On Track started a new side story, but also heralded the return of Hyunjin from his hiatus. Timeout was for STAY's birthday on 8/1.
Thank you for your input! I'm not sure what we're going to end up doing just yet but we've gotten some good suggestions. We really appreciate you taking the time to write this out for us ❤
I guess "B me" should be before "Mixtape: OH", cause in the end of unveil for "B me" they show us a car accident and in the beginning of "Mixtape: OH" we can see a member with a broken arm 🤔 Also "B me" was released earlier, I think..
And also sorry if there are mistakes.. English is my second language and I'm not used to writing yet🙈
@@foreverSTAY.... thank you!! ❤️
You can STAY became my personality when I heard it like it summed up how Skz's music soothed me (as much as the members did when I learned more about them and how they wrote the song and the majority of their discography)
TOP is a good sequel to Hellevator haha coz while Hellevator said they'll go up to the penthouse, this is them going through the process of going up there, and The View is when they reach a peak of their career feeling grateful for their hard work while also looking ahead as they go further up.
Slump was the song that took over my TikTok fyp just when I downloaded TikTok. It was a whole emo fyp for me (esp since it has an English ver and every emotional song skz had flooded me after that) also they flexed a lot with slump 😂
I always watch but never really comment but signs you guys are watching first take, you definitely have to watch all the first take from them Scars is my personal favorite 😊
Hello 🥰! We would love to see their other First Take versions. This was amazing ❤
@@NewChapterReactions All of SKZ's Japanese songs are so good but yet they are different from their normal Korean tracks. They are so good to create sounds that can fit into any market/genre with their unique composition and lyrics.
After watching You Can STAY it reminded me of a video that stay made not so long back called stay fan project if I'm not mistayken made in Anaheim in the future I hope you guys react to it as well as skz's reaction to it.
First Take Mixtape OH and First Take Scars are a NO MISS
You can stay always makes me think about that emotional speech they did so long ago 😢
Scars and oh first take too,thank you so much for your always beautiful reaction to our boys the Straykids ❤️❤️❤️💯
Top is the opening of Tower of God and Slump is the closing. I decided to see Tower of God because of Stray Kids. I am waiting for the next season, and I hope Stray Kids do once again the opening and closig. STRAY KIDS WORLD DOMINATION!!
All I know, You can STAY is stray kids saying thank you for staying even though the rough patches that we were going through (one member leaving amongst the preparation of the concert back in 2019) and it's up to the fans whether to stay or not... which in my opinion hurts... big time.
SLUMP! My babe of a song. Nothing screamed at me more than this song. It screams close to home for me. Considering that Han wrote it after having a Slump of his own...
He understood me.
TOP- Oh hat song... I'm still speechless about that one haha
Oh wow my heart 😢. I always forget about how this particular time period must have affected skz and the fandom as well.
TOP and SLUMP are so good. I don't know what we were expecting when we went into these two songs but it wasn't that!
Slump and scars are my favorite japanese tracks❣
The collective breakdowns over the extended falsettos in Slump (especially by Channie) is hilarious and very relatable. We all reacted the same. The first take videos are always choice!
We're all in this together 🤣🤣. Honestly how can you not have a break down over those falsettos 😭??
YEEEEEESSSSS finally getting to THE FIRST TAKE ones!!!! thank you so much for the reaction, girls
We're going to have to watch those too!
Slump is my favorite song among SKZ songs.The lyrics are so good.ㅜ.ㅜ
The song is stunning 😭
I love all their Japanese tracks so much 😭. It’s crazy that they make the tracks in Korean as a guide before translating to Japanese but I somehow always prefer the Japanese versions over the Korean ones. It’s not easy to make something sound as good, and in this case…better, than the original after translating. It’s amazing!!!
All their songs are amazing anyways 😭❤️
Loved the reaction 🥺
I can't wait to hear all of the versions!! They're slaying it in multiple languages 🤣
I love the lyrics to You Can Stay, that song is like a warm hug
Top is iconic! I'm assuming they're about to perform it again since they have their encore concert in Japan in a few days
Slump is always in my to 10! So relatable, Han never misses!
You should listen to the english version of Slump! It's so emotional, I listened to it a lot when my mother passed away two years ago, because it just described all the feelings I had of losing her that I couldn't express myself
We're so sorry to hear about your loss 🫂. We would love to react to the English versions of their songs! Hopefully we can fit those in somewhere soon 🥰
Slump and Top are my fav japanese tracks. Please listen to English Slump version, the lyrics to that hit an emotional spot for me everytime I listen.
i love yalll and thank you for the reaction!!! 💓💓💓
We love youuuu💕
you can stay is such a pretty song there really is no better word for it. Melody, lyrics and even the video is absolutely gorgeous!
Also idk if its on your list or not but since gone days would technically be next i highly recommend the muply version - bc its literally the cutest
You girls are always amazing with your reactions...And to be honest STRAY KIDS always bring it!!! Thanks babes ❤❤
They always do 🔥. Thank YOU 😘😘❤
Yay! Love all these songs! I was SO excited for y’all to react to Top and Slump!! And even happier that you got to see the 1 take version of Slump.😁 Top and Slump are two of my fav songs from all their discography.😊 Missing the appearance of a kitty in this video. Must have been nap time.😸 HUGS!🥰😘😘
I can see why these would be favorites 🔥! We're glad to see you back in our comment section 😘 you were missed! And I'm sure there was a cat lurking around somewhere nearby. Aspen has taken to sleeping in the bottom of the cat bed behind the couch when we're recording. I wish he would come and cuddle with me like Bri's cats do 😭
Just found you guys but i absolutely love watching your reactions are they are so relatable! id love to have you guys react to the english versions of TOP, Slump, Levanter, and Double Knot! Also maybe having a NoEasy album reactions but only if you have time/want to! Dont wanna rush or force ya guys! Anywho, keep up the amazing work! Yall are doing amazing!
Thank you 🥰🥰! And welcome to the channel ☺
Top is tower of god (anime) opening soundtrack and slump is the ending.
Please you need to listen to TOP and slump in english version!!
love your reactions!!!! also bri’s shirt saying “overly emotional” is very fitting for the video 😂❤️
(i cried too)
It’s my favorite shirt, and it fits with so many of Stray Kids’ videos 🤣❤️
A note about the mixtapes because you said you'd be reacting to them soon:
Mixtape #1 (Placebo) has an OT8 MV, Mixtapes #2-4 each have an OT9 MV, and Mixtape #5 (Hoodie Season) is OT8 audio only. SKZ also released re-recorded OT8 audio versions of Mixtapes #1-4 under different song titles and with a few altered lyrics. Personally I enjoy the visuals of Mixtapes #2-4 so it's up to you which versions you want to do!
If you're including Mixtape: Gone Days, On Track, and Oh in that reaction as well they all have MVs
Also, if you're interested in checking it out in a video or in your own time, all Mixtapes #1-5 are actually remakes of predebut 3RACHA releases and all the members contributed to writing their own new lyrics. Here are the titles of the 3racha tracks which correspond to each Mixtape:
#1: Placebo
#2: If there is a shadow there must be light
#3: For You
#4 Broken Compass
#5: Hoodie Season
It also doesn't help that SKZ's predebut EP was named Mixtape lmao
It's a lot to get through so definitely feel free to split things up :)
This helped OUT A LOT 🥰!! Thank you so much for all of this information as it's been a little bit confusing for us. I'm not sure how many versions of each song we're going to end up reacting to haha but we will definitely have to break these down into more than one reaction. We really appreciate all of the help you give us on our videos ❤♥
Yeahhh Mixtape 4 is coming sooooon yessssss
New video from new chapter reactions, we cheer 🙏🏻🥳
Ahh you’re the sweetest 😭❤️
@@NewChapterReactions no you 🙈🐿️❤️
Slump lyrics is sooo sad.. and if u listen to slump english ver is so heartbreaking too 🔓😭
Yay! This notification made my day
🥺❤️❤️
Top is my favvv
Slump is❤❤❤ and scars❤❤❤
Fun good songs like All in and Circus too.
YES SLUMP! My baby, one of my absolute favorites among Han's songs ㅠㅠ
I honestly haven't even looked at the other songs yet, I only saw SLUMP and went crazy lol :D
Going to edit it a bit later tho, I feel like I need to watch something to heal ^^
Edit #1: TOP JAPANESE VERSION JSHJSBDNAHDBNA
Edit #2: YOU CAN STAY MY LOVE OMFG
0:55 MIXTAPES!!!!!! I'm already so overly excited only because of this phrase lol :D But I love mixtapes (as they're all 3RACHA's tracks remade for the whole group). I couldn't choose my favorite among them for a really long time, but eventually I came to the conclusion that my go-to mixtape is going to be Mixtape:4 (or Broken Compass). Mixtapes 1, 3 and 5 are really good (I love-love-love them), and Mixtape:2 always makes me cry, but really, out of them all, Broken Compass must be my comfort song
5:36 "You Can STAY" is such a lovely song. It can be basically interpreted in 4 ways: Stray Kids singing it to STAYs, STAYs singing it to Stray Kids, Stray Kids singing it to Stray Kids (because they're family), and STAYs singing it to STAYs (because we're family too!). I like how you can comfort anyone just with the line "You can STAY", it gives such strong emotional bond and it's beautiful. There was an article back in 2022 where some unknown randoms decided to rank Stray Kids' songs to find out the most loved one. The article was just trash, because there's no way STAYs would say any of those bullshit about Stray Kids' song. The author of the article wrote that "You can STAY" is very repetitive and boring and that the song feels empty. I guess they just don't have taste, because STAYs LOVE this song the way it was made by our Kids
12:28 I am PREPARED. I'm so in love with the music video for "TOP" haha :D It's very beautiful, the storyline and the choreo amaze me ^^
22:22 Basically, from what I've heard, what the main protagonist has to do in the anime is to climb up that tower because he wants his friend to come back after she left him (to climb the tower). There's a lot of challenges as he does it and so the lyrics of "TOP" also say "Look up in the sky, keep up" and "Go up"
31:11 I KNOW RIGHT??? That's a crime actually that SLUMP is so short :( They still made this song unforgettable though, and there's no way I would love it less just because it's not a long track. The lyrics are so beautiful and so painful, I've found myself in them countless times, and I always go back to it whenever I'm having a slump. Han is such a genius for writing this!
Well, I guess I've made it through the video! As you can see, I'm going nuts over Stray Kids' Japanese releases! How can 8 people in their mid and early twenties create these masterpieces from the scratch???
There are also some other "The First Take" videos with Stray Kids (for "Scars" and for "Mixtape: 애"), but I guess you're going to watch them when you'll be reacting to the next albums (as "Mixtape: 애" is included in NOEASY although it was a single, and then "Scars" is a title track for SCARS, their 2021 Japanese album) :D
By the way, as we talk about Japanese releases, have you already seen the second Teaser for THE SOUND??? I'm so ready for the comeback!! LOL
As always, thank you so much for this reaction video, it really was a healing time for me! See you next time ^^
Your excitement has fueled my excitement so now I'm even more hype to get to these mixtapes 🤣!!
Haters gonna hate 😅 that's so embarrassing of them. While the song itself might not be as .. musically complex as some of their other songs it's just as good. The lyrics are so meaningful to the group and to stays. You can tell that whoever wrote that article had no idea 😮💨and didn't care to research and find out.
I agree with you that SLUMP is one of those unforgettable songs haha. Tell me.. why I want to try and sing it even though I can't come close to a fraction of their range 🤣! It's so gorgeous we really were spoiled with this one!
We haven't seen the second trailer yet 🤭!! The MV is coming out soon right? Like as in this week? I'm looking forward to it!
@@NewChapterReactions The MV is going to be released on 10 February! So yes, this week :D
omg u guys should react to scars (one of their japanese releases) its so beautiful
Han jisung is the 4th generation ace of kpop. He can sing (can hit female key), dance, rap, good rap with a flow and speed, one of the main rappers, produce, compose, and co-arranger of their songs. He's my bias wrecker my Quokka! ❤️😍
Slump make me fall in love with Stray Kids.. I really like both version, English n Japanese.. But Japanese version really hits my heart n Han's lyric was stuck in my head..
You can stay is actually a sad song. They have the idea to make that song because of woojin's departure. This is also because of hyunjin have say don't live us you must stay there. If you pay attention in the music vidéo at one moment they have tears because this was the first concert without Woojin.
I don't remember everything and probably I'm wrong, but 'Tower of God' is about climbing a tower, where every floor has a test the characters have to struggle to pass, so they can keep on climbing the tower because, at the Top, you can finally see the stars (and make a wish, I don't remember well). At the beginning, the only friend of the main character leaves him alone (like really alone because there's nothing and nobody else in his world) to climb the tower to see the stars, so he follows her because she was his everything.
So both songs go great with SKZ themes of face adversities, follow your dreams, get to win through struggle, feeling like you've been left behind, find that someone special and themselves along the way, etc.

You Can Stay is evil😖 I don't even need to see the lyrics for it to make me cry (have I ever seriously looked at the lyrics? No. That shows you how powerful it is)
(edit 1) tearing up while eating dinner is very awkward😂
(edit 2) Top is epic and I love it and it's choreo a totally normal amount. And yep! Top is the opening song from Tower of God while Slump is the ending song
Haha yes pure evil 🤣! You really don't need to see the lyrics to instantly know the meaning behind the song 😭
Despite the teary eyes I hope you had a good dinner ❤
Ah called it! They had opening and ending vibes. It's been a while since I've watched an anime but I guess that hasn't changed!
Thanks^^ dinner was... okay I guess, just one of those days where eating is a chore but watching your guys' video helped me get through it. Thanks for that
I hope you watch the Slump mv, at some point. I love it, even though the First Take version is my favorite. All 3 songs on the First Take just hit different for me, IDK why, buy they do.
TYSM for this reaction. 💓 Both Top and Slump hold a special place because they are the first SKZ songs I ever heard. I watched the anime and loved both songs. So I looked up who sang them and fell in ❤️ with SKZ instantly.
The lyrics are so beautiful and get alot of inspiration from the anime. It's about a boy whose childhood friend runs away and abandons him to try and reach the Tower of God, He goes after her because he doesn't want to lose her. I'm so glad you did the First Take version of Slump. It really shows off their vocal talent, and the fact it's one take is amazing. There are two more First Takes I hope you guys react to there is Scars and Mixtape: OH. Both are so incredible. As always you guys are the best, can't wait for the next reaction.
We are definitely going to need to check out these other First Takes because this was just amazing! ❤❤
Woot woot!!
🥰🥰
好きなグループの曲に反応してくれてあり😊❤️
❤❤❤
Al fin reaccionan a Slump 😭, ahora solo me falta esperar Neverending Story
You must watch all skz content at first take 😊
That’s definitely on the agenda!! 😊
If you're doing the mixtapes can you also do 'mixtape spin-off' unveil track? It's the mashup skz did of mixtapes 1-4 as a teaser for the yellow wood album and is one my faves.
So TOP is the opening song to an anime called Tower of God and SLUMP is the ending song to the same anime Tower of God. Personally, I prefer SLUMP. SLUMP is probably my favorite Han Jisung song ever. Its so meaningful. Han wrote this in a time where he was really down. Music is an outlet for Han and usually writing helps him but at the time, he was in such a bad place that he didn't even want to write. Making music used to make him happy but instead it did the opposite and made him not want to make music. His slump was so bad that Han was considering whether or not he still wanted to be an idol. Luckily 3Racha and the rest of Stray Kids were there for him and supported him and Han was able to overcome his slump and find his love for music again
Hello! How are doing? I was waiting for your reaction today! It has been part of my weekly rutine now! 😁 So " You can stay" is one of the sweetest songs of them! It looks like "#Love Stay" . I really love it! "Top" is one of my favorite song really! I loveeee it! There's a korean MV as well that is slightly deferent than the japanese one! And yeah I thing it must be the intro of the anime because "Slump" is indeed the outro! I love "Slump" as well! Their vocals is just incredible! First take is indeed an 1 take live and they absolutely killed it! They sound sooo amazing and It's sooo impresive that they are flawless despide they were nervous. Stray Kids have done two more First takes for " Mixtape Oh" and "Scars" soo you shloud definatly check those as well! Anyways! See you at your next video. Hope you have a nice week! Bye! 🥰
Hello 🥰!! Oh there's a korean MV too? We'll have to watch that as well. Omg they have so many MVs haha. We're going to have to check out their other First Takes too because that was AMAZING!
As always I love your videos. Honestly I listen to the English version of slump hits so different. I would love it if you could react to that.
Thank you 🥺 we definitely want to get to the English versions too! ❤️
I love this song also your reaction. Also han wrote slump and this also have an eng ver. and this was the time han wrote it when it seems like he dont want to write anymore I think i forgot all it means eh maybe some other stay might say it to you here. Also if you will start to the mixtape # you should also react to 3racha to see how the difference.
I guess those songs are short (top and slump) because are opening and ending for an anime xD But omg, Slump is a masterpiece. It always makes me tear up a bit(?) shyagsa There're first takes for Scars (another japanese song) and Mixtape: Oh, I hope you can check them. If I'm correct, Slump was wrotte by Han when he was going through a heavy anxiety episode.
Oh! If you check Scars, I heavely recommend u to ckeck the performance ver. video too!🥺You'll not regret it(?)
Thanks for the video!
I have no idea what Hyunjin is wearing in the First Take Slump video, but he still looks amazing.
As he always does ✨
Wihoeeee another reaction again! I'm always so happy when you post another SKZ reaction haha ^^
I love the video for You Can Stay. It's so telling how much they loved Stay back then and when you look at the concert footage from this weekend (you've probably seen A LOT on your timeline lol), those sparkly eyes never change haha.
Yes, TOP is the intro and Slump is the outtro haha. I can't say exactly what the Animé is about, honestly never watched it haha.
TOP has a special performance video, which shows most of the choreo! ruclips.net/video/KKIB-5ammJw/видео.html
TOP is such a jam, though. I can vibe on all three versions, honestly.
Slump is another song written by 'ya boi' Han. He was truly going through a Slump, creatively where nothing would work for him. I'm so proud that he got through it by writing this masterpiece of a song!
I'd like to say that you should wait and combine Mixtape On Track, The Unveil of B ME (from In Life, unfortenately didn't get a MV), Mixtape OH and The View (from Noeasy) in one reaction, because they have a specific storyline (outside of their main one lol). The other ones you can combine in one reaction! I don't have any video recommendations for those mixtapes, so I'll leave that for someone else haha.
Oh boy have we. I've seen so many clips LOL. We've been so busy we haven't had as much time to mess around on twitter recently 😭but even with that we've caught a fair few concert clips. They're so unserious I love them 🤣
"Ya boi" 🤣! We should have figured that out. This song screams of Han. Haha someone else in the comments said that because Slump is so short they put all three versions back to back when they listen. I'm still laughing over that (and how genius it is). The way this song came about both breaks me and heals me at the same time 😭
Hmm okay thank you I will look into that. I'm making notes of everyone's suggestions so we can see what the best thing to do is. I had no idea there was a mini story going on in these songs. They're really doing the most (and we love it)
"My Side" MV please, it was from their first album, was released in 2018, though I think you already have it in your list....
I love The First Take. If it's possible, please react to the others songs on the First Take as well 🥰
Patreon idea: react to Tower of God 💜
We have to react the other First Takes as well because this one was just amazing!!
Hiii ❤️ ! I hope you are both doing well and that you're still be happy at the end of this comment...... don't ask you'll see why.
So first little correction Top and Slump have 3 versions : english and japanese yes and korean too (they sing the korean at their concerts). And Top is in fact the opening and Slump the ending
And second about the mixtapes they all have something :
- Mixtape 1/Placebo special video (watch a lyric video after because the special video is not with the whole song)
- Mixtape 2/Behind the light a MV
- Mixtape 3/For you a MV
- Mixtape 4/Broken compass a street version
- Mixtape on track a MV
- Mixtape gone days a MV
- Mixtape Oh a MV
- Mixtape Time out a MV
You can stay !
I always thought that this song was released at the perfect moment. It's a song that comfort stays and skz and it was released just after Woojin left.
And the majority, if not all, the clips of them crying actually come from their first concert after Woojin left. Woojin left when they were touring and they felt that stays might leave them so they cried.
Something I really love about Stray kids and that not other idol groups have is their relationship with the fans. The way Stray kids really think that everything they have is thanks to stays. They always put stays above anyone or anything.
Top !
Fun fact this song was the first skz songs I ever heard 3 years ago but I'm only a 1 year old stay......
But I love this song and I'm so happy that I still know the lyrics of the chorus and the first lines of the song ! (Because I'm way better at japanese than korean).
Top MV (and skz japense MVs in general) is so beautiful and one of my favorite ! The best skz MV is with no doubt Scars ! But Top is so impressive too !
And the choreography ! I never saw it fully but I love all the little part I saw !
Slump !!
Okay now comes the depressing part !
But first let me talk about the first take ! The first take is a japanese channel ! Stray kids were the first korean idol to ever sing on this show with Slump in 2020 ! And 1 year after they were the first korean artists to sing in korean with Mixtape Oh !
Okay now the story behind Slump. Slump is Han's song. At some point in his career he started to hate music. He didn't know what to do so Chan told him to write what he felt. Then later when Han was feeling better they arranged the lyrics and composed a song and you got Slump.
I knew the japanese version but the first time I heard the english version I couldn't stop crying for hours, one of the reason being that I knew the story behind the lyrics. But another reason is that the english lyrics are way more devastating. After that for months I was listening to this song everyday, the english version. Fun fact about me I always prefer the first version I heard and basically hate all the other versions. But Slump is the only exception, I only and will only listen to the english version.
This little story about Slump is basically the only reason as to why Han's song are so important to me.
Hi!! Oh no.. please don't make us cry.. are you going to make us sad?
Wow okay 3 versions.... 🔥
Thank you for the Mixtape line up. I'm taking notes currently from you and all of the comments we've gotten so we can make sure we get to as much as possible. We appreciate it ❤!!!
You can STAY
Ahh we forgot about the time period this was released during. They must have gone through so much heartache. Both skz and stays 💔❤
Top
Oh! So you heard this song before you became a stay! Can you speak Japanese too? That's fun! We need to see the full choreo for this one. We really are going to have the best time when we check out more of their dance practices 🤣
Slump
That's so amazing! Congratulations to SKZ for that accomplishment. This is the first time we've ever seen something from this channel!!
Ah you're right, that hurts to hear. I'm glad he had someone like Chan to guide him in the right direction. No wonder the lyrics are so clear. Han hit it out of the park once again! I'm glad he was able to overcome it in the end 😭 I still want to give him a big hug though.
@@NewChapterReactions I learn a little bit of japanese by myself so I can understand the general topic of a conversation and I have an okay accent when I speak !
Han actually wrote Slump...when he was in a slump.
He got across the feeling of being in a slump so eloquently, as he always does with his emotions 🥺
i wondered if i should leave a comment about this for a while now, as u guys got closer to mixtape: on track, but i figured i might as well say something so u guy can decide for urself. maybe someone already told y'all this, (since i remember guys also have ppl telling you which things to watch, and i thought those ppl def did a great job). but so! i know u guys are doing things chronologically (and i love that! i think u can see how they developed their sounds so clearly when u do it that way), but some videos (like ones with the 2 moons) also have a connecting story. i mentioned mixtape: on track bc that was one of the mv that started one storyline (that i personally call the "film club au" in my head XDDD). but basically the storyline of THAT universe goes in the order of: 1. mixtape: on track 2. b me unveil 3. mixtape: OH 4. the view
SOOOOOo if u guys want, watching all t hose together might make it easier to figure out the storyline, but that's up to y'all!
other thaan that i agree with the other comment that suggest u guys listen to the mixtape and the og 3racha version side by side, coz it's pretty cool to see how the song changed from the 3racha version
oh! also, i dont know if these r on ur lists, but i hope u guys check out their osts too! i dont think neverending story has an mv, but they did have a stage for that one. there's' also hello stranger (but i can't remember when that one came out in terms of the chronology of the kids' discography)
Thank you so much 🥰! Since we've had a few people mention that these mixtapes go together in this order we'll be sure to make sure we watch them this way. And we would love to get into their OSTs!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Suggestion for Mixtape reactions - Mixtape 2 is one of my favorite songs (among the other 50 or so Stray Kids songs that are my favorites 😂) It is based on an original version by 3Racha which I think is really important. Hearing the 3Racha version gives a lot of insight into the struggles they had before Stray Kids and how far they’ve come. I love hearing the changes that they made to the song once they found the rest of the boys 🥰 Whether you listen to the OT8 or the original version (or both 🤷♀️) I would love to see your reaction to the 3Racha version! - If There’s a Shadow, There Must Be Light

Have you watched behind the light (mixtape #2)?
Not yet! But since we're about to get into the mixtapes it should be soon.
@@NewChapterReactions Yeay thank you!!
