SONG MEANING

PSY’s "Gentleman" is a playful, high-energy follow-up to his global hit "Gangnam Style." In the lyrics, the South Korean superstar brags about being a mother-father-gentleman—a funny, family-friendly twist on a stronger English phrase—while showing off his bold, flirtatious personality. He rolls out confident promises to make everyone "sweat" and "wet" on the dance floor, mixing Korean and English lines to keep the mood light, cheeky, and international.

Beneath the catchy hook, the song pokes fun at traditional ideas of what it means to be a “gentleman.” PSY acts polite one moment, then mischievous the next, showing that real charm can be a mix of courtesy, humor, and fearless self-expression. The repeated chants, funky beat, and comic wordplay invite listeners to dance, laugh, and question whether PSY is truly refined or just having a good time pretending.
