Listen to "Does Your Father Know You Dance Like That?" HERE via Casablanca Records/ Wexler Records, and watch the official music video HERE .

Blending high-energy festival production with Maniscalco's signature mix of physical comedy observational humor, and vividly animated storytelling rooted in life's absurdities, the track lands as a bold, fan-first moment - designed for dance floors, group chats, and viral choreography alike. Built around an instantly addictive hook and playful call-and-response structure, the record captures the spirit of a night out at its most chaotic and hilarious.

Maniscalco first premiered the comedic dance track during Justin Bieber's Halloween livestream last Fall. Initially produced by PARISI (Ed Sheeran, Fred Again)and Sebastian's Creative Director and GRAMMY-nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler (Justin Bieber, Blackpink), the track quickly caught Bieber's attention with him exclaiming "that's going to pop off in Ibiza," while Maniscalco jokingly teased that he'd be playing Coachella in April. Wexler then brought the song to Aoki, who began working on it-adding his signature sound and helping the track fully realize its dancefloor potential.

Inspired by his teenage nights dancing at Chicago teen clubs, Maniscalco declared Friday night 'dance night.' "You started getting ready for Friday on Monday," he joked, "practicing moves in front of the mirror before strutting into the club with confidence. The track imagines today's nightlife at its wildest - rocking sunglasses indoors, sparklers at your table, and 14 guys sharing a single bottle of Grey Goose - leaving only one question: 'What's wrong with people?'"

Arriving alongside the single, the official music video brings the track's larger-than-life personality to the screen. The visual opens withAoki and Maniscalco calling each other from their respective Las Vegas hotel rooms before linking up to take over the night. What follows is a high-energy, comedic ride through the city, from impromptu dance-offs in a hotel room to Maniscalco joining Aoki live onstage in front of a packed Las Vegas crowd, blurring the line between stand-up, spectacle, and a full-scale dance party.

"Sebastian is one of the funniest people I've ever met and this collab was all about bringing that into the club," said Aoki. "I knew I wanted to do it in an authentic way though, so it only made sense to work with Parisi on the track, who I'm also a huge fan of. It's fun, unexpected, and perfect for the dancefloor."

"I've been dancing to other people's music for years. Now I finally have a song of my own to move to," said Maniscalco. "Collaborating with Steve Aoki made it even more special. He brought so much energy and creativity to the song and, apparently, to my social calendar too. He's had me out promoting this thing in nightclubs until 3 o'clock in the morning, which is a real change for me. I think the last time I was out that late was 2009. "

The collaboration arrives with serious momentum. Aoki, who has amassed nearly 3 billion streams and been dubbed "one of the most in-demand entertainers in the world" by Billboard, continues to push boundaries across music and culture . Meanwhile, Maniscalco, has led one of the highest-grossing comedy tours in history, selling out arenas worldwide. His latest special, It Ain't Right, debuted as Hulu's #1 title within 24 hours as part of the platform's Hularious comedy slate. In 2025, he earned the #1 highest-grossing comedy tour in Billboard's Midyear Boxscore Report, ranked among the Top 25 global tours across music and comedy, and finished the year as the third highest-grossing comedy tour overall. He was also the only comedian on Pollstar's Top 20 Global Concert Tours of 2025, cementing his status as one of today's most influential figures in comedy.

Aoki recently previewed the record during hisUltra Miami performance, where fans were treated to a visual cameo from Maniscalco, amplifying the track's larger-than-life personality. The release also coincides with Aoki's continued celebration of Dim Mak's 30th anniversary, marking a full-circle moment for one of dance music's most influential tastemakers.

Now fathers, Maniscalco and Aoki show that some things - like dancing like no one's watching (but everyone is) - never change.

With its infectious hook and undeniable personality, "Does Your Father Know You Dance Like That?" is poised to become a multi-format hit, bridging music, comedy, and culture in a way only Aoki and Maniscalco can.
