Stray Kids are back today with “Do It,” one of the two title tracks on their new EP of the same name — and once again, it’s self-produced, powerful, and unmistakably SKZ.
With its Latin-inspired groove, tight percussion, and confident flow, “Do It” is all about pushing forward, cutting hesitation, and trusting your own ability to make things happen.
It’s Stray Kids shouting what they’ve always lived:
“If you don’t do it, who will?”
Let’s take a look at today’s lines:
“그냥 해, 제발 간 보기 좀 그만해
내가 하려던 거 나 아니면 누가 해”
“Just do it — please stop testing the waters.
What I was going to do — if not me, then who?”
—
💥 1️⃣ 그냥 해 – “Just do it”
• 그냥 → just / simply
• 하다 → to do
• 해 → imperative form (“do it”)
💡 Emotion note:
Skz doesn’t say “You should try.”
They say: “Do it. Don’t overthink it.”
Direct, sharp, and motivating — classic Stray Kids energy.

⚠️ 2️⃣ 제발 간 보기 좀 그만해 – “Please stop testing the waters”
• 제발 → please (strong emotional plea)
• 간 보다 → to test the waters / to hesitate and observe
• -기 → nominalizer (“the act of…”)
• 그만해 → stop it
💡 Language tip:
간 보다 literally means “to look at the liver,”
but idiomatically it means hesitating, checking, sizing up instead of acting.
So this line means: “Stop dithering. Stop hesitating. Move.”
—
🔥 3️⃣ 내가 하려던 거 – “The thing I was going to do”
• 내가 → I (subject)
• 하려던 → was going to do / intended to do
• 거 (것) → thing
💡 Interpretation:
This expresses ownership of purpose:
“This was mine to do — my plan, my path, my action.”
It’s a refusal to let doubt steal your momentum.
—
🏆 4️⃣ 나 아니면 누가 해 – “If not me, who will?”
• 나 → me
• 아니면 → if not
• 누가 → who
• 해 → does / will do
💡 Meaning:
This line isn’t arrogance — it’s responsibility and confidence.
A powerful statement of agency:
“I’m the one who has to take action. No one else can do it for me.”
—
🔥 Why It Matters
“Do It” is Stray Kids distilled:
bold, rhythmic, self-made, and relentlessly self-driven.
“그냥 해 / 제발 간 보기 좀 그만해 / 내가 하려던 거 / 나 아니면 누가 해”
is the perfect SKZ message —
stop hesitating, trust your skills, take ownership, and move.
It’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest barrier is hesitation,
and the way through it is simple:
just do it.
