- Oh my gosh. Yes.
- Oh, God.
The choruses are so catchy!
- Hey, it's kinda catchy.
- I'm assuming the song's called "I Luv It."
- This song is genuinely good.
This is getting played this summer, for sure.
- Greatest comeback ever.
- Oh yeah, he's flexing the views. He's flexing the views. Okay.
- Oh, look at the views. Okay, okay.
That might've been a little full of yourself there, Psy.

I already know.

- God, that's so awesome!
- That was hot. That was "fresh off the stove" hot, man.
I loved that.
- This music's, like, overwhelming.
(chuckles) I'm overwhelmed.
All of my senses are overwhelmed.
- His courses transcend language, you know?
It's just one word repeated over and over and over again.
It's not even in English,
but everybody knows the lyric to "Gangnam Style," the chorus.
- (FBE) Well, he actually released two songs.
- WHAT?!
- Show it to me! I know you guys have it!

- "New face." (laughs)
- "Someone, someone new."

- Oh my god. (giggles) What?
- 'Eeyyy, we want some new face!
- (snickers)
He got a dab in there? Okay.
- I think I like the other one better.
- What does that even mean? "Hey, we want some new face"?
- Oh, dude, it's so good.
- (snickers)
- ♪ New face ♪ - Ooh!
Did he do a double-dab to end it? A freeze-frame dab?
Psy, you're better than that! Come on!
- I was digging the first one a little bit more.
But you know, this was cool.
- They have good beats to them. I could see how they're catchy
and people listen to them and like him.
But it's not really my type of music.
- I like it. It's a nice beat.
It's just so much going on.
And as always, these kind of videos are just so random.
- I love that. That was awesome.
What the heck, dude? He's so good at what he does.
- I don't care if it's never gonna be
as popular as "Gangnam Style."
But mean, he's got it. He kills it.
- (FBE) So these videos just dropped a couple days ago.
Is it possible that anyone doesn't know Psy at this point?
- I'm sure there's always gonna be someone that doesn't know you.
I mean, and no matter how popular you are.
- There's some people who just don't care about what goes viral
or what's trending.
But to those who have been on the internet, you know.
- Even my grandma knows who Psy is.
He's made his way in the music world.
- It's, "Oh, he did 'Gangnam Style,' right?"
It's like, "Yeah, he did a lot more than that."
- (FBE) Psy, of course, is best known for "Gangnam Style,"
and that song is now five years old.
- Five years old?
- Hold [bleep]. I am old as hell.
That one of the first things I reacted to.
♪ (Psy rapping) ♪
- I was 16 when I reacted to that.
Oh, God. That's weird.
This is awesome. (chuckles)
- That's five years old?! Are you kidding?
I remember when I reacted to that.
- Is this another weird music video? Come on, guys.
- (FBE) So we have to ask,
how does it compare to "Gangnam Style"?
- It's not gonna be "Gangnam Style."
But it's got the components to be "Gangnam Style."
I think they're better, to be honest.
- I love "I Luv It."
But "Gangnam Style" is cool. It's classic.
But I liked this beat better.
- The second song really has the ability
to become the next "Gangnam Style"
because it's so funny.
Which song I'd prefer to listen to? The first one.
It's a little more serious. It's a little more fun.
And I enjoy it.
- The two go together, like Psy and "Gangnam Style."
It's just like you think of one, you think of the other.
So whenever you see him with a new song,
you think of it.
And you're just like, "Oh, is it as good as the last one?"
"Gangnam Style" is like up here,
and those songs were like right here.
- "Gangnam Style" will always be a great piece of work.
But, you know, this is cool too.
Will I put it on my Spotify playlist?
I don't know.
Will I jam out to it the way I jammed out to "Gangnam Style"?
I don't know.
Also, I'm older, and I feel like my music taste's
just kind of in a different place now.
- "Gangnam Style" was its own thing.
But he is clearly just doing that classical pop.
Every artist and entertainer have their thing.
Psy's is his pelvic thrust and the glasses and the tuxedos.
Knowing what you're good at and perfecting it
and sticking with it is what--
you know, what's what you should do.
- (FBE) As finally, as we discussed,
it's been half a decade now since "Gangnam Style."
- Don't say "half a decade." Just say five years, man!
(loud whimper)
- (FBE) Do you think that Psy will always have this attention?
or do you think it's gonna become less and less over time?
- I think with any artist,
it will become less and less eventually.
- People are always going to be looking
for the next "Gangnam Style" from him, you know?
So if he produces the next song that's completely shit
and then produces another one,
he's still gonna get the same amount of people going,
"Oh, Psy produced another song.
Interesting. Let's see if it follows up."
- He's always gonna get that recognition
and always will have that notorious fame for what he's doing.
- I haven't forgotten Psy for "Gangnam Style."
And I think it'll be a while
before anyone really forgets "Gangnam Style."
- He'll always have that reputation because of "Gangnam Style."
So if he releases music, it'll still be popular.
It'll still get attention, because he's the "Gangnam Style" guy.
