## Release and album context
The song arrived as the centerpiece of *THIS & THAT*, the group's tenth Korean-language mini album, which contains eight tracks.[2](https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=14428706) The pre-release single "RUN IT" had come out on June 24, 2026, and the album rollout included teaser images, "UNVEIL" clips for B-side tracks such as "FARMING" and "After You," a mashup video, and a music video teaser for the title track in early August.[1](https://www.soompi.com/article/1852986wpp/watch-stray-kids-unveils-surreal-comeback-trailer-for-this-that) On the Melon album listing, "This & That" is marked as the title track and sits second on the track list, between the opener "RUN IT" and "After You."[2](https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=14428706)
The album's stated concept plays on the English phrase "I'll take this and that": rather than choosing between options, the group claims both. JYP Publishing's song page and the Melon album introduction describe the title track as a hip hop-based song that maximizes the group's chill and cool mood, with a languid but addictive melody and lyrics that move freely among choices.[2](https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=14428706) • [5](https://www.jyppub.com/en/songs/llr81iix/29)
## Credits and production
Writing and composition credits are shared between the group's in-house production team 3RACHA, the trio of [Bang Chan](https://www.edgepedia.org/bang-chan), Changbin, and HAN, and an external writing team of Stefan Johnson, Jordan Johnson, Jackson Foote, Isaiah Tejada, Rayman, and Tele.[3](https://music.apple.com/us/song/6781751957) Production is credited to Bang Chan, The Monsters & Strangerz, Tele, Isaiah Tejada, and Rayman, with Haneul Lee listed as immersive mixing engineer.[3](https://music.apple.com/us/song/6781751957) Qobuz's album page likewise lists Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN as composers and writers alongside Marcus "MarcLo" Lomax and VERSACHOI for the album's tracks.[6](https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/this-that-stray-kids/unypjg85scy04)
## Lyrics and meaning
The chorus repeats the hook "Everything I do, multiply it by two / I got this and that, this and that," with verses contrasting paired choices such as a coupe or a truck and cappuccino or americano.[7](https://lyricsweb.com/song/stray-kids/stray-kids-this-that) According to a review in HIVE Magazine, Changbin said in a Korea Times interview that the title track expresses the confidence of being good at this and that, encouraging listeners to face challenges head-on and trust their own path.[8](https://www.hivemagazine.net/music-reviews/stray-kids-this-and-that) The same review notes that the music video contains references to earlier Stray Kids videos, including a kitchen scene with a marching band recalling the 2020 video for "God's Menu."[8](https://www.hivemagazine.net/music-reviews/stray-kids-this-and-that)
## Remixes and promotion
Three days after the album, on August 10, 2026, [JYP Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/jyp-entertainment) released the digital single *This & That (This Remixes)*, containing the original song, an instrumental, and two remixes: the "This Version," a hip hop remix reinterpreting the title track with a Y2K sensibility, and the "Chill Version," which recasts the song's relaxed mood in the Nu-Disco genre.[4](https://straykids.jype.com/discography/0czdu0k9?AmSeq=undefined&PgIndex=undefined) A separate *This & That (That Remixes)* single was also promoted through the group's official channels.[9](https://app.fans/community/StrayKids/media/95d7s921s5)
As part of promotion, members Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN filmed a "THIS AND THAT" challenge video with their label senior Hyoyeon (HYO) of [Girls' Generation](https://www.edgepedia.org/girls-generation), published on the official Stray Kids YouTube channel.[10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qpShw8mxVY) The Festival Version that closes the album, credited to Stray Kids with Tele, leans toward electronic and [video game music](https://www.edgepedia.org/video-game-music) and reworks the title track's appeal in a festival atmosphere.[2](https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=14428706) • [8](https://www.hivemagazine.net/music-reviews/stray-kids-this-and-that)
