Go Live (stylized in all caps;) is the debut studio album by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It was released by JYP Entertainment on June 17, 2020, and distributed through Dreamus. The lead single, "God's Menu", was released the same day. The reissue edition of the album, titled In Life (stylized in all caps;) was released on September 14, 2020, along with eight new tracks, including lead single "Back Door".
Background and release
On May 27, 2020, the group announced the upcoming release of Go Live, their first full-length album for June 17, 2020, on their official Twitter account. Members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han were heavily involved in the writing and production of the album as the collective "3Racha".
The title of the album, pronounced gosaeng in Korean, translates to hardship, relating to one of the core themes of the album. The English title of the album references the group's desire to continue moving forward and living without inhibition.[1] Members of the group stated that this project involved experimentation with a variety of genres ranging from trap, hip hop, acoustic rock, and EDM.
Commercial performance
Go Live debuted atop the weekly Gaon Album Chart, and also at number five on the monthly chart with 243,462 copies sold,[2] becoming Stray Kids' best-selling album at the time. As of August 2020, the album was certified Platinum by the Gaon Chart (sales of 250,000 copies),[3] becoming the group's first album to do so.
The single "God's Menu" debuted at number 144 on the Gaon Weekly Download Chart,[4] becoming the group's first single to appear on the chart, and also their first single to appear on the main digital chart of Gaon (combining all digital forms of music consumption).
Accolades
The repackage In Life received a nomination for Album Bonsang at the 35th Golden Disc Awards, but did not win.[5] Go Live was named the 10th best K-pop album of 2020 by Billboard,[6] while the repackage was named one of the best K-pop albums of the year by several publications including Rolling Stone India (6th),[7] Young Post (10th),[8] South China Morning Post,[9] and Time.[10]
The single "Back Door" won two music program awards on the September 23 episode of Show Champion and September 24, 2020, episode of M Countdown.[11] [12] It appeared on several publications' year-end lists of the best K-pop songs of 2020 including Billboard (10th),[13] Dazed (5th),[14] Paper (2nd),[15] Time (8th),[16] while the track "Any" ranked 7th on MTV News list of the best K-pop B-sides of the year.[17]
