Stray Kids dropped the extended play “I am WHO,” the sequel to its debut EP “I am NOT.”

Fronted by “My Pace,” the band’s second EP lists eight tracks, all of which have been composed and penned by the band’s members.

“Look far ahead and take your time/There’s no need to rush/Don’t compare/It’s OK to go slow/ Just do your own thing,” says the lyrics of the lead track “My Pace,” which conveys a motivational, anti-conformity message that is in line with the band’s theme of going against the societal norm.

The music video to the song, released Monday, has amassed 2.1 million views, as of Tuesday.
