Ate is the ninth Korean-language extended play (fourteenth overall) by South Korean boy band Stray Kids. It was released on July 19, 2024, through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, eight months after its predecessor Rock-Star (2023). Described as "definitely" something they have not done, the in-house production team 3Racha worked on the EP with collaborators including Versachoi, DallasK, Restart, Chae Gang-hae, and Space Primates.

"Chk Chk Boom" was promoted as Ate's lead single, accompanied by a music video co-starring actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. In support of Ate, Stray Kids appeared on several television and web shows and embarked on their third worldwide concert tour Dominate World Tour, starting in August 2024. Commercially, the EP peaked at number one in South Korea, as well as Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, and the United States, has sold 3 million copies, and was certified two-million by Korea Music Copyright Association (KMCA) and gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
