Background and release

[edit]

On February 13, 2022, after the fan meeting 2nd #LoveStay 'SKZ's Chocolate Factory', Stray Kids surprisingly premiered the trailer video for the upcoming EP Oddinary, scheduled for release on March 18.[1] The completed track listing of the EP was posted on March 3, confirming "Maniac" as the lead single.[2] Three music video teasers were uploaded from March 15 to 17.[3][4][5] "Maniac" was released alongside the EP, in conjunction with its accompanying music video,[6][7][8] According to a Nylon interview, the member Han said that the song was written during fall and winter, and 3Racha want to give off a different vibe from the previous single, "Thunderous".[9] The Japanese version of "Maniac" was pre-released on May 18, through Epic Records Japan and included on the group's Japanese-language second EP Circus, released on June 22.[10][11]

Lyrics and composition

[edit]
Lyrically, "Maniac" compares "odd" people to Frankenstein (pictured).

"We wrote ["Maniac"] thinking that within this normality, show yourself off as much as you want — show yourself to the world better."

— Han on the meaning of "Maniac", Teen Vogue[12]

"Maniac" is described as a Middle Eastern-influenced[13] "powerful" trap,[8] EDM, pop[14] song, with bass-synth drop,[8][13] bird-chirping,[13] and drill sounds.[14] It was composed in the key of C♯ major, 120 beats per minute with a running time of three minutes and two seconds.[15] The song spans from the low note of F♯2 by members Hyunjin and Felix, to the high note of F♯5 by member Bang Chan. The song was written by Stray Kids' in-house production team 3Racha, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, and co-composed with Versachoi, who also handle in arrangement with Bang Chan. It is 3Racha and Versachoi's second collaboration on the Stray Kids' lead single after "God's Menu" from Go Live (2020).[2] Lyrically, "Maniac" supports the thematic of Oddinary,[8][16] expressing the story of "odd" people who break the "ordinary" social norms and expectations set by society,[17] comparing them with Frankenstein's monster having a few screws loose.[8][14]

Critical reception

[edit]

Teen Vogue's Crystal Bell compared "Maniac" as "proof enough that it doesn't matter which way Stray Kids decide to turn" if Oddinary exists at the crossroads. She praised the group "can continue to evolve their sound while also staying true to themselves as artists."[12] NME critic, Tássia Assis, admired that "how much Stray Kids refined their talents for this comeback, successfully combining their abrasive energy with more tempered tones."[13] Yemi from Idology said that the song "shows a relatively flexible mood compared to previous works that were consistent with divergence, and it was impressive that the group's unique strong energy was still there, but that they had enough room to try to make rapid adjustments."[18] Rolling Stone ranked "Maniac" number 56 on its list of the Best Songs of 2022.[19] Other publications who ranked it amongst the best K-pop songs of 2022 include Billboard (5th),[20] CNN Philippines Life (5th),[21] The Korea Herald (2nd),[22] NME (24th),[23] and Teen Vogue (unranked).[24]

[edit]
A scene in the music video, where Stray Kids are dancing in an upside-down town.

An accompanying music video for "Maniac was uploaded on March 18, in conjunction with the Oddinary release.[6] Directed by Bang Jae-yeob,[40] the music video oscillates between two worlds, depicting the members exploring various locations of a deserted town in an alternate dimension, and doing random things, such as playing on the subway or cleaning up the diner, and the upside-down version of the town. It also shows a giant, graffitied brain, before being transported back to the real world at the end, where the members hold part-time jobs and hang out.[7][8][14] Rolling Stone India's Divyansha Dongre compares the two worlds as "Marvel's multiverse meets the Stranger Things' upside-down".[8] The music video reached 50 million views on March 30,[41] and 100 million views on June 22, becoming the sixth music video to reach this milestone following "God's Menu", "Miroh", "Back Door", "My Pace", and "Thunderous".[42]
