Background and release[edit]

On April 4, 2022, two weeks after the group's sixth Korean extended play (EP) Oddinary release, Stray Kids announced their second Japanese EP, scheduled for release on June 22, after their first Japan leg of their Maniac World Tour ends.[1] Pre-orders for the EP began on the same date, coming in four editions on CD–limited A, limited B, regular, and FC. The limited A edition additionally includes DVD, while the limited B SpecialZine.[2] In a Pia Music Complex magazine interview on April 21, Bang Chan stated that the EP will give the group's "refreshing power" and "blow away all the heat of summer", while Changbin said that they will show both "unique" and "different" side of the EP.[3]

From May 12 to 16, Stray Kids posted individual and group teaser images, depicting a concept of circus.[4][5] On May 16, the EP's title was revealed, named Circus, alongside the cover artworks for each edition, and the track listing, containing three new tracks, and the Japanese versions of "Venom" and "Maniac" from Oddinary (2022), and "Silent Cry" from Noeasy (2021). Additionally, the limited A edition includes the music video of the previous-release single "Scars", and its behind-the-scene.[6][5][7] The EP was preceded by three single: "Maniac (Japanese ver.)", released on May 18,[8] "Your Eyes" on June 1,[9] and the title track on June 10.[10] The latter two were released alongside their accomapying music videos.[9][10]

Music and lyrics[edit]

Circus is nineteen minutes and eleven seconds long, consisting of six tracks.[6] It opens with the title track, "Circus", a hip hop-dance track centered on the circus theme, featuring "vaulting" pluck bass, "addictive" vocal chops, and "solid" drums, which make sounds like elephant footsteps in the circus".[10] It is followed by the second track "Fairytale", based on the theme "the ideal love of the world is all like a fairy tale".[11] The final track, "Your Eyes", is a ballad love song driven by piano about the lover's gaze with the feeling of anxiousness sometimes but still wishing to be happy in the relationship.[9]

Promotion[edit]

To promote Circus, Stray Kids appeared on the covers and gave interviews for the July–October 2022 issue of Japanese magazines CanCam.[12] Mini,[13] Nikkei Entertainment!,[14] Pia Music Complex,[15][16] Vivi,[17] Smart,[18] and Rolling Stone Japan (only interview).[19] The group appeared for televised interview at Venue101 on May 12,[20] as well as the five-hour-special Kami Oto: Kamigata Otomatsuri on May 28,[21] The Time on June 21,[22] Mezamashi TV on June 23,[23] and Asadesu on June 29.[24] FamilyMart, HEP Five, and FuRyu partnered with Stray Kids for several campaigns to commemorate the release of Circus in June.[25][26][27]

Stray Kids gave the debut performance of "Circus" at the first Kobe show of the Maniac World Tour in Japan on June 11.[28] On the same day, they performed "Maniac (Japanese ver.)" at Venue 101, broadcast from World Memorial Hall, where they held the concert.[29] The group appeared on the morning show Sukkiri on June 14, to perform "Circus".[30] Following the EP release, Stray Kids held the pre-recorded livestream event to introduced the EP via YouTube, TikTok, and Abema.[31] The group performed "Circus", along with "Back Door", at Buzz Rhythm 02 on July 9,[32] and the two-hour special Music Station on August 5.[33]
