When the photo was posted, it was extremely controversial because it looked like the concept photos for Stray Kids’ song “Lose My Breath.”
The reason that it is such a controversial decision is because netizens think it hints that the digital single “Lost My Breath” will be included in the album. The track was a collaboration with Charlie Puth, and it gained a lot of criticism after the artist’s personal views, especially those deemed zionist amid the genocide in Gaza.
When the photo of the album preview was posted, netizens shared their immense anger at JYP Entertainment for seemingly trying to “push” the song down netizens’ throats and how they didn’t want that track in the album, with many saying they wouldn’t purchase it.
lose my breath by charlie puth was shoved down our throats for WEEKS. you gave it a full moment and now you don’t even have the decency to give a whole new comeback its own look? we don’t want songs from lame ass dried up zionist misogynists on the album. we have told you that. https://t.co/H6U2Qz5aVx

Hi! I also love skz but please don't buy this album or really any albums directly supporting jyp.
They continuously make their talents collab with zionists. This album art is from a collab done with Charlie Puth, a zionist.
The collab song they did with him will most likely be https://t.co/sPyaEM77GM
