Stray Kids 'This & That' Tracklist Is Here — And 3RACHA Wrote Every Single Song
Stray Kids' 'This & That' Tracklist Is Here — And 3RACHA Wrote Every Single Song
KPulse Daily
Stray Kids just pulled back the curtain on their 10th mini album 'This & That' — and the tracklist comes with a flex most groups can't make. All eight songs are credited to 3RACHA, the in-house producing unit of Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN. Every. Single. Track.
The EP lands August 7, following prerelease single Run It (out June 24), and STAY are already dissecting every frame. Here's the full tracklist, the very-on-brand concept behind it, and why Korean and international fans are reading this comeback a little differently.

The Tracklist — Served Like a Coffee Menu
Here's the detail that made STAY grin: the tracklist wasn't just dropped as a plain list. Each song was unveiled as a coffee blend, complete with tasting notes and a roast level hinting at the mood of the track. It's a small thing, but it's peak Stray Kids — playful, over-designed, and daring you to overthink it. The revealed songs:
- This & That — the title track
- Run It — the prerelease single (out since June 24)
- After You
- Farming
- I Do
- That Day
- This & That (Festival ver.) — a remixed take on the title
Round it out to eight tracks total, and here's the kicker again: 3RACHA's fingerprints are on all of them. For a group whose whole identity is "we make our own music," a fully self-produced EP isn't a gimmick — it's the entire thesis.
What We Know About 'This & That'
'This & That' is Stray Kids' 10th mini album, arriving August 7. It rides in on the momentum of Run It, the June prerelease that had STAY streaming on loop, and it's positioned as the comeback that sets up their next run of world tour dates. In other words: this isn't a quiet drop. It's the launchpad for the group's next era, and JYP is treating it like one — trailer, coffee-concept tracklist reveal, the works.
The comeback trailer itself did numbers immediately, rocketing to the top of YouTube's worldwide music trending within days of release — the kind of out-of-the-gate reach that's become routine for Stray Kids but still says a lot about where they sit in 2026's K-pop hierarchy.
π°π· THE KOREAN SIDE vs π THE GLOBAL SIDE
π°π· In Korea, the headline isn't just "new Stray Kids album" — it's the self-producing angle. Korean coverage leans hard on 3RACHA writing all eight tracks, framing it as proof of artistic control in an industry where most idols don't touch their own songwriting credits. That "they built this themselves" narrative is a genuine point of pride for STAY here.
π Globally, fans are reacting first to the concept — the coffee-blend tracklist, the trailer's visuals, the title-track teaser — and treating the 3RACHA credits as a nice bonus rather than the main story.
π The Gap: Same eight songs, two different centers of gravity. Korea reads 'This & That' as a statement about authorship; the world reads it as the next big Stray Kids event. Both are right — and together they're exactly why this group travels so well.
Why It Matters
Self-producing idol groups aren't unheard of, but a mainstream act putting its production unit on every track of a comeback EP — title included — is still rare, and it's a big part of why Stray Kids have the fanbase they do. STAY don't just stream the music; they treat the members as the authors of it. A fully 3RACHA-credited 'This & That' reinforces the one thing that's set this group apart since their SoundCloud days: they'd rather build it than be handed it.

π¬ Jamie's Take:
"I love that Stray Kids turned a tracklist reveal into a coffee menu — it's so them that it almost feels like a personality test. But the real story is the eight-for-eight 3RACHA credit. I've followed this group since the 3RACHA SoundCloud era, and watching them scale that same 'we write our own stuff' ethos all the way up to a stadium-tour-launching EP is genuinely satisfying. 'This & That' isn't just a comeback. It's a receipt."
What STAY Are Saying
The fan reaction split almost exactly along the lines you'd expect. On X and Reddit, the first wave of replies latched onto the tracklist's coffee gimmick — STAY started assigning members to roasts and arguing over which track is the "dark roast," which is precisely the kind of unserious deep-dive this fandom lives for. Then the second wave hit: fans clocking that every single credit reads 3RACHA and treating it as receipts for the "self-producing group" title they've defended for years. There's real anticipation building for the This & That title track and the unheard cuts like Farming and After You, with Run It already functioning as the appetizer. Between the concept, the credits and the countdown to August 7, STAY have plenty to chew on — and JYP clearly knows it.
