In a series of teasers released by the hitmakers, they were seen dressed all in black with their shadows drawing monstrous silhouettes behind them. Alternatively, the trailer featured an epic story in which Felix enters a strange place called Ordinary.

There he encountered other members of the Stray Kids who looked mysterious and menacing. Their faces also appeared on several missing posters in the preview.

At the end of the clip, the Ordinary character flickered to Oddinary while the clip asked: Do you want to be ‘ODDINARY?’ This will be the boys’ first comeback after releasing their special Christmas album Christmas EveL in November 2021 and their compilation album SKZ2021 in December 2021.

Stray Kids recently signed to Republic Records, along with their JYP Entertainment labelmates ITZY. They just hosted a fan gathering called SKZ’s Chocolate Factory on February 12-13.
