PSY's two new songs may very well be a shallow boast on hooking up with hot chicks in his 40s, but we discuss possible subversive themes behind the music. Post production note: it is more likely that "New Face" was filmed at the Venetian in Macau - not Las Vegas. Peter was tired and confused.

B.A.P's "Wake Me Up" is layered in meanings which go beyond mental health. We dive into these hidden explanations thanks to Reddit user BrigidAndair.

GFriend's "Fingertip" may appear to be a dream-centered story in the music video, but what most people miss is the Greek mythology driving the narrative in this latest hit.
