Stray Kids is an adrenaline-pumping pep talk set to pounding beats. The group shouts out their mission to carve their own path, racing toward โplaces still unknownโ on a metaphorical Hellevator that only goes up. Money and fame are tempting, yet the members decide that the real treasure is their unbreakable team spirit and the music they create on their own terms. The repeated line โStray Kids still gonna rockโ drives home their fearless attitude: they will keep running, keep dreaming, and keep making noise no matter what the world thinks.
At its heart, the song is a celebration of self-belief and resilience. The lyrics acknowledge past strugglesโsleepless nights, inner conflicts, and dark tunnelsโbut flip them into fuel for a brighter future. By refusing to โgive a what,โ Stray Kids encourage listeners to stay true to themselves, trust their companions, and sprint toward their goals without looking back. It is an empowering reminder that the journey may be tough, yet every step counts, and the rhythm never stops.
