Background

edit

Stray Kids released the video series SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record to showcase their self-written songs and covers, as well as other non-promotional projects published unofficially on various online video platforms.[2] SKZ-Player was released as music videos,[3] while SKZ-Record was released as audio-only videos.[4] The first video from the SKZ-Player series was Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix's choreography video, uploaded on August 26, 2018.[5] The first video of SKZ-Record was Seungmin's cover of "Start Over", originally performed by Gaho for the television series Itaewon Class, published on May 4, 2020.[6] "Fam" was originally recorded in Japanese and included on Stray Kids' debut Japanese-language EP All In, released on November 4, 2020.[7] The music video for the unreleased track "#LoveStay" was uploaded on December 31, 2021, as a tribute to the group's fans, collectively called "Stay".[8]

Release and promotion

edit

On January 1, 2022, JYP Entertainment uploaded the video "Step Out 2022", which outlined Stray Kids' accomplishments in 2021 and goals for the new year, including plans for an album that collected songs from the SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record series.[9] At their "Seoul Special (Unveil 11)" show of Maniac World Tour on September 17, the group debuted the Korean version of "Fam" during the encore.[10] On November 9, Stray Kids revealed the souvenirs for the third-generation official fan club recruitment, including a promotional CD for the album titled SKZ-Replay. They stated that the album would be released digitally in December 2022 and consist of an A and B-side; the CD would contain only songs from the A-side.[11] One month later, on December 14, SKZ-Replay was formally announced for release on December 21.[12] The track listing was revealed over the following two days. It consists of 25 tracks, including eight new tracks performed as solos by each member, besides the previously published tracks.[13] An accompanying music video for the Korean version of "Fam" was also uploaded on the same day as the album's release.[1][14]
