Ignite the night with CEREMONY (Festival Version), an electrifying track from Stray Kids’ fourth studio album KARMA, released on August 22, 2025. This vibrant reimagining of the album’s lead single, produced by 3RACHA with Versachoi, amplifies the original’s K-pop energy with festival-ready beats, pulsating synths, and the group’s signature fiery vocals.
Building on the cinematic intensity of MOUNTAINS from ATE and the rebellious edge of MEGAVERSE from ROCK-STAR, this version transforms CEREMONY into a global party anthem, set against KARMA’s futuristic “2081 KARMA SPORTS” narrative. Lyrics tease a triumphant celebration, urging fans to join the “red smoke and blue confetti” spectacle. This track feels like a stadium exploding with joy—pure Stray Kids magic! Dance to CEREMONY (Festival Version) lyrics below, and join the KARMA celebration.

Lyrics of CEREMONY (Festival Version) by Stray Kids
[Intro]
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip, Hip-hip
Yuh, Yuh, Yuh, Yuh
[Verse 1]
We’re Moving Forward With Maximum Power
And We’re Gonna Dominate, Pop It
장식하지, Big News, Topic
경험치는 수많은 Trophy
No One, Nobody Can Stop Me
수많은 억까는 도움닫기
Jump Up, Jump Up
Like A Pop-up, Toaster, Lift
[Pre-Chorus]
Working Off Time
That Ratio Got Us Going Worldwide (Worldwide)
Thirsty Day And Night
They Put Us In The Desert But We Survive
Busy Giving Our Light
Unlike Them, We’re Getting All The Spotlight
Listen To The War Cry
Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma
[Chorus]
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip, Hip-hip
Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma
Ceremony
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip (Hooray)
Ceremony
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip (Hooray)
[Verse 2]
We Did It, 소리 질러, Wow
Slide, 반지 Kiss, Muah
받아 내 상 마치 부케
봐라 내 두 손은 두둑해
바쁠 때 눈코 뜰 새가 없대
But That’s Okay, 소감을 또 준비해
I Feel Like 우주
붕, 붕, 붕 (Ho)
[Refrain]
You And I, Let’s Go Celebrate
이 상태는 엄청나
삐끗삐끗 터지는 Emergency
We Don’t Care, Show You 나 버젓이
여기저기, Look At Our Paradise
어디까지 갈지 예상 밖이야
시끌시끌 북적해
우리 근처는 언제나 소음 발생이야
[Pre-Chorus]
Working Off Time
That Ratio Got Us Going Worldwide (Worldwide)
Thirsty Day And Night
They Put Us In The Desert But We Survive
Busy Giving Our Light
Unlike Them, We’re Getting All The Spotlight
Listen To The War Cry
Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma
[Chorus]
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip (Hooray)
Hip-hip, Hip-hip
Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma
Ceremony
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip (Hooray)
Ceremony
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip, Hip (Hooray)
