This song is about obsession (regardless of what the object of that obsession is) and how unhealthy and toxic it is. You should have a watch of some of the videos that they did talking about this song and why they both wrote it. I loved it the second I heard it and when the video ended I immediately bought it. Top 5 favorite Stray Kids songs for me.

​​​@@reannawalker8448people are trying to find some tricky subtext. But there are no tricks in this particular song. This is definitely Hyunjin's text. Here "red lights" = passion, excitement and obsession.

I love how Anthony immediately looked past the sexual overtones of this song and really looked deep into the meaning of the song- one of the common things you see in reactions to this song in particular is freaking out over how sexy the song sounds at first listen. Not many people have actually dug further than the original tone of the song and I’m so glad Anthony did that. Red Lights is about obsession and compulsion, how it can negatively effect people (if I’m not mistaken) and since Bangchan is Australian (like me) his English is as good as his Korean, though if you look at interviews of the skz members, they’re all very good with English and most of them can go beyond basic sentences. Both Chan and Felix are Aussie and they’re all so talented. I’m so glad Anthony likes the song cause I do too

Frrr like they don't even pay attention to the real meaning and the layers of the song and the whole production that they worked hard on it.

What you said is true 100% but Hyunjin has actually said also that, "Regarding the creation of Red Lights, Bang Chan and I wanted to do something sexy/sexual and so we created Red Lights together. It does have a deeper meaning behind the lyrics etc... but originally all we wanted to do was something sexy." So it's not just about obsession/compulsion, it also shows off sexiness too. I'd say it's 75% about obsession/compulsion and 25% about sexiness. One of the best comments was when Hyunjin said this, the rest of the Stray Kids, I think Changbin immediately responded by saying, "Wait, you wanted to do something sexy WITHOUT US?!"

I do not even understand why we have to "look past the sexual overtones" of the song. It is so good because it is sexy, it is so damn good because they found the courage to bring that part of themselves out without any filters. I am extremely happy that they did that and they did it extremely well!

It's funny watching Chan and Hyunjin react to this video on vLive. It's like night and day. Chan gets all embarrassed and hides his face and makes weird screaming noises. Chan has a reputation of being very wild on stage but can't stand watching his "wild" self and hides in a pillow lol Hyunjin's just like "It's not that racey" *plays the video. 30seconds in* "Maybe it's a little racey" And just enjoys the rest of the video like "Yeah, I did that" lol Also, ya did Chan dirty with pausing at 5:50 lol

Yes they are talking about being so obsessed with doing their work, making music.

I truly believe Stray Kids are the most talented group (male or female) to debut since BTS.

I agree I mean the talent is overflowing,

"Audibly Pleasing" that's the correct word for this song. I just love this song of Stray Kids the video the vocals the aesthetic every thing is on point. The song is addicting and gives you goosebumps if you close your eyes and listen. As you said this song is dope. Thank you for reacting to this.

Stray kids World domination

They both represent the same person, Like fighting with their own selfs, thats why they do everything mirrored. At the end Hyunjin gets Bang Chan, like he couldnt escape from himself. Also you can see that they switch between black and White which represents that they couldnt stay only on the white side (which is being in control more or less) 😁✨ btw I loved your reaction, this song is a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼

Hello 👋 fellow Aussie STAYs.... Yeah when I heard there was Aussies in the group I gave them a listen.... Though I feel a bit of an odd Stay out as I'm older, I got into Kpop Years ago coz my generation is actually 2nd generation, and I'm a V.I.P for life But definitely a STAY they are just different like BigBang... both groups did their thing and don't care what others say....

The tattoos are fake🤣 and im also amazed at how u instantly got it right on the meaning behind the song. Because Red Lights is a sexy song, people tend to not look passed the sexy tone and look into the lyrics which has a deeper meaning. Red Lights talks about your obsession with something. that could literally be with a person or an object or whatever u want it to be (its up to you). But the literal meaning behind the lyrics according to them, is their obsession with their work. even tho they love what they do, it sometimes feel like they are obsessed, that their work has this tight grip around them. there is a series that Stray Kids did when they created the unit songs like discussing what they want the song to be about and even discussed how they want the MVs to look like with the director. Its called 'SKZ Song Camp: Howl in Harmony'. I believe there are 4-5 episodes. Because Stray Kids is a heavily self-produced group and all members have particpated in the process of writing and/or composed songs besides 3racha, stray kids tends to go into units. Our original units are 3racha, Danceracha and Vocalracha. Since fixed positions are no longer within the group, the members are put into these subunits besides 3racha (since they have been around before skz debuted) to make it easier for newer fans since these are their main focus even tho they are all rounders. but anyway, if im not mistaken, this is the 2nd time they went into sub-units to create songs to put in the album. We Go (3racha), My Universe (Vocalracha ft Changbin) & WOW (Danceracha) which is in the repackage album IN LIFE. Red Lights (Bang Chan, Hyunjin), Surfin' (Changbin, Lee Know & Felix) and Gone Away (Han, Seungmin & I.N) are in their latest 2nd full length album that came out on Aug 23rd called NOEASY (if u say it fast alot, it'll sound like 'NOISY'🤭)

Next..Straykids - Back Door

Please react to Stray Kid’s “Backdoor”, “Cheese”, “Easy” and “Mirroh”.

Easy, yesss

Another beautiful song! Please react to "Cheese" Stray Kids! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you always!

And just to make this song even better is the fact that both Bang Chan and Hyujin created this song together, from the lyrics, the music and the arrangement. We love a self-producer group

He is a main dancer of the team. If you’re interested, you should watch ‘Psycho -Hyunjin fancam’ . One of the his legendary fancam

I love this song and MV. Great reaction, thank you! Yes, I think they talk about anxiety and being workaholics. Btw, I know you liked Post Malone's Motley Crew. So, Hyunjin released last week a masterful, amazing choreography to that song in Studio Choom, if you want to check it out. It's so beautiful!

Thanks for reacting to Stray Kids! This is a true masterpiece, and it takes hold of you no matter how many times you watch it.

This song in another level is just wow

I love the strings and the electric guitar in this song!

Stray Kids Tortoise and the Hare next! thank you anthony.

This song is just everything 😆😆😆bangchan and Felix were raised in Australia

Christopher (Bang Chan) grew up in Australia, as did Felix. Both are obviously fluent in English, but several members also speak English quite well as well. Oh, one thing about Straykids, they're all able to switch from rapping to singing and vice versa. They have roles, but these are not strict at all as the boys are TALENTED!!! Honestly? The diversity amongst the members is pretty incredible. I REALLY love this group!!!

Amazing, sensual, beautiful song and video. And very coolly they showed the essence of a toxic, abusive relationship, when you want to leave a person, and something holds you like chains next to that person, despite the fact that the relationship literally "suffocates" you (like Hyunjin and Bang Chan each other in the clip). I'm absolutely thrilled.

Thank you for your reaction Anthony! You should check out Stray Kids Pre-debut videos like "Hellevator" & "District 9"..they were so young back then but you can see from the videos how talented and amazing they all are..and also check out their other amazing videos like "Back Door" & "Miroh" ..their latest video "Cheese" and Japanese version "Scars" video.

This song like you said is audibly pleasing & hits when it needs to🖤 I'm deff a STAY

Wow... His reaction is just addictive ❤

Stray Kids are setting records among the 4th generations groups. Can’t compare them with BTS because they are different in many ways, but both groups are amazing.

This one is a MUST!! Like only a few reacted to this MASTER PIECE!. Oh Please @Anthony Ray 🥺 🙏... Here is the link of the lyrics Video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoaCrpOogdW7ibw.html _The Tortoise And The Hare 🤗

Loved the reaction to such a mind-blowingly excellent song!!! This song grabbed me in the first 8 bars, genuinely. The screaming guitars, the distorted bass, the amazing vocals... just brilliant. Stray Kids are always surprising in their versatility.

Love how you look at their lyrical meanings, Anthony. Thank you for reacting to BangChan and Hyunjin. They spoke about the meanings in one of the "Howl in Harmony Camp" m/v's. They discussed that it is related to their mutual obsession with perfecting their efforts in music (BangChan is the primary producer of the music of Stray Kids and Hyunjin who was street casted and knew very little about dance till training in the JYP system -he's actually one of the younger members of the group- also writes his own songs and dances) something akin to OCD. Unable to rest till they could finish producing, writing or perfection in dance. 3racha were the first of the groups members (BangChan, Seo Changbin and Han Jisung), with Chani asked by JYP to choose the other group members (unheard of in Kpop).

Chan explains the topic of the song in a vlive. You should check out the hilarious back and forth via vlives between Chan and Hyunjin trying to say the other wrote it 🤣

honestly, red lights is such a beautiful song.

DOPE reaction for a DOPE song, love how thoughtful you are with trying to figure out the message/meaning behind their songs. Yeah this one is about their obsession with their work, the leader Bang Chan is known to stay up all night sometimes to the early morning working on production for their music. Lovin the Stray Kids music reactions! They have many more that I think you'll enjoy, you should check out their song "Easy"

Thanks for your reaction. I really recommend you the song "Maze of memories" by Stray Kids

I'm a STAY and I love your reactions to Stray Kids' music!! This music is about obsession just like others said in the comments. I'm also a Monbebe, a fan of Monsta X, I think you're gonna like the song Gambler it's a BANGER!!!

You should also see Hyunjin Artist of the month performance

Long time Army, new Stay... You made me lol when you broke the news to Bangchan about his suit having a large hole in the back.... This song is sexy, with the elevtric guitar and the MV is definitely sexy. You should check out God's Menu of you haven't already.

Love your reactions man.

I really love your reaction videos. Looks so genuine. Please do more Stray Kids 😭

More stray kids please! 🙏🏻 I love your reactions ❤️

Oh my jam... Thank you. Please react to stray kids Hyunjin performance cover on Post Malone's 'motley crew' song for [Artist of the month]...Dope👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

Red lights is an amazing song!!! Please check also "Hyunjin Artist of the month" on Studio Choom youtube channel! His performance is so cool!!! 🤩

i love your reaction to stray kids !! the enthusiasm, curiosity , he even try to deconstruct the lyrics every time 😍

I am obsessed with this song

Мы дождались этой реакции)) я ожидала больше шока от него))

its a unit for their newest album NOEASY, this song talks about their 'OCD' tendencies esp in their works. i highly recommend you react to SKZ PLAYER Drive by Chan and Lee Know. 😊

I’m obsessed with your Stray Kids reactions

Finally!!! I've been dying for more Stray kids from you! I know your super busy but this is great! Thank you!!! 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘

You can always count on Stray Kids to drop that dark and deep bass at some point in a song. Love it

I was waiting for this so much GRACIAS And hello from Puerto Rico

Just chillin' watching your videos🤍

I love that you actually took the time to look into the actual lyrics and meanings rather than just seeing "chains ooooo sexy"

if you like them, hellevator, side effects, and back door by them could also be your type

I don't know if you already know, but this song and the clip were made at "SKZ Song Camp". It's a four-episode show that showcases their entire creative process. The show's on the Stray Kids channel. They made the units and thought about the concept of the three songs (Red Lights, Surfin and Gone Away) and their clips. they're geniuses!!!

ey just found this out, thanks for reacting

they said that the song is about their obssesion with their work in the music industry, something like that.

Both Bang Chan and Felix grew up in Australia. Their English are Spot On.

This song should be a part of an action/racer type film

God dududu Kingdom performance, mix of Dududu from blackpin and God menu from stray kids

2:22 I mean, they are clearly talking about driving 🙂🙃🕳

This song is a banger. Hyunjin was spot-lighted on Choom artist of the month for Oct. He is so impressive. Hope you can react to it. I love this whole group. They are so underrated.I know you love BTS so you should check SKZ cover of Dionysus and DNA. They did so good. But for see the artist of the month. Amazing

Thanks for your reaction 🙏

I do hope you react more of Stray kids, they never disappoints 😊🔥

It's like a whole new version of magic Mike to raise your blood pressure 🤣💪

the most chill reaction and i LOVE it!! the tattoo is just a make up while they're in black outfits. they didn't have it in white outfits.

[Artist of the Month] 'Motley Crew' re-recorded by Stray kids HYUNJIN I'm waiting for your reaction

He lived in Australie.Felix too.Their english is aamaaazing, and the aussie accent,, yummy:)))

Stray Kids-Maniac MV is out now

Loved the reaction but I love how you analyzed how it could show their battling, their loneliness or their connection to music when the lyrics are literally just Hyunjin being horny 😭😭😭

I think the lyrics is all about obsession.

Bang Chan would really love him interpreting with him to us Stays because they tend to say something different from the obvious!!! It's cute tho

I love how innocent you are to think it's only about their career as an idol 😂

Their voices are perfect😍 I love bang Chan ♥️…my bias Bang Chan and bias workeer is Hyunjin This song is so hot 🔥..Omg …..Hyunjin and Bang Chan they are is so cool

I heard the song is actually about their mutual battle with OCD. It's a love/hate relationship that absolutely controls their every thought and action.

CAN YOU ALSO REACTS TO THEIR SONG " EASY " . IT IS ONE OF THEIR RAP HEAVY SONGS . THAAANKYOU

Lmao the way he says bangchans English so good... yes that normally happens when hes from Australia! 😂

The whole of the album that this song is on - No Easy - is a a no skip album. You should also check out the other songs, there is a few other sub-unit songs but they are also really good. I highly recommend Cheese and Domino, but if you have time you should listen to them all. There is a few songs on there that are a bit softer but they are good as well :)

They are talking about their obsession towards their work. For example they're producing songs and dances nonstop. So it became an obsession for them that they can not quit

Yes they are talking about music

I'm an ARMY and a STAY and i think after BTS, stray kids is the most talented band❤️❤️❤️ love them too much...💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️

Thank you for once again a honest reaction. I respect you for pausing the video and then talking instead of talking over the video.. Can you please check out more of KPOP? Here are some suggestions; Stray Kids - Cheese , Back Door, Thunderous, God’s Menu, Mirror, Surfin .. BTS - August D, Euphoria, Make it Right, Idol, TWICE - The Feels, Likey, Can’t Stop Me.. If you haven’t done them yet, i would love to see you react to them! Have a good day!👋🏻

"There is a hole on your back " had me dying....😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the reaction broo🤘

I think the lyrics is all about love addiction.

I love this song!😍😍

Chan is my bais from stray kids 💓💓💓

The only one that got it immediately. Their talking about their obsession with being artists. Bang Chan for example doesn’t sleep he works all night and has a habit of forgetting to eat. He knows it’s not good but he loves it and he wants to be great. He can’t breathe without it. In fact the way describes it performing, dancing, singing, and producing is his sustenance like food water and air. He can’t live without it but it’s unforgiving and can be very unhealthy

Waiting for more reactions from SKZ🛐🛐🛐

Please react to more of them, they're really talented, all 8 of them, and they have a lot of different styles of music.

Please react to cheese next! Its one of my favorite tracks off the album.

old video, but the way ive interpreted this mv and song since i saw it is abusive/toxic relationships, and kinda like, not wanting to get out of it yk? like its addictive and obsessive. you see the red lights (red flags) but you choose to ignore them constantly 'all i see is red lights' 'you know i cant leave you alone' and then yk, the chains kinda symbolizing being stuck in it and if you even try to pull away you will be pulled back into it if i explained this well idk but thats what i think personally, and then the other thing i thought was bdsm i am not serious about the bdsm part

Please, react to these songs: - Miroh - Cheese - Back Door - Hellevator - District 9 - The Tortoise and The Hare (this song is crazy) - Hyunjin (AOTM) - N/S (street vr.) - Domino (dance practice) - I got it (HAN Jisung) - Runner's High (3Racha)

BACK DOOOOOOOOR - SKZ

technically red lights is about ocd (obssesion compulsive disorder) but in the same time the boys wanted to do a sexy concept and no hyunjin and bang chan doesn’t have tattooes :)

Finally stray kids pls react to them more!

I think you actually nailed it with "Maybe it's the music talking to them" because uuuh was it Chan? Maybe - said that it's about obsession, compulsion and on the one hand, we clearly have that sexual BDSM theme here, but on the other hand, he mentioned it's their occasional love-hate relationship with making music because they just can't stop producing songs, staying up all night again, going deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, addicted to it although it sometimes drives them insane. And I really really loved how you picked up on that!

Red lights of the recording studio...

thanks for the reaction

Drive by bang Chan, and Lee Know should be next just to keep the mood :)
