Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT: Full Tracklist, Release Time, and Where to Stream (2026)

Stray Kids just dropped their tenth mini album, and for once the title track isn’t the only thing STAYs are arguing about online.

THIS & THAT landed at 1 PM KST on August 7, eight tracks deep, with the group’s own production team credited across the entire thing. That’s the short version. The tracklist, the streaming links, and the comeback-day logistics take a bit more unpacking.

When Does THIS & THAT Actually Drop?

Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT arrived at 1 PM KST on August 7, 2026, across Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest of the platforms the group already uses for comebacks. The rollout started weeks earlier — Forbes reported the June 21 announcement that paired the new album with a fresh world tour, and the pre-release single RUN IT followed on June 24.

None of that timeline is unusual for this group. What’s inside the album is the part worth slowing down for.

What Songs Are on the THIS & THAT Tracklist?

THIS & THAT packs eight songs onto Stray Kids’ tenth mini album, opening with the pre-release single RUN IT and closing with a festival remix of the title track.

Every track, title song included, is credited to 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — Stray Kids’ in-house writing and production unit. When I cross-checked the tracklist the group posted against independent K-pop database listings, the order and titles matched exactly, right down to the parenthetical festival-version credit on track eight.

That in-house credit isn’t a new detail for Stray Kids, but it’s part of why the group’s sound has stayed consistent across the last few eras instead of swinging between outside producers.

Is RUN IT Already Signaling How This Era Will Chart?

RUN IT, the single Stray Kids released ahead of THIS & THAT, opened at No. 9 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart in late June — the group’s fifth-highest debut on that chart to date. For context, the group’s previous album DO IT gave them their eighth No. 1 on the Billboard 200, so the bar this era is chasing is already high.

When I compared RUN IT’s opening number to the group’s earlier singles, No. 9 read as solidly mid-pack for them — not the automatic new record a comeback teaser video might imply.

Pre-release chart debuts rarely predict how a title track performs once the full album is out. STAYs treat RUN IT and This & That as separate contests, and the group’s own promotion schedule tends to shift hard toward the title track the moment the album drops.

How Does This Fit Into Stray Kids’ Packed 2026?

THIS & THAT is Stray Kids’ third major release cycle of 2026, following DO IT earlier in the year and the RUN IT single that led into this one. That’s an unusually fast pace even for a group known for one.

Most acts at this stage of a career space full album eras out to protect chart performance — flooding the market with too much material too fast tends to split a fanbase’s streaming numbers instead of building momentum. Stray Kids has mostly avoided that problem by keeping pre-release singles short and treating them as a separate contest from the title track, which is part of why RUN IT landing at a solid-but-not-record-setting No. 9 didn’t read as a warning sign in the way it might for a group releasing less often.

You’ll probably notice this pattern more the longer you follow the group: a pre-release single lands, does respectably, and gets treated as a preview rather than the main event. Fans who’ve been tracking every 2026 comeback across the industry have flagged this specific era as one of the busiest comeback stretches in recent memory, and Stray Kids releasing three separate chart-eligible projects inside eight months is a big part of why.

None of that guarantees THIS & THAT will outperform DO IT. It does mean the group is betting on volume and consistency rather than waiting years between eras — a strategy that works until it doesn’t.

Where Can You Stream THIS & THAT Right Now?

THIS & THAT is live on every major platform Stray Kids already releases through — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Melon for listeners in Korea — as of 1 PM KST on August 7. KpopOfficial’s album listing confirms the same eight-track lineup across formats, including the CD and digital versions.

JYP Entertainment is also running event tie-ins around the release. According to coverage of the rollout and a separate breakdown of the album versions, that includes a pop-up store running from August 8 through August 20 in Seoul and a one-night lighting event at Namsan Seoul Tower on release night.

If you’re outside Korea and just want the music, none of that pop-up logistics changes anything for you. The streaming links are the only part you actually need.

What Should New Listeners Do on Release Day?

New listeners get the most out of comeback day by starting with the title track and RUN IT back to back, then working through the rest of the album in order.

• Stream through official platforms first — first-day numbers count toward chart eligibility, unofficial re-uploads don’t.
• Save the Festival Version for later. It’s built for live sets, not a replacement for the studio title track.
• Check your local release time. 1 PM KST lands in the late evening the day before for most of the US and mid-morning for most of Europe.
• Look for the official music video as a separate upload from the audio-only tracks — some platforms split the two.

Honestly, that’s usually enough to avoid the most common first-week mistakes.

Where Do International STAYs Usually Hit Snags?

International fans most often lose chart-eligible streams by playing songs through unofficial re-uploads instead of the artist’s official platform listing.

• Region locking — some platform listings roll out a few hours later outside Korea, which looks like a broken link but usually isn’t.
• Looping one track on repeat instead of playing through the album — several tracking systems weight full-album plays differently than single-song loops.
• Physical album pre-orders shipping later than digital drops, especially for addresses outside Asia.
• Mixing up the Festival Version with a separate single — it’s the same title track, not new material.

This part trips up more new fans than anything else during comeback week.

FAQ

Is the Festival Version of This & That a separate single?

No. It’s an alternate mix of the title track included as track eight on the same THIS & THAT mini album, not a standalone release you need to track down separately.

Did Stray Kids write THIS & THAT themselves?

Yes. 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — is credited on writing and production for every track on the album, title song included.

How does RUN IT’s chart debut compare to Stray Kids’ other pre-release singles?

RUN IT opened at No. 9 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart, the group’s fifth-highest debut there. Solid, but not their best pre-release opening — the title track still has room to outperform it.

Chart positions and release-week details can shift as new data comes in — check Billboard’s own chart pages and Stray Kids’ official channels for the most current numbers before citing a specific rank elsewhere. Fact-checked based on public sources as of August 7, 2026.
