“We Don’t Give A F*ck”: JYP Entertainment Allegedly Censors Stray Kids

STAYs believe that JYP Entertainment has censored Stray Kids.

The Stray Kids members have been very conscientious in keeping things PG for years. For example, during Chan’s Room live broadcasts, leader Bang Chan will often censor explicit language or curse words during the music he plays.

So, STAYs were pleasantly surprised when Stray Kids, including Bang Chan, sang, “We don’t give a f*ck” in “TOPLINE,” featuring Tiger JK on their new album 5-Star.

imagine this: skz performing topline at their upcoming concerts. they do a special showcase of it where tiger jk is there onstage with them. suddenly bang chan looks dead at the camera and smiles, “cause we don’t give a fuck.”

'Cause we don't give a fuck
우린 선을 그어 topline
그 누가 감히 넘봐 top class
더 높이 쌓여가는 karma (karma)

Yet, some debated whether or not Stray Kids really said “f*ck.” In the song, it can sound like “We don’t give a fu–,” being cut off by the chorus.

now was skz actually saying fuck in topline or..

can someone with a 5-star album check whether the lyrics in topline say fuck

So, many have wished for an uncensored version of “TOPLINE” where we can clearly hear Stray Kids sing, “We don’t a give a f*ck.”

skz need to release an uncensored ver of "topline" where we can hear can say "FUCK" loud and clear

Do you ever think about how there's most likely an uncensored audio clip from the Topline recording of Chan going "we don't give a fuck"? Cause I do. A lot.

A few STAYs pointed out that the lyrics were indeed “f*ck.” That’s at least what music streaming service Spotify included in the lyrics for “TOPLINE.”

However, STAYs recently noticed that “f*ck” has been removed from Spotify. So, now it says, “We don’t give a.”

THEY REMOVED THE FUCK IN TOPLINE?? pic.twitter.com/zAQHJcph5o

STAYs suspect that JYP Entertainment had something to do with it.

— alice ★⁵ outlaw | KYEO DAY (@ssicksan) June 16, 2023

you’re telling me… the reason the topline lyrics unsynced on spotify for a day was cause they had to remove the “fuck” in “we don’t give a fuck” pic.twitter.com/ERKMlK07Yi

On Genius, “TOPLINE” is also censored. Instead of “f*ck,” it includes asterisks.

Hopefully, during their next tour, we can hear the full uncensored version of “TOPLINE.”
