Stray Kids are gearing up for their explosive return with SKZ IT TAPE: DO IT, dropping November 21, 2025, via JYP Entertainment, and Holiday is already shaping up as that feel-good breather amid the chaos. As track three in this five-song mini, it slots right after the double title bangers Do It and DIVINE (신선놀음), promising a shift from high-octane energy to something lighter, maybe a nod to escaping the grind for those rare moments of joy.
With the group’s signature 3RACHA—Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—helming production credits across the board, expect Holiday to blend their raw hip-hop roots with pop hooks that stick.
Teasers hit hard last week, with black-and-white IT 🖤 images dropping for each member, Lee Know’s in particular sparking fan edits of him channeling that effortless cool against snowy backdrops—perfect for a track titled Holiday. It’s got everyone guessing: winter vibes? A cheeky take on downtime in their nonstop schedule?
Early buzz on X has STAYs pre-saving in droves, with posts like “Holiday gonna be the one we blast on repeat post-comeback” lighting up timelines. This comes hot on the heels of their Karma domination, where they shattered records, so DO IT feels like Stray Kids doubling down on that self-produced fire, turning personal stories into anthems that hit global.
From the trailer glimpses, the album’s “modern-day divines” theme weaves through, and Holiday could be the spark that grounds it all—think crisp beats meeting heartfelt lyrics about recharging amid the spotlight. Whether it’s a festive flex or just a call to unplug, it’s primed to join the ranks of their instant classics like Thunderous. With festival and overdrive versions of Do It teased for later drops, this tape’s built for every mood, proving why Stray Kids keep rewriting the playbook.
Dive into the HOLIDAY lyrics below and unpack its escapist vibe. Don’t miss other DO IT tracks for more of Stray Kids’ unstoppable spark.

Lyrics of Holiday by Stray Kids
[Pre-Chorus: Lee Know, Felix, I.N, Hyunjin]
I Just Wanna Feel The Sun Bring Me To Life (Oh, Woah)
I Just Wanna See Me Run Under The Light (Light)
Without A Thought In My Head, I’ma Take A Deep Breath
Just Fill Up My Chest I Don’t Want Any Stress (Oh-oh)
I Just Wanna Be That Bird Flying So High (High)
[Chorus]
Hmm Yeah I’m Sick And Tired As
I’ma Need A Holiday
Need A Holiday, Need A Holiday
I’ve Been Working Hard, No Cap
Yeah Just Let Me Take A Break
Let Me Take A Break, Let Me Take A Break
[Post-Chorus]
Oh I Can’t Go On I’m Just Stuck
Need A Holiday, Need A Holiday
Oh I Can’t Move On I’m So Lost
Let Me Take A Break, Let Me Take A Break
[Verse 2]
Better, Better Day 오겠지
제멋대로 움직였던 기분들 원상태로
지구는 둥근데 내일은 뾰족
모서리에 내가 닿아 터져
My Friends, It’s Been So Hard
Look What We’ve Done It’s So Bright
It’s Time
[Verse 3]
우린 해야 해 그늘 밑 해먹 깔고 Nap
잘게 쪼개진 시간 분 단위로 Flex
치고받고 대신에
주고받어 사랑과 평화 One Love
We Need Some Rest
잃는다면 잃는 대로 다시 채워
We Don’t Care At All
Let Us Take A Break
[Pre-Chorus]
I Just Wanna Feel The Sun Bring Me To Life
I Just Wanna See Me Run Under The Light
Without A Thought In My Head
I’mma Take A Deep Breath
Just Fill Up My Chest
I Don’t Want Any Stress
I Just Wanna Be That Bird Flying So High
[Chorus]
Hmm Yeah I’m Sick And Tired As I’mma Need A Holiday
Need A Holiday, Need A Holiday
I’ve Been Working Hard, No Cap
Yeah Just Let Me Take A Break
Let Me Take A Break, Let Me Take A Break
[Post-Chorus]
Oh I Can’t Go On I’m Just Stuck
Need A Holiday, Need A Holiday
Oh I Can’t Move On I’m So Lost
Let Me Take A Break, Let Me Take A Break
