Gentleman (Psy song)
"Gentleman" is a K-pop song by South Korean singer Psy released on April 12, 2013 (KST), serving as his 19th single. The song serves as the follow-up to his international hit single "Gangnam Style", which at the time of "Gentleman"'s release had been viewed on YouTube over 1.5 billion times. The first public performance of the song, with its associated dance, was unveiled at 6:30 pm on April 13 at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul. A poster and Twitter message was released containing the main line of the song "I'm a mother f••••• gentleman"; the obscured word was later revealed to be "father". In 2013, Psy stated that he had no plans to release an album including the song or a sequel to it.
As of May 1, 2021, the video has been viewed more than 1.4 billion times. It held the YouTube record for most views in its first 24 hours, and most views in any 24 hours for over nine years until September 2021. It also held the record for fastest music video to reach 100 million views for over six years until 2019's "Kill This Love" by fellow YG Entertainment girl group Blackpink. Other records previously held were the fastest overall video to reach 200 million views (until September 2017), and 300 million views (until November 2015). The song reached number one on charts in Luxembourg and South Korea, and peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking his second top-ten single on the chart.
In March 2013, South Korean media reported that the title of Psy's upcoming single would contain the word "Assarabia", a slang used by South Koreans to mean "Oh Yeah!", express thrills, or simply to describe something satisfying. There were numerous objections to that upcoming title, and worries have risen that people of Arabic descent might misinterpret the title and find it derogatory.
After being questioned by a correspondent of the Voice of America about the upcoming track's potential to offend, Psy said that there has been some misunderstanding and his upcoming song will undergo a major revamp. On March 19, 2013, he revised his song's title and lyrics over "worries it could offend Arabs".
For the April 13 debut of the dance, Psy instructed fans to attend in white attire. 50,000 people attended the April 13 World Cup Stadium performance. The 6:30 pm Seoul time/ 2:30 am U.S. ET performance was broadcast live on YouTube.
Although his previous song's associated widely imitated horse-riding dance had brought him notoriety, the "Harlem Shake" had recently challenged Psy and "Gangnam Style" for the top position in pop culture. Psy felt a lot of pressure to satisfy his growing fanbase, saying "Of course I feel more burden than before, because lots of people are watching." The new dance is characterized by fast, hip-swinging movements in Stuff.
When the song was being introduced, Adam Sherwin of The Independent reported that "A trailer posted on Psy's Twitter links to a thudding beat with a repeated lyric of 'I'm a mother, father, gentleman'. Or 'motherf***er [sic]' depending on the interpretation of Psy's accent." A poster was also released containing the main line of the song "I'm a mother fxxxxx [sic] gentleman". At a press conference for the "Happening" concert, Psy mentioned that he chose the phrase because it was easy to pronounce. He also chose "alangamola" ("I don't know if you know") as a common lyric in the song as it was easy to sing along to.
The song features more English than "Gangnam Style". The website The Huffington Post classifies the song as electropop, while Time describes it as K-pop.
