"Case 143" is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Stray Kids and the lead single from the group's seventh extended play Maxident, which was released on October 7, 2022, through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records. Written by 3Racha, Raphael of Producing Lab, and Daviid and Yosia of 3scape, "Case 143" is an electrohop and pop track, likening the confusion one feels when falling in love to an unsolved "case", referencing the number 143, a code for "I love you". The accompanying music video, directed by 725, premiered on the same day. The Japanese version was released on December 15.
