Stray Kids uploaded the video "Step Out 2021", which describes the group's accomplishments in 2020 and plans for 2021—including a second studio album—.through their social media channels on January 1, 2021. [1] Between April and June of that year, the group participated in the Mnet competitive reality television show Kingdom: Legendary War , in which they competed against other similar groups and emerged as the winner. [2] During the program, they released the song "Wolfgang" on May 28, from the extended play (EP) Kingdom <Final: Who Is the King?> , [3] as part of the final performance competition. [4] This was followed by the single "Mixtape: Oh" on June 26 and the announcement Hyunjin would rejoin the group in July following a hiatus since late February. [5] [6]

On June 29, 2021, the South Korean news outlet SpoTV News reported the group would release an album in late August and hold Kingdom Week, a television-program benefit for the winner. [2] Later, JYP Entertainment confirmed the group were preparing a new album but had not decided its format. Hyunjin would also participate in the new album's promotion. [7] [8] A month later, via the album trailer "Thunderous", the group announced their second studio album would be titled Noeasy and was scheduled for release on August 23, 2021, marking their first Korean physical release in 11 months. [9] [10]

Before the album announcement, in early July, Stray Kids released SKZ Camp Song: Howl in Harmony, a five-episode camp-type online program that documents the group's song-creation process and the making of music videos for them. [11] They group were separated into three teams: Quokka Bbang Daengi (Han, Seungmin, I.N; formerly Margarine Bbang) to write the song "Gone Away"; [12] Yeoreum Wangja (Lee Know, Changbin, Felix) for "Surfin'"; [13] and Bekka Wang (Bang Chan, Hyunjin) for "Red Lights". [14] [11] In early April, the group also teased the B-side "Sorry, I Love You" on their V Live's live-streaming content Chan's Room, [15] [16] and "The View" was teased as a title on the music video of "Mixtape: Oh" in late June. [17]

Title and concept

The album's title, Noeasy, is a wordplay on "noisy"—describing the misconception of the group's music as "noise music"— [18] [19] and "no easy", reflecting the highs and lows of life. [20] According to Bang Chan; "We [Stray Kids] actually thought the term 'noise music' was something that we could use as our own weapon". [19]

Both interpretations express that despite the group's hardships, they aim to be the noisiest group. [21] Bang Chan, the group leader, told several South Korean news outlets; "[Noeasy] means that we want to leave a loud impact on the world with our music". Seungmin said; "the meaning (of Noeasy) is something like, 'life is not easy because of the naggers who tell us to do this and that, but we are Stray Kids, and we are not backing down' ... " [22]

Music and lyrics

Noeasy is forty-six minutes and thirty-five seconds long, and has fourteen tracks of various music genres. [23] The album's first four tracks are described as hip hop and EDM songs with aggressive bass sounds to represent fighting, and to mock the group's critics and haters. Tracks five through nine are "emotional" songs with pop, rock, and R&B sounds. The album concludes with three sub-unit songs and two previously released songs. [21] [18] [24] All of the tracks were produced and mostly written by Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, who work together as the group's production team 3Racha. Other group members also participated in song writing; Lee Know and Felix co-wrote "Surfin'", Hyunjin co-wrote "Red Lights", and Seungmin and I.N co-wrote "Gone Away". [23] [24] Several other Korean and foreign songwriter-producers, including Versachoi, HotSauce, Hong Ji-sang, and Krysta Youngs, also contributed to the album. [23]

Songs

The Korean title of "Thunderous", "Sori-kkun", is inspired by a singer position of pansori (pictured) of the same name. Korea-Busan 3404-06 Pansori.JPG

Noeasy opens with "Cheese", an EDM track with a "strong" rock] sound, "cheerful" energy, and "rough" bass synth, which uses the word "cheese" as a wordplay to compare smiling with a variety of cheeses. [25] The lyrics include a flippant response to the group's critics. [26] [27] "Thunderous", the second track and the album's lead single, is a hip-hop [18] and trap [18] song that includes elements of Korean traditional music (gugak), brass instruments, and chuimsae . The song expresses the conviction the group will not be discouraged and will maintain their principles despite criticism. The Korean title "Sori-kkun" (소리꾼) has a dual meaning of jansori-kkun (잔소리꾼) meaning "nagger", and sori-kkun (소리꾼) meaning "( pansori 's) singer". [23] [28] [19]

The hip-hop-influenced third track "Domino" [26] begins with a doorbell sound, alluding to the pizza brand; the song also has "intense" beats, "distinctive" sounds, and high-pitched taepyeongso . [29] [27] It compares the group's ambition and confidence to a game of dominoes. The lyrics imply the group's actions encourage other to follow after them in a domino effect. [30] "Ssick", the fourth track, is a mid-tempo [30] hip-hop and EDM song whose title has the dual meaning of "sick", which in English is slang for "good", and the Korean word ssik (씩), which means "grin smile". [24] It references the influence of fame [21] and its attraction, and conveys the message feeling special about oneself is enough. [30]

"The View", the fifth track, is described as a "rhythmic", [27] "summery", [27] [30] and "hopeful healing", [31] upbeat, synth-pop track.

[24] [30] "Sorry, I Love You", the mid-tempo R&B [33] sixth track expresses a feeling of guilt and regret for liking someone and potentially ruining a friendship. [34] [35] The seventh track "Silent Cry" is an alternative rock song about two people who cannot see each other's pain, and offers comfort to the silent, world-weary soul. [24] [30] The eighth track "Secret Secret" is a slow-tempo R&B [26] song that conveys comfort and sympathy with the narrator wanting to tell their secrets to rain. [36] [24] "Star Lost", the dance-pop, [33] soft rock [37] ninth track, is a "feel-good" song with a nostalgic composition [24] [26] that calls on fans who feel alone to believe in themselves. [30]

The upbeat, [38] alternative R&B [39] tenth track was performed by Bang Chan and Hyunjin; "Red Lights" features a "wild" feeling created by "violent" string sounds and electric guitar, giving it a "ripened sexy charm". [14] Its lyrics use the theme of continuing to love someone despite having concerns and suffering, and talk about an unhealthy obsession with work. [38] The summer-vibe, upbeat, dance-pop [40] eleventh track "Surfin'" which is sung by Lee Know, Changbin, Felix, is described as "like a glass of carbonated water" with tropical sounds and marimba beats and lyrics about how having occasional little adventures can heal the soul and mind, allowing one to keep one's lives on track and not solely focus on work. [13] [27] [41] "Gone Away", the twelfth track, is a ballad that describes an unrequited love and the frustration of someone who cannot to be with their lover; it is sung by Han, Seungmin, and I.N. [12] [42]

"Wolfgang", the hip-hop thirteenth track, describes a wolf pack making music by following Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and compares Stray Kids to the pack-hunting behavior of wolves.

[4] The album concludes with "Mixtape: Oh", a mid-tempo electropop song from the Mixtape Project; it has a reggaeton rhythm that describes the frustration of being clumsy and immature in front of the object of one's desire, and expresses feelings of resentment and frustration at those feelings.
