"MANIAC" was produced by (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) in collaboration with Versachoi .
Stray Kids' "MANIAC" music video, the lead single from their 2022 EP ODDINARY , is a visual and sonic exploration of embracing one's "odd" side in a world that demands conformity.
: The members transition between a mundane, "ordinary" urban setting and a neon-lit, chaotic world representing their inner "maniacs".
: A portmanteau of "Odd" and "Ordinary," the video suggests that being different is what makes us human.
: It features a wide range, from the notably deep bass notes of Felix and Hyunjin (F♯2) to the high notes of Bang Chan (F♯5). Visual Highlights
: The "Drill" dance move during the chorus—where members mimic the turning of a screw in their heads—has become a viral point of the performance.
: A "powerful" trap and EDM-pop track influenced by Middle Eastern sounds.
