Stray Kids are set to release their latest digital single, "Mixtape : dominATE", on March 21 at 1 PM KST across major streaming platforms. Ahead of the official release, the group has been unveiling teaser content under the "UNVEIL: TRACK" series, generating anticipation among global fans.

On March 17, JYP Entertainment dropped the third teaser video featuring Bang Chan and Hyunjin’s track, "ESCAPE." The video presents a striking visual narrative, with the duo appearing in a desolate, ash-colored world. Their introspective gazes and subtle expressions convey a profound sense of yearning and restlessness.

The teaser captures raw, instinctive moments—Bang Chan and Hyunjin sprinting through dust-filled landscapes, laughing into the empty air, and watching a tiny fish swim freely in an aquarium. These scenes metaphorically illustrate the struggles of youth and the longing for liberation.

"ESCAPE" is an alternative R&B track, blending dreamy electric guitar riffs with a hypnotic reggae rhythm. Both Bang Chan and Hyunjin participated in the songwriting and production, adding a personal touch to the composition. The track is expected to showcase a mature, sensuous atmosphere, contrasting with their previous collaboration on "Red Lights" (from the 2021 album "NOEASY"), which highlighted their intense and wild charm.

Stray Kids have been steadily building excitement for their upcoming release, celebrating their 7th debut anniversary on March 25 with a special digital single. Each teaser has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from fans worldwide.

The previously released teasers for "Burnin’ Tires" (Changbin & I.N) and "Truman" (Han & Felix), which dropped on March 15 and 16, respectively, quickly climbed the global YouTube music video trending charts, securing third and fourth place as of March 17.

As Stray Kids continue to push creative boundaries, their latest project is expected to further cement their reputation as self-producing artists with a distinct musical identity. Fans eagerly await March 21, when "Mixtape : dominATE" will be fully unveiled.
