The South Korean group Stray Kids is releasing a new digital single titled 'Star, Light (STAY)', which is part of the activities for their eighth anniversary. The group decided to create a simple song dedicated to their fandom STAY. Unlike other musical projects, this single is not planned as the start of a new promotional era or an album, but as a commemorative piece. The title directly includes the name of the STAY fandom, emphasizing that it is a musical dedication directed at their followers. The announcement of the single was accompanied by the publication of a cover image on the group's official channels. The world premiere of the single 'Star, Light (STAY)' is scheduled for March 25 at 1:00 p.m. in South Korea. Due to the time difference, the release will occur in Mexico the night before, that is, on March 24 at 10:00 p.m. (Central Time). You can listen to 'Star, Light (STAY)' through global distribution platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, TIDAL, and Deezer. You can pre-save the single on the official Stray Kids website. The conceptual art for 'Star, Light (STAY)' is built on a metaphor related to stars and constellations. The illustration uses the group's official lightstick, known as 'nachimbong', as a guide for the starlight. The concept describes 'the moment when light becomes direction'. In a recent teaser released on March 22, we hear a snippet of the song: 'Will you stay by my side? Eight years after that moment, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. Then I will become the universe that envelops you'. Another highlighted detail is that the members participated directly in the creation of the image.
