Stray Kids talk about their performance at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy, releasing their EP Rock-Star and their full album 5-Star in the same year, what artists they have been streaming this year and more.

Why was this creative/song choice important to you?

Stray Kids:
All right, so “S-Class” and “LALALALA.” Two very important songs to Stray Kids. And we thought, you know, it’d be good to mash up the two songs and show a very good performance. And show the full potential of the two songs.

Why is it so important to share this moment with your fans?

Stray Kids:
We’ve only been able to achieve this much thanks to our STAY for being by our side, so we want to celebrate with our STAY.

What artists did you stream the most this year?

Stray Kids:
For me, it would be LANY. And I love the recent album. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tell us about your EP Rock-Star and how it feels to have released a full album and an EP in one year. Why is it important to put out so much music?

Stray Kids:
The reason why we continue to release so much music is not only because of our fans who wait for our music, but also because there are still so many sides of our group and so much music that we want to show the world.

What’s in store for 2024?

Stray Kids:

Personally, I want to go on a vacation to somewhere nice, with all my Stray Kids members.

Bebe Rexha shares her favorite Billboard Music Awards moment, talks about her fans’ reaction to her hit with David Guetta “I’m Good” and more. The 2023 Billboard Music Awards are presented by Marriott Bonvoy.

Bebe Rexha:
I love you. You’re so awesome. Just seeing the fans embrace “I’m Good” in the way that they have has been such an incredible journey. And I think this is an incredible moment to do something that I’ve never done before, and it’s so different and it’s kind of like my gift to my fans to say thank you.

My favorite Billboard Music Award memory is definitely winning the award for “Meant to Be” with Florida Georgia Line. I grew up watching the Billboard Awards, and finally being able to win one was such a special moment for me — it was like a full circle moment, winning a Billboard Music Award. It means a lot to me because it is a reflection of where your song lies on the charts. And you know, working so hard in this industry and getting the recognition is really awesome. I know I just get excited to you know, get my award, and whenever it comes over, they can see it. I’m like, “Yeah, b—h. That’s mine.”

I’m so excited to you know, see my most loyal fans and have them support me and be out here tonight and to have this moment with them and to enjoy their energy, and hopefully, they love my energy and we can just have a wonderful love fest. I think with my fans, they always shows support — they’ll fly out from, like, different countries to come see me.
