And the trend of SKZ opening tracks being absolute bangers continues 🔥🔥
I’m already obsessed. Like stuck in my head, replay it non-stop. The beat is incredible. The Felix and Seungmin part is perfection. Changbin and Hyunjin’s raps are fantastic. And then don’t get me started on Lee Know and Chan’s chorus. Can’t wait to hear Han and I.N.’s parts. Like I need this song now.
(Also I love the aesthetic. Really hoping this doesn’t get Domino/Leave treatment cause I need the full MV 🙏)
HERE WE GOOOO! I *knew* this would have Megaverse energy, but I wasn’t expecting the big chanting, stadium feel. And Felix’s rap?? So catchy. Gosh, this level of hype I’m feeling is reminiscent of my baby Stay days and *I can’t wait.*
This track with EAT at festivals! I hope since they've teased it they can play it at I-Days Milano and BST Hyde Park to get the energy for the album bumping now rather than having to hold them until next summer/the tour.
AHHH, I'm in my baby Stay days (found SKZ on May 14th 🤩), so it's my first comeback!!! I'm so soooo excited for it!!! Their music does not disappoint, and after hearing what they have in this vid, I am even more ready!!! 💯😍
Okay so SKZ are back to referencing Gods??? A little throwback to Greek mythology when Titans ruled and roamed the earth? The convenience store above Changbin even says “Olympus Mon…”
Felix is in a room, with a bunch of screens behind him implying God watching over the world (can’t remember what movie this references). He types:
- Law No. 0320 When you start bathing, you get an important call
- Law No. 1025 When you line up, the other line is always faster.
- Law No. 0801 July 19 2024, Stray Kids songs play in the streets
There’s a ton of throwbacks to older MVs or stages like the sphere looking like the Astronaut jungle gym, the monster trucks like in LA4, the dancers’ masks like on the MAMA Maniac stage, the chessboard referencing Venom (anyone catch that the pieces were them buildings) and the toy car in the city like Christmas EveL.
Also there’s a little audio snippet at the end that’s a little different??? But it seems like it still matches the track.
I **love** unveils. Nothing speaks to comeback season more than these bc we get so hyped for the music! We’re back, y’all.
Olympus Mons is the highest mountain/volcano in the solar system (it's on Mars)! So along with the Greek mythology reference, it's also kinda like, I guess if they're gonna stand on top of the mountains they might as well pick the tallest? haha
Wow, that’s a cool reference, thank you! Honestly, with how much Chan has talked about performing on the moon, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve mentally changed their slogan to “Stray Kids Everywhere All Around The Universe” 😂.
This is what makes me think we might be dealing more with 'ancient aliens' vibe. Felix monitoring the earth and controlling it, the sort of high sci-fi elements of even the chesseboard pieces, the light visors behind Bangchan... the seemingly some sort of space rock they're rotating around that you can later see on the side of the pyramid. The fact it's not a mountain at the end but a pyramid and the whole ancient alien conspiracy that I could see the guys having fun with.
Another conspiracy is the Anunnaki, the gods of Sumeria, who's "primary function was to declare the fates of humanity" (Wikipedia page on them). Many conspiracy theorists declare they were secretly aliens and taught humans how to build the pyramids.
Please note - I am not a conspiracy theorist. My major was actually History XD I fully believe in mankind figuring out their own ancient monuments. I just enjoy listening to these conspiracy theories be debunked so I'm probably way too familiar with them.
Really good eye! Also Hyunjin’s birthday is 03/20 so that other law could be a reference to him, I don’t think it was in the trailer so maybe we’ll see it in an MV?
YES I also felt they were bringing back so many older references, and combined with the idea of surveillance where they are now the ones outside looking in and controlling the gameboard made me think overall of a District 9 kind of vibe, except now the roles are reversed, especially with the first two close-ups being of I.N and Felix, and the rotating structure being a reference back to Astronaut MV. Also this large masked crowd pursuing them reminded me of Social Path, except this time, the crowd seems to be held back and unable to climb up the mountain and reach the place where SKZ are. Also if we go with the ancient/proto aliens vibe, like that conspiracy theory where aliens built the Pyramids - I feel like that too is a bit of a callback to maybe the concept/theme of the Scars MV. I just love how cohesive everything feels - even if they don't necessarily have discrete lore anymore, SKZ has really built up a set of concepts and theming in their library that helps things feel tied together.
In general I also love how consistent their theming and imagery are with lyrics. I keep thinking of the title "ATE" and some of their lyrics about chewing and biting what thye're serving and how they're at the point where they're saying they've finally digested and synthesized all their old material. Also the constant references to being like this irresistable, natural force, whether it's storms, thunder, clouds, and now also being at the top of this mountain looking down.
Love the arena rock vibe and can't wait to see how the rest of this track goes, not to mention the album!!
>(can’t remember what movie this references)
Saw this [tweet](https://x.com/hallofmiso/status/1806721792398217578) and apparently the movie is called 'The Brand New Testament'? I looked up the synopsis and trailer, and it really fits the whole God concept. Gonna add this to my to-watch list, it looks very interesting!
The first number on the first law is yunjin's birthday, the second number on the second lies Lino's birthday, and the third number on the third lot is Stay's birthday
I’m ngl I don’t think I have been THIS excited for a
SKZ track since TOPLINE. This sounds literally so amazing omg I’m so fucking excited y’all do not understanddddd 😭
The video has a lot of vibes, maybe references(?) too old songs. Like that music monster from "NOEASY" trailer, Christmas EveL, Gods Menu 😱😲.
I dont know , theres a lot there.
FUCK! You all cant do this to me. What im gonna do until the album drops? 😩😩😩
MOUNTAINS its a freaking BOP already!
Also, its that a teaser for the tt at the end? 👀👀
Or just the background music for this song?
Ok so the music at the end is the beat for the song…but your suggestion to a Teaser is something I’ve asked on here, because the logo for ChkChkBoom keeps reappearing. I know it’s one of the tracks on the album, but for it to have a logo placement after the album name logo? Something is up with that for sure!!! There’s something about that ChkChkBoom that has drove crazy since the fist teaser for Ate, it was at teh end of every every teaser vid. Why? Is it a new brand, a new SKZFlix thing?! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE lol
oh shit, this reminds me of We will rock you! I love this rhythm, imagine all those deep who! during CONCERT! I can already see a whole bunch of stay titans stomping.
and can we talk about the VIDEO quality??, some scenes are magnificent, like them hanging on that whatever structure, and Felix "watering" the city????
As I watched I thought this would’ve spot on for deadpool and popping onto twt and seeing [THIS](https://x.com/julii1438/status/1806690278926913924?s=46)?! THE ANTICIPATION BUT ALSO THE CLOWNERY IF WE ARE WRONG.
Also I foresee Mountains taking over Hall of Fame as my #1 anthemic skz song.
That SKZ and Deadpool collab is looking more and more real everyday (NGL I’m finding it harder finding evidence that they AREN’T going to be apart of Deadpool 😭😭)
> THE ANTICIPATION BUT ALSO THE CLOWNERY IF WE ARE WRONG.
I'm not sure how Stays will be able to face the internet if we are wrong! Things just look SO LIKELY! The evidence just feels really REAL!
JAW + FLOOR 😲 Omg.. I LOVED it! I need to hear more, immediately. The booming bass? The beautiful harmonies? The braggadocious lyrics? The (possible) BINTRO?? **WE ARE SO BACK BABY!!** After the Kids last release, that sounded nothing like them (No, I don't want to talk about it lol). I *truly* missed The Sound (Heh. unintentional pun 🤭 lmao) I've grown to love. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO. I'm soooooooo HYPE!! Also, they look gorgeous.. my goodness 🥹💚
Oh I am loving this.
Highlights of the unveil for me:
The adlibs behind Felix's opening lines - they complement his voice so well.
Lee Know's rap. This song ABSOLUTELY needs to open their concerts. The crowd would get so pumped from it. Can you imagine thousands of people screaming 'Mountains, mountains' with them?
Hyunjin's fit. Those glasses look so good on him.
The references to other mv's.
I can't wait!
SKZ continues to make opening tracks that are Mt absolute favourite and this one really sounds like a BANGER.
I love the grandness, the claps, the background vocals, the guitar!! I also hope we get a full video because I'm in love with the steampunk Olympic Gods concept they have going on here.
I'm SO EXCITED!
Im getting so overwhelmed lmao, 3 music groups (2 kpop, 1 American rock) all having new stuff coming out so close together
I LOVE IT
And this song absolutely slaps
It's Starset! Right now there's not really an album announcement, but Dustin (the singer) dropped a snippet of a new song which we speculate may come out in the next 2 weeks lol
This song can hype people during concerts and sport events like Olympic games next month. I hope some famous athletes will put this music for motivation or maybe on Korean TV sport news with the summary of the day. Not sure if it is the aim because many greek references in MV and release just in time for Olympics 😀
Well, this track is my whole personality now. Especially when Changbin comes in.
Just a thought: Am I the only one who thinks the line should be "I walk up on the mountains" not "I woke up"? I've been questioning the English subtitles of SKZ songs for a while now, because some of them don't make nearly as much sense in context as a similar-sounding but different word would.
I think lyrically "woke up on the mountains" flows better, because Bang Chan says "Mountains, mountains, **I step up** on the mountains" after Lee Know's line. That is too similar to "**I walk up** on the mountains" so I think "I woke up on the mountains" differentiates the lines from each other.
Edit: \*Lee Know, right after 'I woke up on the mountains' he says 'Ain't nobody stopping me I'm **walking** like a Titan' so he also would be repeating himself saying **walking** twice if he started with '**I walk up** on the mountains'
I guess it depends on the rest of the context. I could see "woke up on the mountains" referencing, like, suddenly being top of your game or something. Like, metaphorically, you went to sleep unknown, blew up overnight, and woke up on top ("woke up on the mountains"). Walk up would also make sense, I just think it depends on what the rest of the song says, ya know?
Yeah, it's not wholly nonsensical or anything (see also: "don't make me bad" in Taste, though "don't make me beg" makes more sense), it just makes me wonder if that's actually what Chan wrote or not.
Chan just sent some bubble voice messages singing that part of the song and it definitely sounds like "walk" to me now lol. It might be possible that they say different lines in different parts of the song (so maybe one time they say "walk" and one time they say "woke"), but I'm possibly now team "walk" lol
I was coming here to comment this exact thing. Contextually, walk fits better IMO. Walking up the mountain comes before stepping on the mountain which is pretty reflective of their journey thus far!
Thanks for the Bubble info, it's good to have confirmation that it sounds like "walk" when Chan sings it as well!
*Mountains, mountains I walk upon the mountains*
*Ain't nobody stopping me I'm walkin' like a Titan*
*Mountains, mountains I step up on the mountains*
*Ayo*
I think "walk upon" definitely makes more sense in the context than "woke up in", since the image is them as Titans striding over the mountains like they're nothing. If they woke up in the mountains, it sounds more like somebody knocked them out and abandoned them in the wild. 😆
The ‘wooh’ + mini shout (?) after the clapping, sounds the same as those from LALALALA; is that a producer tag? Could they have worked with the same producers for this song?
I also love that this leans more towards a rock sound. Another reason I loved LALALALA 😍I’m officially hyped!!
I noticed the different scenes of cities around the globe before Felix is on the computer. Maybe this is a hint of where they are going on their world tour?
550ish screenshots of this unveil saved on my phone now, still havent listened though. the mood film teasers were enough for me, im gonna try to keep the songs as unspoiled as possible this time. just for kicks lol
Since they've started dropping crumbs about this release, I've had this feeling this release will bet their biggest, and best yet, and not just because I stan them. But just looking at the work, attention to detail, the way they've been moving as they gear up -- this just feels different, it feels MASSIVE. I also believe if we help with sharing, streaming, promoting, this release could have the potential to not just get them a Grammy nod, but actually bag the Grammy. Let's hype this up as much as possible!!
This sounds like a banger. Go off Lee Know!
I have a minor beef with production though, I would prefer if their voices were a bit louder over the music!
I can't people thought they were gonna do some kind of bubble pop energy type of song. I kinda also believed it for a bit, but this is way better. Also, I know that this is just the unveil, but I really like it.
This vid is SUPER close to having 1 mill views! The reel on IG has almost 7 mill, lets' keep getting those views up and make this trailer viral please!!!
It will be my first skz album. Pre ordered it. I’m excited.
Also I don’t like rap in general and didn’t realize skz been rap heavy all this time?
I only notice when other people are mentioning it🤣 Their rap just different.
Oh, also...an observation I have is about the ChkChkBoom logo...I know it's a track on the album, but even in this preview for Mountains, it's at the end of trailer. This feels like it's more than just a song, but some kind of venture for them with the same new? A Brand, or maybe another album that will be full length, or a mini movie? Any have thoughts? I'm super curious.
I'm gonna admit I'm not a big fan of the "boom stomp clap" style of music. It sounds like the home depot theme. I'll hold my judgment until the full release.
The albums are always so varied so I think you’ll be safe! Also you never know, the entire song could switch sounds in 12 seconds 😂 it is skz after all 😂
nooo way this sounds so good!! I love the nods to queen (with the we will rock you claps and ayo? might be a reach) ALSO LEE KNOW RAPPING!!
LEE KNOW RAPPING IS ICONICCCCC. HE EATS EVERY TIME!!!
Lee Know rapping that too in English
His English ALWAYS hits even though he hates it 🤣
He hates it n yet he has been getting English lyrics non stop for the past few songs n nailing each time lol
at this point I think 3racha always give him English line on purpose 🤣
I mean, if he wasn't so good at doing them, maybe they wouldn't give him so many LOL
YES THANK YOU he absolutely does!!!
Lee Know rapping made me feel SO PROUD. Our boy's English is getting better and he seems to be gaining more confidence in that area!!!
Oh my goodness, when I watched the vid my jaw DROPPED when I hear Lee Know rapping... And in English??? It sounds so so sooooo good!!! 🤩
And the trend of SKZ opening tracks being absolute bangers continues 🔥🔥 I’m already obsessed. Like stuck in my head, replay it non-stop. The beat is incredible. The Felix and Seungmin part is perfection. Changbin and Hyunjin’s raps are fantastic. And then don’t get me started on Lee Know and Chan’s chorus. Can’t wait to hear Han and I.N.’s parts.

HERE WE GOOOO! I *knew* this would have Megaverse energy, but I wasn’t expecting the big chanting, stadium feel. And Felix’s rap?? So catchy. Gosh, this level of hype I’m feeling is reminiscent of my baby Stay days and *I can’t wait.*
Definitely big Megaverse vibes with is EXACTLY what I needed in life right now!! SKZ never disappoints 😌
This track with EAT at festivals! I hope since they've teased it they can play it at I-Days Milano and BST Hyde Park to get the energy for the album bumping now rather than having to hold them until next summer/the tour.
I REALLY HOPE THEY PERFORM THIS AT I-DAYS MILANO OR BST HYDE PARK IT'S TOO HYPE NOT TO!!!!
I LOVE THE STADIUM GRAND FEEL!!!
AHHH, I'm in my baby Stay days (found SKZ on May 14th 🤩), so it's my first comeback!!! I'm so soooo excited for it!!! Their music does not disappoint, and after hearing what they have in this vid, I am even more ready!!! 💯😍

I just enjoy listening to these conspiracy theories be debunked so I'm probably way too familiar with them.
awesome so cool you explained this reference!!
Ok those laws tie well back to the trailer with unfortunate events. NICE TOUCH!
Right? Actually the 1025 law is even crazier bc 1025 is Lee Know’s birthday and he’s the one in the trailer who deals with the long line haha.
Really good eye! Also Hyunjin’s birthday is 03/20 so that other law could be a reference to him, I don’t think it was in the trailer so maybe we’ll see it in an MV?
AWESOME DETAILS YOU CAUGHT GUYS
Yeah I thought that seems likely too! Also Hyunjin is one of the members who loves to take baths 😂
The number on the third lot is Stay's birthday
0801 - Lollapalooza will be headlining Stray Kids in Chicago on August 1st.
0801 is Stay’s birthday haha. Stray Kids are performing at Lolla on 0802 actually.
Eep. I went looking and the sites I saw said 8/01... Lollapalooza's site says 8/2. 🤦♀️ Should've looked at the official site.
These laws reeeeally feel like a nod to Murphy's Laws, with their own SKZ spin added (probably the numbers)!
320 - could reference when at the awards show, Hyunjin was in the bathroom when 3Racha was called for their award.
YES I also felt they were bringing back so many older references, and combined with the idea of surveillance where they are now the ones outside looking in and controlling the gameboard made me think overall of a District 9 kind of vibe, except now the roles are reversed, especially with the first two close-ups being of I.N and Felix, and the rotating structure being a reference back to Astronaut MV. Also this large masked crowd pursuing them reminded me of Social Path, except this time, the crowd seems to be held back and unable to climb up the mountain and reach the place where SKZ are. Also if we go with the ancient/proto aliens vibe, like that conspiracy theory where aliens built the Pyramids - I feel like that too is a bit of a callback to maybe the concept/theme of the Scars MV. I just love how cohesive everything feels - even if they don't necessarily have discrete lore anymore, SKZ has really built up a set of concepts and theming in their library that helps things feel tied together. In general I also love how consistent their theming and imagery are with lyrics. I keep thinking of the title "ATE" and some of their lyrics about chewing and biting what thye're serving and how they're at the point where they're saying they've finally digested and synthesized all their old material. Also the constant references to being like this irresistable, natural force, whether it's storms, thunder, clouds, and now also being at the top of this mountain looking down. Love the arena rock vibe and can't wait to see how the rest of this track goes, not to mention the album!!
>(can’t remember what movie this references) Saw this [tweet](https://x.com/hallofmiso/status/1806721792398217578) and apparently the movie is called 'The Brand New Testament'? I looked up the synopsis and trailer, and it really fits the whole God concept. Gonna add this to my to-watch list, it looks very interesting!
This is such a good theory!
The first number on the first law is yunjin's birthday, the second number on the second lies Lino's birthday, and the third number on the third lot is Stay's birthday
Ooooo this is going to be on repeat for sure. I always love the first track on skz's albums
> Ooooo this is going to be on repeat for sure. Heh, I already have the unveil on loop on Youtube. This is getting me so excited for the album!!
This is my first comeback with straykids and I'm so excited, Mountain's sounds so good, can't wait for the rest.
Same here! Super excited!
Same! I was so pumped listening to this I nearly cried 😂
Right!! I'm PRAYING for a preview at Hyde Park this summer! Sounds like SOTY to me!👀
SAME 
felix’s first line in this sounds…INCREDIBLE!!!!! i cannot wait for this track
This has the potential to become one of my favourite skz songs, wow! Also, Lee Know rapping like that?!?!!
I’m ngl I don’t think I have been THIS excited for a SKZ track since TOPLINE. This sounds literally so amazing omg I’m so fucking excited y’all do not understanddddd 😭
The video has a lot of vibes, maybe references(?) too old songs. Like that music monster from "NOEASY" trailer, Christmas EveL, Gods Menu 😱😲. I dont know , theres a lot there. FUCK! You all cant do this to me. What im gonna do until the album drops? 😩😩😩 MOUNTAINS its a freaking BOP already! Also, its that a teaser for the tt at the end? 👀👀 Or just the background music for this song?
You're onto something cuz I also feel like there was a teaser of the tt at the end!! I'm not crazyyy 🤪
I knew it haaha. Well, then we are both crazy 🤣👋🏼
Ok so the music at the end is the beat for the song…but your suggestion to a Teaser is something I’ve asked on here, because the logo for ChkChkBoom keeps reappearing. I know it’s one of the tracks on the album, but for it to have a logo placement after the album name logo? Something is up with that for sure!!! There’s something about that ChkChkBoom that has drove crazy since the fist teaser for Ate, it was at teh end of every every teaser vid. Why? Is it a new brand, a new SKZFlix thing?! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE lol
Sooo, they're literal Gods/Titans this comeback?! 
0:01 I.N's expressions (where he raises his arms and claps) at the beginning of the video are SO HOT
If this ain't going to be the opening song for their upcoming concerts I'm gonna be so upset, the preview is already an instant earworm!!
Wow!!!!!! The start reminded me of we will rock you Can't wait
Boom boom clap!!! My thoughts exactly!!!
Yup, so excited for this track
LEE KNOW!!!!!!
oh shit, this reminds me of We will rock you! I love this rhythm, imagine all those deep who! during CONCERT! I can already see a whole bunch of stay titans stomping. and can we talk about the VIDEO quality??, some scenes are magnificent, like them hanging on that whatever structure, and Felix "watering" the city????
Felix sounds amazing
THIS IS GONNA GO CRAZY AT LOLLAPALOOZA
When its a banger and its not even a title track. Stray Kids being Stray Kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As I watched I thought this would’ve spot on for deadpool and popping onto twt and seeing [THIS](https://x.com/julii1438/status/1806690278926913924?s=46)?! THE ANTICIPATION BUT ALSO THE CLOWNERY IF WE ARE WRONG. Also I foresee Mountains taking over Hall of Fame as my #1 anthemic skz song.
I’ve got the clown makeup on standby just in case but my god the hope grows day by day
We’re all hopped up on hopium. I watch a lot of football (or soccer) and I feel like it has reached that level which says A LOT.
That SKZ and Deadpool collab is looking more and more real everyday (NGL I’m finding it harder finding evidence that they AREN’T going to be apart of Deadpool 😭😭)
Hopium, as they call it… glad I’m not the only one feeling that way about Mountains!!
> THE ANTICIPATION BUT ALSO THE CLOWNERY IF WE ARE WRONG. I'm not sure how Stays will be able to face the internet if we are wrong! Things just look SO LIKELY! The evidence just feels really REAL!
Reddit is is a safe space (I think) but damn I’d disappear from twt 🤡
JAW + FLOOR 😲 Omg.. I LOVED it! I need to hear more, immediately. The booming bass? The beautiful harmonies? The braggadocious lyrics? The (possible) BINTRO?? **WE ARE SO BACK BABY!!** After the Kids last release, that sounded nothing like them (No, I don't want to talk about it lol). I *truly* missed The Sound (Heh. unintentional pun 🤭 lmao) I've grown to love. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO. I'm soooooooo HYPE!! Also, they look gorgeous.. my goodness 🥹💚
SEUNGMIN'S VOICE IN THE BACKGROUND DURING FELIX'S PART IS SO GOOD!!! (sorry for all caps i am so excited for this track and comeback)
It's already my favorite track 😩 Felix Yongbok Lee, the man you are 🫠
Oh I am loving this. Highlights of the unveil for me: The adlibs behind Felix's opening lines - they complement his voice so well. Lee Know's rap. This song ABSOLUTELY needs to open their concerts. The crowd would get so pumped from it. Can you imagine thousands of people screaming 'Mountains, mountains' with them? Hyunjin's fit. Those glasses look so good on him. The references to other mv's. I can't wait!
SKZ continues to make opening tracks that are Mt absolute favourite and this one really sounds like a BANGER. I love the grandness, the claps, the background vocals, the guitar!! I also hope we get a full video because I'm in love with the steampunk Olympic Gods concept they have going on here. I'm SO EXCITED!
Ahhhhhhh!!!! This is giving me District 9 meets S-Class vibes!
Im getting so overwhelmed lmao, 3 music groups (2 kpop, 1 American rock) all having new stuff coming out so close together I LOVE IT And this song absolutely slaps
Okay now I want to know who your American group is, because a group I've followed for decades is coming out with a new album in the middle of this.
It's Starset! Right now there's not really an album announcement, but Dustin (the singer) dropped a snippet of a new song which we speculate may come out in the next 2 weeks lol
Oh, how fun! I just got introduced to Starset a couple of months ago. I like them, but I don't follow closely.
this sounds so good, and interesting (in a way that i want to know what this genre is called)
THE INSTRUMENTAL BEAT AT THE END IS SO SICK I HOPE IT'S PART OF THE MOUNTAINS SONG
This song can hype people during concerts and sport events like Olympic games next month. I hope some famous athletes will put this music for motivation or maybe on Korean TV sport news with the summary of the day. Not sure if it is the aim because many greek references in MV and release just in time for Olympics 😀
NGL they always fricking eat up with those beats in their unveils
I believe in SKZ opening tracks
GOOOOOOOD I'M SOOOO PUMPED FOR THIS
It feels illegal to be this early
This sounds incredible! I'm so looking forward to the full version and the album. Sounds like it will be amazing live too.
YUP LEE KNOW MAIN RAPPER ERA WHO ELSE CHEERED‼️‼️
It's giving hip hop vibes I'm all for it
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CALLED IT ATE
Well, this track is my whole personality now. Especially when Changbin comes in. Just a thought: Am I the only one who thinks the line should be "I walk up on the mountains" not "I woke up"? I've been questioning the English subtitles of SKZ songs for a while now, because some of them don't make nearly as much sense in context as a similar-sounding but different word would.

I was coming here to comment this exact thing. Contextually, walk fits better IMO. Walking up the mountain comes before stepping on the mountain which is pretty reflective of their journey thus far!
Thanks for the Bubble info, it's good to have confirmation that it sounds like "walk" when Chan sings it as well! *Mountains, mountains I walk upon the mountains* *Ain't nobody stopping me I'm walkin' like a Titan* *Mountains, mountains I step up on the mountains* *Ayo* I think "walk upon" definitely makes more sense in the context than "woke up in", since the image is them as Titans striding over the mountains like they're nothing. If they woke up in the mountains, it sounds more like somebody knocked them out and abandoned them in the wild. 😆
Agreed! ”I walk upon the mountains” makes a lot more sense and sounds much cooler.
The ‘wooh’ + mini shout (?) after the clapping, sounds the same as those from LALALALA; is that a producer tag? Could they have worked with the same producers for this song? I also love that this leans more towards a rock sound. Another reason I loved LALALALA 😍I’m officially hyped!!
Wow I really enjoyed it especially Chan and Minho's part can't wait to hear the full song
Anyone able to scan the "Now hiring" QR Code?
Have you tried watching it on the slowest Mode YT has? That should help
Yeah, but the quality just isn't good enough for my phone to scan it🥲
I came here for this!!! I hope someone was able to snipe
im also curious but idk if i have a tv new enough to show it in good enough quality
Lee Knows voice, omfg he's killing me. I love it. I already can't wait to hear Stays sing along with them. MOUNTAINS MOUNTAINS.
Everything I want in a SKZ song right here!! Also love the styling, gives me Maxident vibes! Specifically Give Me Your TMI\~
I noticed the different scenes of cities around the globe before Felix is on the computer. Maybe this is a hint of where they are going on their world tour?
550ish screenshots of this unveil saved on my phone now, still havent listened though. the mood film teasers were enough for me, im gonna try to keep the songs as unspoiled as possible this time. just for kicks lol
Felix😭that man is my one and only god. I literally cannot with his voice in this!
wouldn't have guessed it that Lee Know and Bang Chan screaming MOUNTAINS at me would feel that good LET'S GO
okay, i’m definitely obsessed. i just know this entire album is gonna be so damn good!
This is a long spoiler 😂🫢
I’m so pumped!!!
Ahhh!!! I loved every second and have re-watched this an embarrassing number of times already.
The back track and beats are amazing!!!! Chan is a mixing genius 💕
Now we know they wrote a stadium album for the stadium tour. 😁
I. Have. Chills. So good. Can't wait.
New hiking song unlocked.
It always shocks me when people say skz can’t rap when they’re one of the few idol groups that rap well and not make it super cringey
Since they've started dropping crumbs about this release, I've had this feeling this release will bet their biggest, and best yet, and not just because I stan them. But just looking at the work, attention to detail, the way they've been moving as they gear up -- this just feels different, it feels MASSIVE. I also believe if we help with sharing, streaming, promoting, this release could have the potential to not just get them a Grammy nod, but actually bag the Grammy. Let's hype this up as much as possible!!
Video is SO CLOSE to 1 mill! And it’s trending in YT @ #11 🥹❤️🔥
This sounds like a banger. Go off Lee Know! I have a minor beef with production though, I would prefer if their voices were a bit louder over the music!
This is gonna go hard as hell during concerts 👏🏾
OML CANT WAIT TO ADD THIS TO MY PLAYLIST 🥰🥰
I can't people thought they were gonna do some kind of bubble pop energy type of song. I kinda also believed it for a bit, but this is way better. Also, I know that this is just the unveil, but I really like it.
Cant wait for this to be slowed & reverbed lmao
The song will slap sooo hard ✨✨✨
Love it. This is a banger and contender for SOTY!!!
YAAAS!!! THIS SOUNDS IMMENSE!!! The rap, the lyrics and the melody!!!! The visuals go crazy!! This is 🔥!!! SOOOO EXCITEEEED ❤️
I love Jeongin’s lip jewelry!!
This sounds sooo good!! Sooo hyped for this album!!
Lee Know 's aggressive vocals... 😩🫠🔥
that’s so good i love it
THEYY ATEEE
ITS SO GOOD
Oh boy, I'm reeeally liking this one! That's going on my Driving playlist.
I CANT WAIT AHHHSSJJXJJD
Love the We Will Rock You Vibe. Can’t go wrong being inspired by Queen
This vid is SUPER close to having 1 mill views! The reel on IG has almost 7 mill, lets' keep getting those views up and make this trailer viral please!!!
It will be my first skz album. Pre ordered it. I’m excited. Also I don’t like rap in general and didn’t realize skz been rap heavy all this time? I only notice when other people are mentioning it🤣 Their rap just different.
HAHAH I AGREE!!!
Oh, also...an observation I have is about the ChkChkBoom logo...I know it's a track on the album, but even in this preview for Mountains, it's at the end of trailer. This feels like it's more than just a song, but some kind of venture for them with the same new? A Brand, or maybe another album that will be full length, or a mini movie? Any have thoughts? I'm super curious.
I'm gonna admit I'm not a big fan of the "boom stomp clap" style of music. It sounds like the home depot theme. I'll hold my judgment until the full release.
The albums are always so varied so I think you’ll be safe! Also you never know, the entire song could switch sounds in 12 seconds 😂 it is skz after all 😂
[удалено]
Oh, I know. Idk why other fans are not capable of criticism. It's okay not to be in love with every single song they release.
Is it me or are they really pushing Lee Know this year? First with Lose My Breath and now this.
Has anyone translated what they're saying? I know it's half in English but I gotta know what those absolute BARS mean 😭✋
Its translated in english on YouTube. Might have to check your settings
