SKZ-Replay 2026 Pt.1

Stray Kids dropped their fourth compilation album, SKZ-Replay 2026 Pt.1, on August 1, 2026, as a digital gift for the eighth anniversary of their fan club Stay. The release capped off the "STAYweeK" celebration that ran from July 26 to August 1, serving as a bridge between their past work and upcoming projects like the mini-album This & That. This collection gathers tracks originally featured in the group's self-produced video series SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record, alongside live solo performances recorded during their 2023 5-Star Dome Tour.

The project features 17 tracks blending hip-hop, EDM, and ballads, showcasing the members' songwriting abilities. While early promotions hinted at a 15-song lineup, the final tracklist expanded to include all eight members performing solo pieces. Highlights include Bang Chan's "Roman Empire," Hyunjin's "LOVER," and Han's "Raining Stars." The title track "Battle Ground" appears here in its Korean version, anchoring the group's dynamic before shifting focus to individual artistic identities.

JYP Entertainment and Republic Records distributed the album exclusively through streaming platforms without a physical format announcement. Critics noted how the compilation successfully integrated raw tour recordings into a polished studio experience. The release coincided with the launch of the RUN IT World Tour, further connecting the music to the group's global expansion efforts. [edit]
