Steve Aoki and Sebastian Maniscalco have released their collaborative single, ‘Does Your Father Know You Dance Like That?’, following Aoki’s return to Ultra Miami. The track pairs Aoki’s festival-driven production with Maniscalco’s observational humor and physical comedy. Listen here. Built around a catchy hook and call-and-response structure, the song captures the chaos of a night out. Maniscalco first previewed it during Justin Bieber’s Halloween livestream. Initially produced by PARISI and Freddy Wexler, it caught Bieber’s attention before Wexler brought it to Aoki, who expanded it into a full dance record. The concept draws from Maniscalco’s teenage club experiences in Chicago, exaggerating modern nightlife with over-the-top details and humor. The official music video follows Aoki and Maniscalco from separate Las Vegas hotel rooms into a night out, ending with Maniscalco joining Aoki onstage during a live set. Aoki said the collaboration aimed to bring Maniscalco’s comedy into a club setting. Maniscalco noted it marked his first time having a song of his own, joking about adjusting to late nights while promoting it. The release arrives amid strong momentum for both. Aoki continues to rank among electronic music’s most in-demand performers, while Maniscalco remains one of the highest-grossing comedians, with his special It Ain’t Right performing strongly on Hulu and his latest tour ranking among the top globally. Aoki previewed the track at Ultra Miami, where it drew a positive response. The release also coincides with the 30th anniversary of his Dim Mak label. Now both fathers, Aoki and Maniscalco frame the track around a simple idea: letting loose and not overthinking the moment.Steve Aoki and Sebastian Maniscalco: ‘Does Your Father Know You Dance Like That?’
