Stray Kids put on a dance clinic in the cinematic video for the title track to their just-released five-song DO IT EP, the latest effort in their SKZ IT mixtape series. The visual opens with a scene of a grey, dystopian city in ruins, with thunder cracking and ominous black birds soaring over crumbling buildings overgrown with vegetation.

The scene then shifts to the inside of one of the dilapidated structures, revealing an army of figures dressed in white robes, their faces obscured by masks as rapper Changbin floats down from the ceiling on a souped-up flying broom, his outfit accented by a black cowboy hat and matching leather jacket.
He busts a rhyme as the rest of the eight-man boy band come into frame and singer Seungmin croons the song’s yearning refrain, “Oh baby trust our instincts/ Feel the rhythm of our bodies moving, baby/ Right this instant.” The mysterious figures in white remain frozen, scattered around the room in statue-like poses as the black-clad boy banders bust out some group chroeo, kicking the palette from black and white to full technicolor, bringing the dancers to life as singer Felix exhorts, “Do it, do it, do it, do it.”
The funky bilingual song continues shifting between rapping in South Korean and the English choruses, with members Han, Lee Know, Hyunjin, Bang Chan and I.N hopping in at various points with spotlight dance breaks and gang vocals. With hints of Harry Potter-like magic afoot, the clip zooms to a close with a glimpse of a giant fireball glowing inside the building as confetti rains down on the group during a final, all-hands on-deck dance routine.
The follow-up to August’s KARMA album — which landed the group their seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart — is the second in the band’s SKZ IT mixtape series and it features the title track (and a “Festival” version of same), as well as parallel single, “Divine,” and the tracks “Holiday” and “Photobook.”
