The Second Runner in SKZ-PLAYER — Felix Felix will release the digital single "Slow It Down" at 6 p.m. on the 1st, as part of Stray Kids' own project "SKZ-PLAYER." "SKZ-PLAYER" is a project focused on the group's musician and artist sides, in which the eight members surprise-unveil works they want to share with their fandom, STAY. From songwriting to music-video planning and direction, the members take part directly in various ways, and all of them are set to present new songs and content in turn. In June, member Han opened the project with its first work, "back to life," and now Felix steps up as the second runner. Pausing for a Moment to Look Back on Precious Time "Slow It Down" is an acoustic hip-hop track blending a clean guitar loop with a hip beat. It carries a message: in a fast-moving world, pause your steps for a moment and look back on the time and dreams you shared with the people you cherish. Felix put his skills to work by taking part in writing and composing the song. Over lyrics infused with warm sentiment and comfort, he carries a gentle voice, delivering a quiet resonance to the listener. Actor Roh Yoon-seo in the MV — Youth Between Dreams and Reality The music video released alongside the song features actor Roh Yoon-seo in the role of "Yoon-seo."

The music video tells a story in which Felix instills courage so that "Yoon-seo" — who had been living a busy daily life — can achieve her dream, tenderly portraying the image of youth struggling between dreams and reality.
