His Back...He sparked an international dance craze with the release of his single Gangnam Style last year.
But it remains to be seen whether South Korean rapper Psy can recreate the success of his now world-famous track with his new single, Gentleman, which was released on Thursday night.
The song, with a techno beat, was full of puns in Korean and contained the lines 'I am a party mafia!' and the refrain, 'I am a mother father gentleman'.
The 35-year-old hinted in an interview last week that Gentleman also features a dance routine - hinting that it is based on traditional Korean moves. Speaking on South Korean television last week, Psy said: 'All Koreans know this dance but (those in) other countries haven't seen it.'
Psy will perform Gentleman in public for the first time on Saturday at a concert at Seoul's World Cup stadium.
He has asked fans to wear white to Saturday's event and his stylist told Reuters last month that the concept for the new song would again be a formal suit with 'an unexpected twist of fun'.
In Gangnam Style, written as a commentary on materialism in the wealthy Seoul suburb of Gangnam, Psy was decked out in sunglasses, a white dress shirt, bow tie and tuxedo jackets.
The song racked up 3.59 million digital sales last year in the United States and Canada, according to Nielsen SoundScan and Nielsen BDS, putting it ninth in the best-selling list.
