Gangnam Style

PSY

A bouncy synth line kicks in with an upbeat, infectious rhythm that immediately signals this is a party song designed to get people moving.

Vocal Performance Tips

  • Master the signature horse-riding dance move during the chorus—it’s expected and half the fun.

  • Switch energy between the rap verses (sharp and punchy) and the sung chorus (lighter and more melodic).

  • Lean into the playful, cheeky attitude—this song is meant to be fun, not serious.

  • Use hand gestures and body movement to carry the performance when you’re not singing.

Key Crowd Moments

  • The chorus is pure singalong gold; the crowd will join in on the main hook.

  • The horse-riding dance break gives the audience permission to get up and copy the moves.

  • PSY is a South Korean artist, and the song references the Gangnam district of Seoul, known for luxury and style.

  • The dance became iconic worldwide; even if people don’t know the song, they know the move.
