"Going Dumb" is a song by Swedish DJ Alesso and Chinese musician Corsak [zh]. It was released on 19 March 2021 in two versions: one by the two producers, and another with vocals in Korean from K-pop group Stray Kids.[3] The song accompanies the third anniversary of the battle royale game PUBG Mobile, and is featured as background music in the mobile game.[3][4] It is Stray Kids' first collaboration.[5]

With the song's debut at number 13 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, Forbes noted that Stray Kids became one of the few Korean acts to appear on the chart.[6] A lyric video was released the same day as the song,[7] and a behind-the-scenes music video was released on 8 April 2021, which shows the artists' recording and production process in Seoul, Stockholm and Shanghai.[8] The official music video was released on 7 May.[9]

The remix version by Low Steppa was released on 14 May,[10] and Mike Williams was released on 28 May.[11]
