JYP Entertainment has announced that Stray Kids will release a new digital album, SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt. 1, on August 1, 2026 as part of the group’s “STAYweeK” celebrations.

“STAYweeK” is a yearly, weeklong series of activities held by Stray Kids for their fans, culminating on the anniversary of the naming of their fandom, STAY. This year, the final release on August 1 is a new digital album, which will see solo songs previously unveiled on YouTube or during special tour stops made available for streaming on music platforms.

SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt. 1 will consist of 17 songs, led by the Korean version of Japanese B-side “Battle Ground” initially released on THE SOUND in 2023. Songs included from Stray Kids’ “SKZ-RECORD” YouTube series include HAN’s “Raining stars,” Bang Chan’s “Roman Empire” and Seungmin’s “Into The Current” alongside others from Hyunjin and I.N. The remainder of the album’s tracklist is made-up of special performances seen during the 5-STAR Dome Tour 2023, and concludes with “STAY,” which was first released as a single in celebration of the group’s 8th anniversary in March.

As is typical for Stray Kids, each song contains contributions from the members themselves. The group’s production trio 3RACHA have participated the most; Bang Chan, HAN, and Changbin are listed in the credits of 12 of the 17 songs collectively. These contributions have always given Stray Kids an edge in the industry, as it allows their own creative intentions to lead their musical direction.

Here, on a SKZ-REPLAY album, that edge is even more significant, as these songs were largely not intended for streaming services or inclusion on physical albums. Instead, they contain a personal touch, intended for fans and inspired by various anecdotes. Seungmin’s “Into The Current” and “Still here,” for example, were written by HAN and Changbin respectively following Seungmin’s personal request to receive one song from each of the group’s songwriters.

Notably, SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt. 1 is not the only upcoming release from Stray Kids. The group are gearing up for a comeback with 10th mini album THIS & THAT, which is scheduled for August 7. Last weekend they also kicked off a new world tour in Seoul, titled <RUN IT>, following the release of the single “RUN IT” in June. Combined with SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt. 1 and other celebration content - a cafe in Seoul, a short-form video series, and behind the scenes footage - STAYs will have no shortage of activities to look forward to.

Given the “Pt. 1” identifier in the album’s name, fans can also expect further SKZ-REPLAY albums later this year.
