Now think back to 2012, which was only three years ago—practically the Cretaceous period in viral Internet time. That year, a South Korean musician named Psy released a colorful and completely over-the-top music video for a song called “Gangnam Style” that became the first YouTube clip to hit—get your Dr. Evil pinky finger ready—one _billion_ views. Well, Psy has a new song out, and it’s basically a song celebrating dad bod. Really, “Daddy” is an ode to paternal genes, like if will.i.am’s [“I Got It From My Mama”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XomQLhjCYYk "undefined") was recorded [by LMFAO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE "undefined") on GarageBand after taking too many shots during Father’s Day brunch. Which is to say it’s pretty terrible. There is, however, a silver lining: a brief appearance by CL, one member of the K-pop girl group 2NE1, whose just-released solo single [“Hello Bitches”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o4Zj98FeX4 "undefined") is a much better use of your time. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/"},"headline":"The 'Gangnam Style' Dude Is Back With an Ode to Dad Bods","datePublished":"2015-11-30T18:43:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:12.113Z","description":"Watch the video for his new song with CL, \"Daddy\"","url":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/","name":"The 'Gangnam Style' Dude Is Back With an Ode to Dad Bods"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Diplo’s Artists to Watch: 2NE1's CL, Tinashe and MØ","description":"The","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/BOWI1CA8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-08-19T13:03:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/BOWI1CA8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/","duration":"PT2M37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4129374/psy-daddy-cl/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
