CASE 143 is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It is the first and title track from their eighth mini album MAXIDENT.

Composition

“	For the first time, Stray Kids will perform a title track about love. We tried to express our feelings of love in a more straightforward way, comparing the confusion of newfound feelings to an "event" or analyzing love with the code "143 (I LOVE YOU)".	”
― Stray Kids' Comment

Reviews

“	Stray Kids stay true to their loud legacy while entwining romance and angst: the vocalists keep it sweet and the rappers wrestle gruffly with love's mind-addling power. However, it's the chorus that surprises, lean to the point of bare-bones yet instantly, undeniably catchy.	”
