I. MAKNAE ON TOP - '막내온탑'
II.
INTRODUCTION
'Maknae On Top' released on the 15th of January 2021, is Stray Kids member I.N.'s first solo track. With a run-time of 3:00, it's his first track in the SKZ-Player project.
MUSICAL CONTENT
I.N.'s 'Maknae On Top' features a Latin influenced beat with witty lyrics proclaiming I.N. as the supreme 'Maknae' within Stray Kids, putting a twist on the social hierarchy within general idol groups where the Maknae stands lowest instead of 'On Top'. This track features members Bang Chan and Changbin, the former being the leader of the group, typically considered the 'highest' in status within the group whilst the latter Changbin, is demoted to the 'lowest' status of the group in a comedic manner, despite being a 'Hyung' to I.N.

English Lyrics:
[Intro: I.N]
Yeah
Ha
[Chorus: I.N]
On top again this year, ayy, ooh-woah-oh
Maknae on top, ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: I.N]
In Stray Kids, I'm ranked first
If you get hurt, your brothers wake up
Even though I'm polite, I don't act like the youngest
This year and next year, I'm Stray Kids' maknae on top
[Pre-Chorus: I.N]
What else can I introduce?
This is enough
No need for further explanation
That's enough for now
[Chorus: Bang Chan]
On top again this year, ayy, ooh-woah-oh
Maknae on top, ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Changbin & I.N]
He's full of all kinds of cuteness but the ranking is a tower
I.N, who shouts every morning Instead of saying hello, every morning, I say "I.N hyung-ah"
(Oh my, you look great) He has grown a lot
Whеn he was a trainee, I remembеr the Busan boy in school gym shorts
Oh, I raised him well
He's been cute since then since he takes after me
Oh right, you hate hearing this the most
But we are quite similar if you look in the mirror (Do you want to get hit?)
Alright, I'm sorry, Dwaekki is at the bottom of the ranks
Baby, what do you want to eat? Follow me to JYP Cafe, I'll buy it for you today
[Pre-Chorus: I.N]
What else can I introduce?
This is enough
No need for further explanation
That's enough for now
[Chorus: Bang Chan]
[Outro: I.N]
