Studio recording, 2024 era. Guitarist Garrett Jones confirmed use of Fender American Professional II Stratocaster for cleaner, snappier tones in Stray Kids sessions. Amp is a hybrid setup: Helix Floor into Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. No explicit mention of live vs studio differences for this song; inferred as studio setup for the official recording.
