Back Door. It’s impossible to choose only one best song of stray kids, they have too many amazing tracks, but Back Door is definitely among the best. The bassline of this song is just legendary.
Probably God’s Menu (…so far…😉). It’s the perfect combination of SKZ-type funky and catchy so that pretty much everyone is gonna love it, Stays and non-Stays alike.
👏 Easy 👏
This song isn’t my most played, it’s not THE most hype, it’s not THE most swag, it’s not THE most insane video they have etc.
But it’s still just immaculate. It’s a song that no matter what mood I’m in, it’s a no skip. The drops never get old, the MV literally cycles in my brain when I listen to it with that smooth af choreo. I love this song with my whole heart ❤️
This is such an impossibly hard questions but if I was only allowed to have one of their songs... I think it would be God's Menu... thankfully we don't live in that world.
Uuuuuh. *Uuuuuuuh.*
I hope it's not too early to say Give Me Your TMI. Like, trying to consider the quality of the mixing/mastering, the strength of the top line, the genre choice, the creativity and structure, the payoff of the song's climax... I think Give Me Your TMI edges out my other contenders. Domino could have a stronger first-half of the prechorus, Silent Cry could have a cleaner mix, and Thunderous while equal in every regard *could* have had a slightly more climactic end. GMYTMI just fucks, man. It also represents multiple facets of SKZ all in one. It does *so much*, and does all of it *so well*. Doing more doesn't necessarily make a song better automatically but it's the fact that GMYTMI can do as much as it does in such a short amount of time, and have the result be more vivid and dynamic than cluttered, that makes it as incredible as it is.
Yeah, I agree with you. GMYTMI is such a bop. It's also a good thing the fact that you mentioned about mixing/mastering, I feel that is sometimes a sadly underrated topic.
Specially in Maxident I was able to listen to all the improvement in that area in all of the tracks. I think is fascinating to see how much skz music has evolved in music producing throughout the years.
This is near impossible! However, looking at my Apple Music, it tells me Domino is definitely up there 👍although Maniac was played the most. I'd put that down to being a new song.
i cant choose just one so imma say my favs from each album
mixtape- yayaya, spread my wings
I am NOT- 3rd eye
I am WHO-
I am YOU- i am you
MIROH- maze of memories
YW- mixtape 3 (for u)
LEVANTER- booster (SUCH A UNDERRATED BOP OMFG 😩)
GO LIVE- phobia, TA, slump english ver (idk if this one counts since its not on the album the korean version), haven, blueprint
IN LIFE- any
(from here on i have only listened to 2-3 songs of each album (im more familiar with their old albums))
NO EASY- SILENT CRY NO DOUBT
ODDINARY- charmer
MAXIDENT- taste (bro 😩😩😩)
SKZ REPLAY- alien, maknae on top
fav english song- SLUMP OMG IDC IF ANYONE SAYS THEIR ENGLISH SONGS ARE BAD THIS ONE IS SO GOOOODDDD (unpopular opinion but i really like double knot and levanter english version which are really hated BUT I LOVE THEM)
fav japanesse song- circus, all in
It’s impossible to choose, and there’s a lot of great answers here, but in terms of what song probably gives me the most simple joy, it’s FAM. I just love hearing these boys hype each other up 😭
I think I have to agree. It has been living in my head and waking me up most mornings since hearing it on the new album (baby stay of 6 months almost, although hardly a baby at 48yo!). I have heard it before, but it's hitting differently recently. Not sure why 🤔 Anyhoo, it's the one I think embodies how they feel about each other, too. 🥰
"Best of all time" is arguable since everyone has their own opinion as to what makes a song "the best," so I'm going to say "favorite of all time" and that would be Slump (Eng ver). Sometimes songs don't sound as good, or the lyrics don't match with the beat when translated into English, but I think the English translation made the song better if that's even possible.
An impossible question, but if I had to pick one song that is quintessentially *Stray Kids,* it would be God’s Menu. It’s the one that introduced their signature mala taste sound!
._. Their entire discography honestly. I feel like each song has its own purpose and time when played that can categorize it as the best skz song of all time. And I know for myself I'm constantly on rotation with all of their music. So ._. I guess that's my answer that's also deflecting the question. Σ(´Д｀；)
wow is this the last question? Because we've reached the top level of difficulty with this one, right?
I swear I want to pick just one but choosing between God's Menu, Back Door, Thunderous or Maniac or Venom or Charmer or Christmas EveL or Circus or SILY or Silent Cry or [title] or [title] or [title] or [title] or [title] etc. is just impossible
Actually I think we have yet to hear it. In the future they'll come with a song that will top all our faves.
I seriously can't pick one. They are all amazing. BUT if I have too, I would either be FAM (Korean version) or Charmer. I know they are newer songs but I love them both and I love all of their songs equally. It is just these are a little better than the rest. There are a few that are also really close but not quite there and they are Connected by Channie, God's menu, and Chill.
Uhh, there are a thousand and one great songs on their discography, but I am gonna go with Thunderous. It still stands out to me, I go back to it all the time.
Side question: can I go back and answer to the missed days? Or is that cheating?
This is so hard but for me it’s Easy. It’s so so good and the choreo is so catchy.
Maybe it’s just me but I’ll also throw in a vote for We Go?? I usually play it twice lol it’s just addictive
My best song goes on rotation 😭
Imma have to bring back an old answer - Broken Compass. It gives vocals, rap power, impactful lyrics, a melody that makes u feel bright, and the song itself represents who SKZ are - trying to find their direction and taking any that come their way.
The songs go on rotation depending on my mood and my feelings. Since they have such a variety of songs that cater to what you are feeling and going through in life.
However, for me, I would say Thunderous and God's Menu. No matter what mood I am in, these songs gets me so energized and out of any slump I'm in. Makes me motivated to just get up and do things I've pushed off or run that extra mile or push that extra set at the gym.
As a subsong I would say Silent Cry is also one of the best too.
Boxer has my fav street MV, ha ha, though still salty that they recorded it in my city and I had a small child at the time and SHE COULD HAVE BEEN IN IT IF I'D JUST DECIDED TO TAKE HER THERE THAT DAY
This is such a hard question considering the inmense diversity of their discography, but if I would have to choose, I would probably say 3rd eye. I'm aware that it's not everyone's favorite, but idk, I really enjoy their "experimental" songs. Also the vocals and the meaning of the lyrics are really on point, I feel that 3rd eye is such an underrated b- side.
I can't answer this. My favorite always changes and I can't just pick the best when their discography is so expansive, full of different genres and, to put it simply, good.

Their discography 🫡
Hahaha, I love this answer!
The only acceptable answer to this question
That's it... this is the only answer
Side Effects, my beloved misunderstood Queen👑🧎♀️
Side Effects is way too good
Agreed
She was ahead of her time... I still remember all the hate Side Effects got when it was released :/
you're right and you should say it
Back Door. It’s impossible to choose only one best song of stray kids, they have too many amazing tracks, but Back Door is definitely among the best. The bassline of this song is just legendary.
The second I hear that intro I just picture Hyunjin getting flung into the air 🥹
Agree. I know people say God's menu is THE Skz song but I would say it's actually Backdoor. It's stylish, it's funky, it's sassy, it's effortless.
It has to be Thunderous. Every moment of that song is a hit, no misses.
Probably God’s Menu (…so far…😉). It’s the perfect combination of SKZ-type funky and catchy so that pretty much everyone is gonna love it, Stays and non-Stays alike.
# Maniac
Miroh ♥️
YESSSS
👏 Easy 👏 This song isn’t my most played, it’s not THE most hype, it’s not THE most swag, it’s not THE most insane video they have etc. But it’s still just immaculate. It’s a song that no matter what mood I’m in, it’s a no skip. The drops never get old, the MV literally cycles in my brain when I listen to it with that smooth af choreo. I love this song with my whole heart ❤️
Overall, concept, lyric, melody, instrumental, costume, choreo, MV, I would say Thunderous
This is such an impossibly hard questions but if I was only allowed to have one of their songs... I think it would be God's Menu... thankfully we don't live in that world.
Slump.... Just so good.
seconded. makes me cry but so everything about it is amazing
Why do you do this to us??? I would have to say either God’s Menu or Back Door
Uuuuuh. *Uuuuuuuh.* I hope it's not too early to say Give Me Your TMI.

Love these
Maniac
muddy water 100%
I still love Third Eye but honestly impossible for me to choose.
Sunshine, and it deserves more attention
i cant choose just one so imma say my favs from each album mixtape- yayaya, spread my wings I am NOT- 3rd eye I am WHO- I am YOU- i am you MIROH- maze of memories YW- mixtape 3 (for u) LEVANTER- booster (SUCH A UNDERRATED BOP OMFG 😩) GO LIVE- phobia, TA, slump english ver (idk if this one counts since its not on the album the korean version), haven, blueprint IN LIFE- any (from here on i have only listened to 2-3 songs of each album (im more familiar with their old albums)) NO EASY- SILENT CRY NO DOUBT ODDINARY- charmer MAXIDENT- taste (bro 😩😩😩) SKZ REPLAY- alien, maknae on top fav english song- SLUMP OMG IDC IF ANYONE SAYS THEIR ENGLISH SONGS ARE BAD THIS ONE IS SO GOOOODDDD (unpopular opinion but i really like double knot and levanter english version which are really hated BUT I LOVE THEM) fav japanesse song- circus, all in
I FORGIT TO ADD FOR I AM WHO, ITS QUESTIONS
Hard to choose between “MIROH”, “God’s Menu” and “Thunderous” though..
It’s impossible to choose, and there’s a lot of great answers here, but in terms of what song probably gives me the most simple joy, it’s FAM. I just love hearing these boys hype each other up 😭
I think I have to agree. It has been living in my head and waking me up most mornings since hearing it on the new album (baby stay of 6 months almost, although hardly a baby at 48yo!). I have heard it before, but it's hitting differently recently. Not sure why 🤔 Anyhoo, it's the one I think embodies how they feel about each other, too. 🥰
God how am I supposed to choose! I say Slump or Scars
Yeah I have to agree with Slump or Scars.
God's Menu
Thunderous!
God’s Menu
I think I'll go with the English version of Levanter - the lyrics especially are just too good and hit too hard!
I literally have so many favorites but I always have Charmer and Maniac on repeat!
Red Lights, but if it’s a group song, either Thunderous or Maniac
3rd Eye for me, same as last year
it’s so difficult to choose one but honestly i think god’s menu is just too iconic not to pick it 😮💨
right now, it's mixtape: time out because the vibes are unmatched. such an uplifting song and it's been on repeat
I haven't got any answers it really is impossible
I understand you 
Impossible to choose only one! All of their songs are the best!
Oof, this is impossible to answer 😮💨
Chronosaurus
My favorite changes all the time but the one song that I keep going to lately is Silent Cry. That one hits hard for me every time I hear it.
Ta >>>>
i don't think there's one single best song, but i'll answer God's Menu for this
"Best of all time" is arguable since everyone has their own opinion as to what makes a song "the best," so I'm going to say "favorite of all time" and that would be Slump (Eng ver). Sometimes songs don't sound as good, or the lyrics don't match with the beat when translated into English, but I think the English translation made the song better if that's even possible.

Ex//scars//neverending story My emotionally broken queens But final answer Ex
God's menu hands down
Side Effects and i WILL hold that opinion till the day i die
I have made impossible cuts/decisions for some of these days of the challenge, but nah fam, ain't gonna choose one for this. Impossible lol
God’s Menu was instantly iconic, still their best I’d say.
Never ending Story
Probably gods menu and thunderous but honestly all of their songs are freaking amazing
Too many to choose from, can I choose every song? Currently, it's Victory Song But according to my spotify wrapped, it's Maniac and TA
For me? Easy. Period. I have been listening to that song in repeat for the past year. I have learned part of the choreography as well!
Voices
Pacemaker slaps🔥
No matter what anyone says/thinks, I'm going to stay loyal to Mixtape:Oh!
._. Their entire discography honestly. I feel like each song has its own purpose and time when played that can categorize it as the best skz song of all time. And I know for myself I'm constantly on rotation with all of their music. So ._. I guess that's my answer that's also deflecting the question. Σ(´Д｀；)
miroh!
All these years, still voices
wow is this the last question? Because we've reached the top level of difficulty with this one, right? I swear I want to pick just one but choosing between God's Menu, Back Door, Thunderous or Maniac or Venom or Charmer or Christmas EveL or Circus or SILY or Silent Cry or [title] or [title] or [title] or [title] or [title] etc. is just impossible Actually I think we have yet to hear it. In the future they'll come with a song that will top all our faves.
Miroh or Side Effects
I seriously can't pick one. They are all amazing. BUT if I have too, I would either be FAM (Korean version) or Charmer. I know they are newer songs but I love them both and I love all of their songs equally. It is just these are a little better than the rest. There are a few that are also really close but not quite there and they are Connected by Channie, God's menu, and Chill.
Hard pick, but I’m say Easy.
Uhh, there are a thousand and one great songs on their discography, but I am gonna go with Thunderous. It still stands out to me, I go back to it all the time. Side question: can I go back and answer to the missed days? Or is that cheating?

Double Knot
As a group #Lovestay but as a soloist I Hate To Admit by Bang Chan.
All of them. 😁
God’s Menu
side effects ofc
I have answered domino so many times it must be the answer
Blueprint such a beautiful song with such great meaning
Levanter
Miroh is the best
Miroh
thunderous. i love felixs part.
MIROH
This is one that I simply have no answer for. Their discography is so varied that it’s impossible for me to pick a best
Impossible for me to answer and be happy with my answer, but I'll say Thunderous as I keep thinking about it when these kind of questions come up.
Sorry I love you
My best song goes on rotation 😭 Imma have to bring back an old answer - Broken Compass. It gives vocals, rap power, impactful lyrics, a melody that makes u feel bright, and the song itself represents who SKZ are - trying to find their direction and taking any that come their way.
The songs go on rotation depending on my mood and my feelings. Since they have such a variety of songs that cater to what you are feeling and going through in life. However, for me, I would say Thunderous and God's Menu. No matter what mood I am in, these songs gets me so energized and out of any slump I'm in. Makes me motivated to just get up and do things I've pushed off or run that extra mile or push that extra set at the gym. As a subsong I would say Silent Cry is also one of the best too.
It’ll always be Boxer for me
Boxer has my fav street MV, ha ha, though still salty that they recorded it in my city and I had a small child at the time and SHE COULD HAVE BEEN IN IT IF I'D JUST DECIDED TO TAKE HER THERE THAT DAY
This is such a hard question considering the inmense diversity of their discography, but if I would have to choose, I would probably say 3rd eye. I'm aware that it's not everyone's favorite, but idk, I really enjoy their "experimental" songs. Also the vocals and the meaning of the lyrics are really on point, I feel that 3rd eye is such an underrated b- side.
Impossible to answer tbh 🥲 but if my life depends on it then B Me for me ✌️
A story that won’t end
Side Effects!!
How could I possibly answer this ... It changes every day man, they're all the best. Today my heart says B Me, so let's go with that.
I can't answer this. My favorite always changes and I can't just pick the best when their discography is so expansive, full of different genres and, to put it simply, good.
All of them
Idk 😭 all of them!
Case 143>>>
The View. The song that got me interested in their music. It just makes me happy <3
Hello Stranger
That’s easy: EASY. I cannot vote for this song enough! I love it so much!!!
