\n\tAs the track\u2019s beat heats up and explodes into thumping electronic rhythm, members Felix and Hyunjin sing, \u201cI had to catch my breath, saw you walking past\/ Didn\u2019t know someone could turn my world around like that\/ You took a piece of me, it all happened so fast,\u201d before Seungmin, Bang Chan and Lee Know croon the chorus, \u201cBut I\u2019m up all night, and I don\u2019t know what to do\/ How can I breathe the same after you?\/ Oh, I\u2019ll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you\/ I\u2019ll never be the same after you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rest of the video hops from a tense session in the recording studio to an indoor swimming pool, a rainy bus stop at night and a karaoke bar, as well as a special musical moment with a young boy who has his own impressive busking chops.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to release, the \u201cAfter You\u201d visual \u201cfollows an anthology of stories set across everyday spaces \u2014 portraying relatable scenarios that could belong to anyone. Each story traces an emotional arc as the members move from being stuck in a \u2018Before You\u2019 \u2014 an emotional standstill \u2014 to rediscovering feeling through human connection and inner resolve, arriving at an \u2018After You.\u2019 As the scenes unfold, so does the warm afterglow and summer emotions of the track itself, brought to life through cinematic visuals that will draw you in with each story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, Stray Kids reacted to the news that THIS & THAT<\/em> was officially their ninth Billboard chart-topper. \u201cHello all, we are Stray Kids!,\u201d the eight-member group said in unison in an a since-expired Instagram\u00a0captioned, \u201c9th consecutive Billboard 200 #1 album \u2018THIS & THAT\u2019 \u2026 Thank you STAY, from the bottom of our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are deeply grateful for all of your support. Thank you so much STAY,\u201d added member Felix. \u201cWithout you, we wouldn\u2019t have been able to achieve this incredible milestone. So we\u2019d like to cherish this moment together with you and with everyone, everywhere all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe group\u2019s 2026 RUN IT world tour will hit Tokyo\u2019s National Stadium on Aug. 29 before the crew move on to South America in September for shows in Colombia, Brazil and Argentina, and then two nights (Sept. 25-26) at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.<\/p>\n
