Stray Kids return to their experimental and energetic side with “FARMING,” the fourth track from their 10th Korean-language mini-album, THIS & THAT.
The song brings back the group’s signature intensity through a bold industrial Hip-Hop sound while adding a clever concept inspired by gaming and modern hustle culture.
Released on August 7, 2026, “FARMING” delivers a fast-paced production filled with powerful rhythms, aggressive flows, and the unpredictable energy that has become a defining feature of Stray Kids’ music. The track contrasts playful ideas with a deeper message about persistence, ambition, and the constant pursuit of success.
The song seeemd created by Stray Kids’ in-house production unit 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — alongside producers RESTART and Chae Kang-hae. Bang Chan also contributed to the final arrangement, helping shape the track’s hard-hitting and dynamic sound.
Using the gaming term “farming” as its central metaphor, Stray Kids compare their nonstop dedication to repeatedly collecting experience points, resources, and rewards in a game. The members transform the concept into a reflection of their own journey, highlighting the discipline, effort, and sacrifices behind their achievements.
The track was introduced before the album release through JYP Entertainment’s “UNVEIL : TRACK” teaser series, where the group presented a playful yet intense visual concept inspired by futuristic gaming aesthetics.
With its heavy production, creative wordplay, and powerful performances, “FARMING” represents the adventurous spirit of THIS & THAT and showcases Stray Kids’ ability to turn unconventional ideas into memorable Hip-Hop anthems.
