VENOM (거미줄 geomijul; "Spider web") is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It is the first track from their sixth mini album ODDINARY.

Composition[]

The song is about being caught in a spider's web and not being able to escape the other person's deadly attraction. Listen to the creepy instrumental harmonies and catchy lyrics and you'll be addicted to this song, even if it's just for one listen.
Stray Kids' Comment
For most of our albums the very first song is decided by how much it expresses Stray Kids' uniqueness. And because "Venom" is a very unique song, we thought that it would be a good idea to put it as track number one to really catch the listeners' attention. [...] We actually decided to work on this track because we were so mesmerized by the plucking instruments. We've worked with [American DJ] DallasK before, but he really got our attention with [this] instrumental.
Bang Chan
We wanted to have a maniac tone. I think the unique and interesting sounds from "Venom" really set the mood for the entire album. [...] Using the keyword "spiderweb," we wanted to express a person's fatal charms that are difficult to escape from, which led to the song giving off a dark atmosphere that equally is fatal. The sticky beats and top lines do their job in describing a ‘spiderweb'.
