In Stray Kids‘ extensive discography, there is something for everyone, for every day and every season. Winter can be a difficult cold season, and yet Stray Kids have the perfect songs to accompany you on the days you need comfort, a bit of warmth, and a banger to enjoy in the cold. These are some of our favorite winter-coded Stray Kids songs!
‘Winter Falls’ (Christmas EveL, 2021)
‘Winter Falls‘ is an absolute must in your winter playlist when it comes to Stray Kids‘ songs. The title says it all, but the song goes further than that because no song like ‘Winter Falls‘ captures the season with its melodies, atmosphere, and lyrics quite like this song. Out of Stray Kids‘ special Christmas single album, Christmas EveL, ‘Winter Falls’ has been the soundtrack to all our winters since 2021. The Hanpop song feels like a breeze of cold air as the lyrics explore the falling out of a relationship. It’s full of yearning and pain, yet it’s rhythmic, cozy, and timeless.
‘There’ (THE SOUND, 2023)
While ‘Winter Falls’ explores a sadder, more nostalgic side of winter, ‘There‘ is the song that will comfort you and make you feel like spending the day in bed with some hot chocolate and cookies. From their first Japanese full-length album, THE SOUND, ‘There‘ is a sweet ballad that highlights the softest sides of Stray Kids‘ vocals and their sweetest lyricism. It will bring you peace and comfort in the darkest days of winter.
‘One Day’ (ALL IN, 2020)
One of Stray Kids‘ most underrated songs is ‘One Day’ from their first Japanese mini-album. This is a song that works at any time of the year, but the perfect season to listen to ‘One Day‘ on loop is definitely winter. Despite its joyful melody, ‘One Day’ explores the weight of exhaustion and mental health in everyday life. The constant metaphors between the weather and one’s mood make ‘One Day’ your best friend when the winter weather gets too cold, and the lack of sun makes you lose hope. ‘One Day’ brings happiness with its catchy melody and hopeful lyrics, as they hint for better days.
‘Snain’ (2023)
Something about Changbin‘s writing style is that he loves some good metaphors with the weather and witty puns, and that’s all we get in ‘Snain.’ While his previous song ‘One Day’ is a more gloomy yet hopeful song, ‘Snain‘ sees snow and rain as positive, as a way to wash away everything from the past that hurts you. The sub-unit of Changbin, Felix, and Seungmin is the perfect song to get through winter and know that, after the rain and the snow, there will be sun for sure.
‘FREEZE’ (ODDINARY, 2022)
The winter isn’t just about cozy, soft music; it can also be about one of the biggest EDM hits in Stray Kids‘ discography, and nothing quite like ‘FREEZE‘ to bring you energy in those freezing days of winter. Out of ODDINARY, ‘FREEZE‘ has a sort of harshness to it, with a heavy EDM drop and fast-paced rap verses, making it a perfect fit for the season. It mixes energy and power with darkness and coldness. It’s the perfect energy boost for winter.
