BTOB
BTOB chose to cover Stray Kids' record-breaking song 'Back Door' which had earlier made it to TIME Top 10 songs of 2020 list. Along with putting their own spin on the song, BTOB takes it up a notch when Minhyuk rips his shirt on stage. The preview clip also shows how Changsub is practicing the high notes of the song and to fit it to their rock-inspired theme, fans believe that they will be singing it even on higher notes than the original track.
