Stray Kids released the music video for their song 'After You' on Spotify on August 21, 2026, premiering exclusively on the streaming platform at 11:00 AM KST (Billboard).

'After You' is a pop dance track from the eight-member group's album 'THIS & THAT', an 8-song release published by JYP Entertainment. The album has now surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, according to a press statement reported by Billboard. It is also Stray Kids' ninth consecutive Billboard 200 No. 1 — the Billboard 200 being the chart that ranks the most popular albums in the United States each week.

The group acknowledged the milestone on Instagram with a caption that read: "9th consecutive Billboard 200 #1 album 'THIS & THAT'…" (Billboard).

The 'After You' video follows an anthology of stories set across everyday spaces, tracing an emotional arc from being stuck in a 'Before You' to arriving at an 'After You'. It opens with members making their way through day jobs — busking on the street, bartending. Along the way, the visual moves through a recording studio, an indoor swimming pool, a rainy bus stop at night and a karaoke bar. One sequence features a young boy who has his own busking skills (Billboard).

Members Felix and Hyunjin sing the verses, while Seungmin, Bang Chan and Lee Know carry the chorus (Billboard).

The premiere lands mid-tour. Stray Kids' 2026 RUN IT world tour plays Tokyo's National Stadium on August 29, then moves to South America in September for shows in Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. The run includes two nights at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 25-26 (Billboard).

For fans, the video adds a visual layer to a track from an album already moving serious streaming numbers — and it arrives as the group is on the road across three continents.
