Even before I knew what twilight said in English, I could feel the emotion and it has always made me emotional, I LOVE when Han writes slow songs like ballads ❤️

Alicia Rump

So Felix wrote this right? Was he also the one who said he’d love to see Changbin rap in English😂

Star Dust

1. Runners 2. ChkChk Boom 3. JJAM 4. Mountains 5. Twilight 6. I Like It. It feels weird to rank Twilight with the rest because it's such a different genre. I really like Twilight though. Stray Kids stands alone. That doesn't get ranked. That queen has her own throne.

Amber Boots

Man that's hard. Stray Kids, Runners and Twilight with I Like it as a close runner up but dang it I like mountains, Jamm and Chk Chk Boom when I want to get hyped. The whole album rocks

Giuli M

thanks for the info, i'll def. check them out! But don't discredit yourself- you learned the info, applied it, and wrote about it BEAUTIFULLY <3 You can't Chan your way out of a compliment in Stayville ;)

Giuli M

agree!

Patri_Playmobil

I love that he can tell that "Twilight" is written by Han...our little emo boy 🤍

Ja-9 - Janine

Thank you for this reaction! Fav part was Ben's take on deep Han 😂👏 Favs from ATE: 1. Runners 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 2. Chk Chk Boom 💥 3. Twilight 🌃 / Mountains ⛰️ (changes depending on mood) I love all tracks though. Have the remixes of CCB on repeat too. Han hits different and I love that they have a song written by Han that is a totally different jazzy vibe to the rest of the album. I would've missed melodic skz if they hadn't had a song like this on the album. His lyrics are so deep and meaningful 💖

Tatiana Freitas

Ben, you should watch the Intro for ATE, they all talk about the songs and the album as a whole, they have an Intro video for each album and I think they are worth watching.

Andrea

Top 3 ATE for me (at current): 1. Stray Kids 2. Chk Chk Boom 3. I Like It / Twilight (these two interchange on me daily) I love all the songs on the album and every one can be a #1 song. I can't ever pick my top 10 overall SKZ songs because it constantly fluxuates lol.

Kitty2269

Top 3 for me, 1) Twlight - its a hanpop, and i feel every word he lays on that paper, and the jazz vibe that it gives off. 2) Stray Kids - There aint no last step out What else can be said ( hopes for MV) 3) I like it - because when you really cant say im in love this just fits

Winder Hope

Twilight is probably my favorite. I just enjoy them singing a melodic tune, they do it so well. The other songs are great for motivational tasks, this one I can listen to at any time. You know what I mean?

Lisa Mrozinski

I LOVE this!!! Thank you for sharing!!! And please, please, please feel free to write as much as you want about things like this!!! I love to read this stuff, puts me in my warm, fuzzy place..... as well as gives me more insight into the Korean language..... I am only starting my journey there, but things like this will help to keep me going!!!! Thank you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Significant parts of my takes come from other creators that notice stuff, like Handsome Sausages (musicians, producers) or TeddyGreyOnStuff (musician, sweet dude who’s super fired up when it comes to talking about various types of music) so I also recommend checking them out! I don’t mean to be rude doing any promo of other creators here, so forgive me if it came off that way 😅 I’m really just mentioning sources and whom I learn from ❤️

Destinee Lima

My top 3 are I like it, Chk Chk Boom, and Twilight. I still love all the songs though lol. Seungmin’s opening of I like it, has a grip on my soul

Giuli M

Your comment gave me SUCH satisfaction to read, oh my gosh. I would read a whole booklet on your interpretations of these songs with glee. If you decide to delve into more, I'm here. I wish I could bookmark this comment <3

Nicka Gaffud

I like it Jjam Chk chk boom

Giuli M

Runners is written by Chan and Felix and you can TELL lmao. (I mean this as a huge compliment, btw, but also in a 'only the Aussies would add 'taking L's' and 'getting W's' as lyrics lmao). Twilight is written by Han and you can ALSO definitely tell. He's insanely talented- it's not just the rapping, singing, dancing and stage presence. It's not just the producing and composing. It's the LYRICISIM. He's such a good lyricist. He's able to portray yearning, and grief, and other strong emotions so fluently and palpably. That's why he's an ace. He actually excels at everything he does as an artist. It's wild.

Wynn

Runners is written by Bang Chan and Felix, while Twilight is written by Han yes! Han actually said he’d prefer if people don’t overthink the meaning of his song and just enjoy it, so I think you’re on the right track. My top 3 faves of the album 1 : Chkchkboom 2 : Moutains 3: I like it

Paiyton

I like it Runners JJam

willa Bryant

Thanks Ben rest well

Lari

The whole album is amazing! But if I had to chose, “I like it” is my number one, don’t know how long I left on repeat 😂 “Runners”, it’s all in English I can sing! 😂 besides I really like the Lyrics.. and last.. it’s hard this one because Chk Chk Boom is addicting, but I listened so many times that im trying to give the other songs more time kkkkk so probably JJAM.. if I’m more quiet, relaxed I would say twilight or Stray Kids

bella144

My TOP3 'ATE' songs (with WHYs cause I love to yap): 1. JJAM there is so much going on in JJAM, istg, how do you squeeze so many substantial parts in like about three minutes?? we have some dubstep, drum&bass, obviously vocals and rap, OH ALSO!! all the rachas (3racha, vocalracha, danceracha) have their own jams within the song, like they are sectioned in parts in a way?? And also the guys said in an interview that they wanted JJAM to be their title track cause it encapsulated pure SKZ flavor but the company picked Chk Chk Boom instead, so they packed ALL their SKZness into JJAM. Also, I can't wait for the dance break as well. I was also excited to see the references to their other songs in the lyrics, like "Get Lit" (from Oddinary album) or 'finger lickin'' (from "Super Bowl" in 5-STAR) to just name these. There is also a "Family Guy" reference with the part 'peanut butter jelly time' And since I'm a linguist and a language freak lol, word play really fires me up haha. There is this part in chorus "찍어 발라 버려" (jjikeo balla beoryeo" and it means in hiphop something akin to "I'mma fuck you up"/"I'mma wipe you out" OR literally to spread something like jam on a toast. Another little detail: if you learn Korean, you might already know, but "잼" (jaem) in slang means "fun", so "no fun" would be "노잼" (no jaem). In one verse Seungmin sings "오늘의 topic, 걍 잼있게 놀기" and he uses "잼있게" instead of the correct form of an adverb which would be "재미있게". I'm going crazy seeing shit like this, oh my god Oh and for the chorus, I truly truly only thought about jam and how SKZ say their music is so addictive that it sticks like jam, but some brain rotten individual said that "Sticking together day and night, yeah/Filling up jars, oh, every time/So just spread it out (Right now)/찍어 발라 버려, jam/Sticky, sticky, sticky jam" is not about jam ;-; 2. Chk Chk Boom (but idk which version I like better) It's such a banger, I love how in the chorus there is so much rhotic R pronounced, it's so fitting for the music genre mix they're doing with CCB, and I also learned like five seconds ago that Changbin wrote Han's #cliche part and Han wrote Changbin's #neilarmstrong part. OH CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS WORD PLAY CAUSE--- "kneel, I'm strong" part in Changbin's sounds exactly like "Neil Armstrong" and in the MV there is this shot with Changbin on the moon, like in the picture, NEIL ARMSTRONG Y'ALL. Which brings us to "Hall of Fame" from 5-STAR album, another reference! And I would also say there's a reference to "WOLFGANG" from NOEASY album with the part in chorus "Lobos, we cannot stop hunting", since 'lobos' in Spanish means 'wolves'. I also love how we can hear a different color of Changbin's voice in the first rap (the Neil Armstrong part), a little tight and maybe lazy ?? Idk I'm missing a word to describe the specific vibe, a bit whiny but that's still not that 3. Runners Again I love word play, but I'm gonna make it short, cause I've been yapping in this comment for so long already lol. First of all. the "zoom-zoom-zoom" thingie during Felix's part IS SO COOL, but right after there is this Changbin's part: "They say I took an L for challenging myself/But I don't give a hell, I know that I can tell that they are jelly-jelly". He took an L (loss), so our focus is brought to L > chaLLenging myself > I don't give a heLL > they are jeLLY-jeLLy (jealous) to me this is basically so genius, peak lyricism, also there arent THAT many words in English that feature double-L, and the fact that Changbin ridiculed his haters in literally two lines is to me chef's kiss mic drop shit, absolutely amazing

Sameeee

I find myself with a different favorite at the top of my list every damn day it seems. I would say CURRENTLY this is where I am. 1. Twilight 2. I Like It 3. Jjam 4. Chk Chk Boom All that to say, it'll probably change tomorrow! This album is amazing. This is my 3rd SKZ comeback and I genuinely think this is album of the year material. Chk Chk Boom is one of the most ear worm titles of theirs yet for me. I'm pretty sure it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, I fucking love all their music. But ATE it's special bros. Real special. I think we have stepped into a new ERA of Stray Kids. Can anyone else feel what I mean? And I'm so damn proud of them and excited to see where we are headed!

bella144

a very interesting thing about Changbin's verse in "Runners": look at the 'L's in that verse; 'challenging' has double-L, same with 'hell' and 'jelly' (jealous), so it's literally Changbin's genius lyricism showing here. There aren't THAT many English words with double-L I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT ALL THAT WELL, BUT CAN YOU SEE THE PICTURE HERE ?

It is SO hard to pick my favorites on this album, even top three! I’m going to go with: JJAM Chk Chk Boom I Like It Twilight is on a level of its own because it’s total Hanpop, and probably my favorite of his from an album 😻
