STRAY KIDS has announced the imminent arrival of another self-produced, masterpiece-worthy album with a mashup video from their upcoming studio release.
In the lead-up to the release of their fourth full-length album “KARMA” on August 22, JYP Entertainment has been rolling out high-quality teaser content on the group’s official social media channels, including trailers, teaser images, and “UNVEIL : TRACK” segments. On the afternoon of August 13, the group released their signature teaser video, “Stray Kids ‘KARMA’ Mashup Video,” giving fans an early listen to snippets from the new tracks and ramping up excitement for their comeback.
The video features segments from nine tracks included on the album: the title track “Ceremony,” “삐처리,” “Credd,” “엉망 (MESS),” “In my head,” “반전 (Half Time),” “Phoenix,” “Ghost,” and “0801.” Built on an EDM foundation and edited into a mashup, the video delivers a burst of energy and a refreshing sense of speed, evoking the feeling of cutting through the midsummer heat. Visual effects using logos and graphic elements representing each track, phoenix wings for “Phoenix,” a whistle for “Half Time,” fireworks for “Ceremony”, along with behind-the-scenes portrait cuts of the eight members, add an extra layer of viewing enjoyment.
The new album “KARMA” will feature 11 tracks in total: the nine songs from the mashup video, plus “Ceremony (Festival Version)” and “Ceremony (English Version).” As with all their albums since debut, the group’s in-house producing team 3RACHA, BANG CHAN, CHANGBIN, and HAN, is credited on every track, imprinting the music with STRAY KIDS’ distinctive style.
This marks their first new project in about eight months, following “SKZHOP HIPTAPE 合 (HOP),” which earned the group its sixth consecutive No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and its first studio album in about two years since “★★★★★ (5-STAR)” in June 2023. Having successfully wrapped up its largest world tour to date, “Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE’”, which ran for nearly 11 months from August 2024 to July 2025, STRAY KIDS, recognized as “aces” of the global music scene, are now set to showcase new music and upgraded performances that have fans’ full attention.
The fourth studio album “KARMA” and its title track “Ceremony” will be released simultaneously worldwide on August 22 at 1 p.m. KST / 12 a.m. EST.
