In their title track "Bubble," STAYC says not to hate their difference (hate or hate). Since possibilities increase exponentially at every moment, those in the trade refrain from casually mentioning causality. Rather than being swayed by a stupid bubble that will vanish, STAYC sings of a future that nobody knows. No matter what anyone does, STAYC sings that they will never change. As can be seen from being attacked even through their lyrics, STAYC packs what they want to say into the song without leaving any space for ad-libs.
This era was a festival that led to the first concert and the first full-scale tour. In the next era, as the members’ average age reached adulthood, STAYC entered a period of deeper reflection on their musical essence and identity. The halo effect of being teenage rookies ended here. The Japanese title track "LIT" embodies that transitional phase. Compared with the 2026 full Japanese album, "LIT" is musically more joyful, but clearly more reserved than 2026 in showcasing each member’s vocals.
