What does it take to turn the game around at halftime? Stray Kids’ explosive track Half Time from their latest 2025 album KARMA answers with a fierce blend of hip-hop swagger, EDM drops, and their signature genre-defying intensity. Known for chart-toppers like God’s Menu and Maniac, Stray Kids have mastered high-energy anthems that mix bold lyricism with cinematic production, and Half Time is no exception. Its relentless rhythm and themes of perseverance echo the group’s journey, much like the defiance in Back Door or the ambition in Thunderous. The KARMA album, teased through snippets like Walking on Water and Bang Chan’s introspective reveals, promises a narrative of resilience and bold moves, with Half Time setting the stage for a comeback that’s only just begun.
This track’s pulsating beats and confident wordplay align with KARMA’s other teasers, which explore themes of growth, defiance, and destiny. As fans buzz over the album’s impending drop, Half Time delivers a stadium-ready vibe that’s both a battle cry and a celebration. Ready to unpack its electrifying lyrics and hidden meanings?

Lyrics of Half Time by Stray Kids in English Translation
[Pre-Chorus]
They Don’t Know What’s Coming Next
Tactical Movin’
Twist After Twist, All Connected
Trippin’ And Trippin’, Trappin’ A Huge Success
Even If I Crash And Fall, There’s No Trouble On My Way-Ay
Countless Steps Will Create The Result
[Chorus]
I’m At The Half Time, Play Time
Now I’m (Now I’m) Just Getting Started
At My Prime Time
No, I’m (No, I’m) Not Gonna Stop It Now
Let The Cheers Explode, Get Out My Way
We Haven’t Even Crossed Yet To The Next Chapter
Rising Up A Syndrome, This Is Our Play
Twists On Twists In The First Half
[Verse 2]
We’re Not Done Yet, Even If We Run All Night
The Match Won’t End, It’s Much Vaster
The Play Keeps Growing, We Go Vamos
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro
From The Starting Line Already Taking It All
Won’t Fall Down, I Won’t Fall Down
I’ma Move On, Even If It Fails, I’ll Double It Back
Thinking You Caught Up For A Moment, Ha
[Pre-Chorus]
They Don’t Know What’s Coming Next
Tactical Movin’
Twist After Twist, All Connected
Trippin’ And Trippin’, Trappin’ A Huge Success
Even If I Crash And Fall, There’s No Trouble On My Way-Ay
Countless Steps Will Create The Result
[Chorus]
I’m At The Half Time, Play Time
Now I’m (Now I’m) Just Getting Started
At My Prime Time
No, I’m (No, I’m) Not Gonna Stop It Now
Let The Cheers Explode, Get Out My Way
We Haven’t Even Crossed Yet To The Next Chapter
Rising Up A Syndrome, This Is Our Play
Twists On Twists In The First Half
[Bridge]
Burn The Sweat Off My Face
I’m Always Ready At My Pace
So Even If I Fall, All The Galaxies Will Know My Name, Yeah
Breaking The Frame Of Every Move, Curving
Let My Moves Just Go, I Serve It
Even Full Of Anxiety, I Won’t Yield, Just Dribbling
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m At The Half Time, (Half Time) Show Time (Show Time)
Now, I’m (Now, I’m) Just Getting Started
At My (At My) Prime Time
I’m Not Gonna Stop
Even If I Crash And Fall, There’s No Trouble On My Way-Ay
Countless Steps Will Create The Result, Oh
