CHEESE is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It is the first track from their second studio album NOEASY.

Composition

“	We expressed our own naughty colors with a fun word play on "cheese", which we use for smiling, and an analogy to different types of cheese. You'll have fun spotting the main lyrics from our past titles in the witty lyrics. You'll also enjoy the powerful rock sound, gritty bass synths, and heavy kick.	”
― Stray Kids' Comment

Reviews

“	Reclaiming the criticism Stray Kids have received in their career, “Cheese” not only brings the lyricism which is a big FU to their haters but also the “noisy” production. An incredible opener for the album, “Cheese” contains some of Stray Kids' most clever lyricism. And also pays homage to two of Stray Kids' most popular experimental tracks: “부작용 (Side Effects)” and “神메뉴 (God's Menu).” The industrial rock production of the song plays into the “noisy” stereotype but Stray Kids make it work as they always have.	”

Trivia

• The song was created with the British animation Wallace and Gromit in mind, particularly the catchphrase "Cheese, Gromit, Cheese".
• Self referencing lyrics include:
  • "DU DU DU DU DU DU" (chorus of "God's Menu")
  • "What's so funny about a headache?" (hook of "Side Effects")
  • "What's so funny about pigeon and magpie?" (Changbin's verse in "God's Menu")
  • "What's so funny about cawing of a crow?" (crow sound in "Awkward Silence")
• The line "Index, (thumb) middle, (index) ring and little fingers what?" describes folding the index, middle, ring and pinky fingers, leaving the thumb up. Only listening to the adlibs however makes you fold the thumb, index, ring and pinky fingers, leaving the middle finger up; Stray Kids' implied gesture towards those who criticize their music.
