All eight members of the K-pop group—Hyujin, I.N., Bang Chan, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Lee Know and Changbin wore matching all-black ensembles featuring embroidered varsity jackets, leather trousers and combat boots. They were introduced onstage by NSYNC’s Lance Bass and Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean.

Prior to Stray Kids' entry, the duo took a trip down memory lane, highlighting the legacy of various boybands at the AMAs through the years. “Fifty years — the American Music Awards have been around long enough that a lot of boy bands have grown up with the show,” Bass said, while McLean added, “Lance and I are proud to be part of that legacy on the American Music Awards. A boy band legacy worth remembering and even screaming for.”

Addressing their AMAs debut, Stray Kids told Billboard, “Performing on the AMAs for the first time and doing a collaboration with ‘NSync was very memorable. It was very special.” “We’re the ones performing on stage, we’re the ones singing the lyrics. Might as well make it more genuine by making what we want to express and making what we want to perform,” they added.
