Stray Kids Are Back with "RUN IT" and a New World Tour on the Way
by Vy Le | June 24th, 2026
Stray Kids is back with a pre-release track called "RUN IT," along with a full album, THIS & THAT, set to release on August 7. They're also heading back out on tour starting this July.
It's been almost a year since Stray Kids' last album KARMA, and the wait is finally over. On June 20, they dropped a teaser announcing a pre-release single, a full album, and a tour all at the same time.
In my opinion, "RUN IT" is the perfect song to open this tour. With its repetition and chantable chorus, "woah run it everywhere all around the world," I can already picture how this could work as a show opener and how fans are going to sing along to it. It's also a strong choice for a pre-release single since it sets the mood and the vibe right away. Very captivating, very Stray Kids. I also really like that they brought back "everywhere all around the world" as a recurring theme, since it's something that's been part of their identity since their earlier days.
THIS & THAT is set to release on August 7 and will be their seventh full-length studio album, with eight tracks in total.
The RUN IT World Tour kicks off on July 25 with stops across Asia, including five nights in Seoul, two nights in Tokyo, two nights in Nagoya, two nights in Osaka, one night in Fukuoka, one night in Hong Kong, one night in Taipei, two nights in Bangkok, and two nights in Singapore. They're also set to become the first K-pop act to perform at the Japan National Stadium.
