Stray Kids close their THIS & THAT mini-album with a powerful stadium-ready transformation of the title track through “This & That (Festival Version)” featuring American producer and artist Tele. Released on August 7, 2026, the special edition serves as the eighth and final track on the project, delivering an explosive version designed for massive stages and global festival crowds.
While the original “This & That” embraces a smoother hip-hop approach with a relaxed attitude, the Festival Version expands the track into a larger arena anthem. The reworked production introduces heavier basslines, energetic electronic elements, and crowd-focused moments that elevate the song’s performance potential.
The track brings together Stray Kids’ creative powerhouse 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — with Tele and a team of international hitmakers. The songwriting and composition also feature contributions from Stefan Johnson, Jordan K. Johnson, Jackson Foote, Rayman, and Isaiah Tejada, while the arrangement combines the efforts of The Monsters & Strangerz, Tele, Rayman, Isaiah Tejada, and Bang Chan.
Tele plays a major role in reshaping the record’s sound, adding a global pop and festival influence that complements Stray Kids’ signature intensity. The result is a more explosive interpretation built around powerful synth drops, driving percussion, and anthemic sections created for audience participation.
With its extended runtime and larger-than-life production, “This & That (Festival Version)” transforms the album’s closing moment into a celebration of Stray Kids’ worldwide reach. The track captures the energy of their live performances while reinforcing the group’s ability to adapt their sound across different musical environments.
