SKZ-Replay 2026 Pt.1 is the fourth compilation album by South Korean boy band Stray Kids. It was released through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records on August 1, 2026, to commemorate the eighth anniversary of their official fan club Stay. Similar to SKZ-Replay (2022), the compilation features songs unofficially released from their SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record series from 2025 to 2026, as well as their solo songs performed at the 5-Star Dome Tour in 2023.
Background
SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record are video series by South Korean boy band Stray Kids to showcase their self-written songs and covers. The series is published via online video platforms. SKZ-Player is released as a music video, while SKZ-Record an audio video. The band released their compilation album, SKZ-Replay, in December 2022, which collected SKZ-Player and SKZ-Record from 2018 to 2022, as well as their original songs.
In 2023, most Stray Kids' members debuted their unreleased solo songs at the 5-Star Dome Tour—Bang Chan's "Baby", Changbin's "My Name", Hyunjin's "Mic&Brush", Han's "Don't Say", Felix's "Rev It Up", and Seungmin's "Perfume"—while Lee Know and I.N performed their solo songs from SKZ-Replay—"Limbo" and "Hug Me", respectively. On the same tour, the band performed the Korean version of "Battle Ground" live for the first time at the Seoul shows, originally recorded in Japanese and included on their Japanese-language album The Sound (2023).
In 2025, Bang Chan wrote and performed "Roman Empire" for Italian fashion brand Fendi, for which he is a brand ambassador. Hyunjin surprisingly uploaded a music video for his solo song "Lover" on March 20, 2026, his 26th birthday. The next five days, the band released "Stay" to commemorate the group's eighth anniversary since their debut in 2018.
