SEOUL, June 24 (AJP) -Eight-member K-pop boy group Stray Kids will release a new digital single, "RUN IT," JYP Entertainment said Wednesday.

The song was written and produced by 3RACHA, the group's in-house production unit comprising Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. Built around brass, marching drums and world-beat rhythms, the track captures the group's drive and confidence as they head into a new tour cycle.

Stray Kids earned their eighth No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the weekly U.S. album chart, with "DO IT" in late 2025, the most by any K-pop act.

The single shares its name with the group's upcoming world tour, which opens with five concerts at KSPO Dome in Seoul on July 25, 26 and 29 and Aug. 1 and 2. The tour will continue at the National Stadium in Tokyo, followed by stops in Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok and Singapore. It follows the group's "dominATE" tour, which concluded on October of 2025 after 56 performances across 35 locations.

"RUN IT" will also appear on Stray Kids' upcoming EP, "THIS & THAT," due Aug. 7. The release will be the group's first album of 2026 and its first in about nine months since "DO IT." Further details, including the track list, will be announced later.
