The mashup, a beloved Stray Kids signature teaser format that blends snippets of every track into one seamless, high-octane listening experience, has once again proven to be a major hype-builder. In the newly released clip, the group mixes seven songs from the forthcoming project — including previously teased tracks “RUN IT,” “FARMING,” “I Do,” “After You,” “그날,” “Way Out,” and the title track “This & That” — into a fresh, summer-charged medley.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a fictional “This & That” café selling an array of colorful drinks, the video bursts with refreshing visual flair. Smooth transitions, fizzing carbonation effects, fireworks, bold street-style illustrations, and a cool yet dynamic retro-EDM color palette create a playful, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matches the season. The result is a refreshing “one-shot” of Stray Kids’ signature sound that has left fans eagerly awaiting the full release.
According to reports, the mini album THIS & THAT, scheduled for release at 1 p.m. KST on August 7, will contain eight tracks in total. In addition to the seven songs featured in the mashup, the project will also include a “This & That (Festival Version).”
The timing of the mashup could not be more perfect. Stray Kids are currently kicking off their new world tour with five consecutive sold-out shows at Seoul’s KSPO Dome on July 25, 26, 29, and August 1–2. The combination of live performances and this highly anticipated album teaser has only heightened excitement among fans.
As STAYs continue to stream and rewatch the mashup on loop, the message is clear: Stray Kids are once again delivering the kind of creative, high-energy preview that has become a hallmark of their comeback eras. With the full album just weeks away, the wait for THIS & THAT has never felt more electric.
