Composition

“	"This is our time to rise and shine. This is our flow so step off the show" is a declaration of war to the established generation that doesn't understand the imagination of Stray Kids. It's the first time we've done a unit combination, but we made the song with more emphasis on rap, and the different colors of the four members make the song new and funnier to listen to.	”
― Stray Kids' Comment

“	Previously, when writing our rap lines, among all hip-hop genres we usually used trap. This time, we wanted to try a genre we haven't had many opportunities to work with: boom bap. Rather than creating an exciting song that brings up the tension, we wanted to make a song that many people can nod along to and feel the groove. This is how "Muddy Water" was born. [...] We worked on the lyrics in Stray Kids fashion: talking about actions that reject and are against the ways of the current days.	”
― HAN

Lyrics

Uh rain falling on my face and washing off that sweat off Making me cleaner than the dirt on ma high top I suffer from the words you throw at me but makes me tougher Energetic youngster like me loves playing in muddy water Looking back at what you said behind my back doesn't matter cuz I'm a winner Strong believer 24/7 with the members scoring goals like a team player I execute the shadows all around me call me demon slayer 올바른 선택 뭐든 새 걸 좋아하는 때 굳이 칙칙한 운동화는 신지 않아도 돼 Double Knot 빡세게 묶고 당당히 걸어가다 보면 내 앞에 있던 것들 뒤에 서 있게 돼 누굴 원망하는 것도 속 안 아픈 척도 난 티를 절대 내지 않아 유치한 건 별로 널 원망하는 것도 속 안 아픈 척도 다 튀어 버린 진흙 딛고 앞만 보고 달려가 Feeling so fly This my life style I'm breathing, working, moving, sit down and listen for once 우린 고인 물이 마른 후에 내리는 빗물 다 바꿔 놓지 이 세상의 기준 너도 모르게 흠뻑 젖지 탁한 공기 대신 맑은 공기 섭취 brrr 흙탕물 muddy muddy muddy water 흙탕물 물 흐리지 말고 멀리 꺼져 흙탕물 고인물은 가라 goin' water This is our flow Just step off the show 흙탕물 muddy muddy muddy water 흙탕물 고이지 좀 말고 흘러가라 흙탕물 고인물은 가라 goin' water This is our flow Just step off the show 단물 빠진 껌은 씹어 봤자 내 입만 아프니까 뱉지 랩 뱉듯이 uh 삐끗해도 행실은 반드시 자로 잰 듯이 악취를 풍기는 네게 내가 튀긴 침 페브리즈 한참 전에 내린 빗물 고여 있지 아직도 나아감을 멈칫하게 만드는 과속 방지턱 삐꺽 삐꺽 지겹도록 또 피곤 이미 내 발바닥은 이 바닥에 딱 붙었지 sticker uh 고인물 고일 대로 고였군 제법 탁한 수질오염 주범들 황급히 대피 흘러내려가 또 피해 진상규명 시급해 다들 회피능력은 만렙이고 난 몰라 잘못은 쟤네가 떠넘김 불통에 더하기 먹통 고구마 100개 먹은 듯한 기분야 버젓이 고개를 바짝 쳐드는 것 봐 다 파내 삽 들고 무리 지어 뚜껑 닫아 거리를 깨끗이 오늘은 내가 청소 담당 Feeling so fly This my life style I'm breathing, working, moving, sit down and listen for once 흙탕물 우린 고인 물이 마른 후에 내리는 빗물 흙탕물 다 바꿔 놓지 이 세상의 기준 흙탕물 너도 모르게 흠뻑 젖지 탁한 공기 대신 맑은 공기 섭취 brrr 흙탕물 muddy muddy muddy water 흙탕물 물 흐리지 말고 멀리 꺼져 흙탕물 고인물은 가라 goin' water This is our flow Just step off the show 흙탕물 muddy muddy muddy water 흙탕물 고이지 좀 말고 흘러가라 흙탕물 고인물은 가라 goin' water This is our flow Just step off the show

Reviews

“	"Muddy Water" is the perfect playground for Stray Kids' unbeatable rap line. Over an old-school hip-hop beat with hints of jazz, Changbin, Hyunjin, HAN, and Felix spit some of their best bars yet (Felix's reference to Demon Slayer, anyone?), and showcase their pliable, unique styles. Comparing themselves to fresh rainwater that comes to wash the mud away, they state: "This is our flow, just step off the show" — a reaffirmation of Stray Kids' innovative verve and rule-breaking guts.	”
