Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Gentleman. By Songfacts®.

Psy's follow up to "Gangnam Style," "Gentleman" follows a similar pattern of familiar club beats and rap/sung lyrics in both Korean and English, but a raunchier storyline. It was officially released in 119 countries around the world on April 12, 2013 at midnight. New Zealanders got the first taste thanks to their country's early time zone location.

Those of you not fluent in Korean will be unlikely to be able to decipher all of the song's words, but some of the more understandable English ones include such lyrical gems as, "Gonna make you sweat. Gonna make you wet. You know who I am? Wet Psy!" Psy wanted to satirize a crude and tacky man who refers to himself as a gentleman.

The video was shot in various locations around Seoul. The clip also features another K-pop singer Ga, who's a member of the popular female act, Brown Eyed Girls. The hip-shaking dance it showcases was inspired by her group's 2009 hit "Abracadabra."
