\n\tThe accompanying high-gloss video finds members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N kitting up for a variety of extreme sports challenges in a futuristic landscape. From Changbin dropping hard-hitting rhymes in the middle of an MMA octagon \u2014\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re moving forward with maximum power\/ And we\u2019re gonna dominate, pop it\/ Making headlines, big news topic\/ My experience points are my countless trophies\u201d \u2014\u00a0to a Mario Kart-esque race to grab an elusive black ball in a raucous arena and American football players trying to tackle Han as he casually dribbles a soccer ball between them, the visual is full of extreme sports action.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdd in some physically impossible break dancing moves, a gravity defying baseball bat swing and other feats of sports superiority and you have\u2026 well, a surprise twist at the end that you didn\u2019t see coming.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a release announcing the LP, the collection tells a story about destiny from a unique Stray Kids perspective. \u201cDestiny is shaped by a tangled web of choices and consequences,\u201d it explains. \u201cKARMA\u00a0begins with this very idea \u2014 an attempt to interpret Stray Kids\u2019 fate. Despite countless external judgments and inner conflicts, they have continued to forge their own path with unwavering resolve. Through their music,\u00a0Stray\u00a0Kids\u00a0represent a story of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther tracks on the album include the skittery trap R&B banger \u201cCreed,\u201d tear-stained ballad \u201cMess,\u201d old school, whistle-enhanced baile funk bouncer \u201cHalf Time,\u201d EDM jam \u201cPhoenix\u201d and two additional versions of \u201cCeremony,\u201d a live-sounding \u201cFestival\u201d version and an English version.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe group recently completed its largest-ever world tour, Stray\u00a0Kids\u00a0World Tour <\/a>, which brought 54 shows to 34 regions across the world on five continents over 341 days, wrapping up on July 30th in Rome.<\/p>\n
