The name of the album, which begins with the awareness of 'I am NOT', marks the beginning of the musical identity that they will develop in the future.

.

The title track 'District 9' is a song that expresses Stray Kids' unique hideaway. The 'District 9' message of breaking away from the standardized and standardized framework and building their own domain by breaking the existing system perfectly matches the name of the Stray Kids group. The lyrics were composed with a strong aspiration to turn everything upside down in a special area set by them, and a hybrid genre combining hip-hop, rock, and EDM created a vivid sound.

.

Track 1 'NOT!' It's a hip-hop song with the theme of this debut album 'I am NOT', and cyberpunk sound design and trap meet.

.

The third theme 'Mirror' is developed with the content of reflecting on one's own mind 'Who am I' while contemplating one's own identity. The ever-changing rap and various harmonized voices.

.

The fourth track 'Awaken' strongly expresses the will to 'break your own mold' based on the sound of rock. It is a song that screams an autobiographical story, beginning with the consciousness of 'I AM NOT'.

Track 5 'ROCK' features clever lyrics that say, 'I'd rather be a rock' because I'm frustrated at identity confusion. The language game and the powerful sound were in harmony.

.

Track 6 'You're Doing Well' is a lyrical hip-hop song with a warm message of comfort.

The seventh track '3rd Eye' is an R&B genre that expresses the sincere desire to see oneself through a new 'third eye' rather than the existing gaze, and attracts a lot of sympathy from peers.

.

Track 8, 'Mixtape # 1', is a special song that can only be found on CD and has 'placebo effect' as its keyword. Stray Kids conveys the sensation of ascending with a light sound by placing a spell that says "I can climb." You can feel the bright and positive mind of Stray Kids.

Through their debut album 'I am NOT', Stray Kids sing about their real situation and the stories they really want to tell. 'I am NOT', which thought about identity and tried to contain sincerity, became the foundation of Stray Kids' musical growth to infinity, signaling their significant beginning.
