When worlds collide, magic happens—“In The Dark” throws DJ Snake and Stray Kids together in one genre-defying anthem from the upcoming “Nomad” album, and the anticipation is off the charts. The song’s haunting energy, fusing Snake’s signature electronic pulse with Stray Kids’ intense K-pop vocals, promises to set off shockwaves when it drops November 7, 2025.
“In The Dark” stands out as the most talked-about collab on “Nomad.” Snake’s dark, atmospheric production sets the mood, choosing deep bass and textured synths to frame Stray Kids’ powerful voices and dynamic delivery. This East-meets-West link-up isn’t just a crossover—it’s a melting pot of influences, with both artists eager to push boundaries. Stray Kids’ fans are buzzing about the dramatic tone, while EDM lovers can’t wait to hear Snake’s distinct touch applied to the K-pop group’s sound.
The story behind this collaboration began in Paris, at the 2024 Gala des Pièces Jaunes, where the instant spark between DJ Snake and Stray Kids led to talk of teaming up. That impulsive connection has now become “In The Dark,” which features as track six on “Nomad”—an album packed with wild collaborations from across the globe, including J Balvin, Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and Future. The full album is a bold, borderless journey through electronic, Latin, and urban influences, showing off Snake’s evolution from the French underground to global pioneer.
For Stray Kids, this marks another leap into the international spotlight, following Billboard chart-topping albums and record-breaking tours. For DJ Snake, “Nomad” is a manifesto of artistic freedom, with each track embodying his search for new sounds and stories. With its blend of moody synths and raw emotion, “In The Dark” encapsulates both artists’ restless drive to reinvent themselves—and the wild energy that happens when they meet halfway.

Lyrics of In The Dark by DJ Snake & Stray Kids
[Intro]
(Ooh)
[Verse 1: Seungmin, Bang Chan]
In The Parking Lot In Your Homie’s Drop Top
Just A Couple Blocks From Where We Grew Up
All The Summer Nights We Were Ridin’ Blind
Going Way Too Fast
Down The Boulevard With The Windows Wound Down
I Went In The Car And We’re Getting Real Loud
All Those Stubborn Nights With Some Bad Advice
We Were Almost Right
[Pre-Chorus: Lee Know]
‘Til We Weren’t
The Radio Still Works
Locked Into Your Frequency
And This Still Hurts
[Chorus: Felix, Hyunjin]
I Don’t Wanna Live Another Day Without You In The Dark
Tried To Ride Alone, But I Had No Clue, 너 없인 난 Hopeless
Long Drives Don’t Feel The Same Without You In The Dark
Green Lights Telling Me To Go And My Gps Was Broken, Broken, Broken
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, Oh-oh)
(Oh)
(Oh, Oh; Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 2: Changbin, Han]
I Don’t Meditate, So Why You Gotta Take
Up Hella Space In My Mind?
If Love Was Real Estate, 지켜보려 해
The Words Are Gonna Break Over Time
Only Then We Knew
Maybe We’d Be Cool
With The Sweet And Bitter Taste
Falling Out Of Place
Rolling With The Waves
[Pre-Chorus: I.N]
‘Til We Weren’t
The Radio Still Works
Locked Into Your Frequency
And This Still Hurts
[Chorus: Felix, Hyunjin]
I Don’t Wanna Live Another Day Without You In The Dark
Tried To Ride Alone, But I Had No Clue, 너 없인 난 Hopeless
Long Drives Don’t Feel The Same Without You In The Dark
Green Light’s Telling Me To Go And My Gps Was Broken, Broken, Broken
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, Oh-oh (Oh)
Oh-oh (Oh)
Oh, Oh-oh (Oh)
Oh
