“Fancy Like” is an ode to the simple things, with its references to familiar brand names like Wendy’s, Applebee’s, and Maybelline. It is a fun, upbeat, tongue-in-cheek, yet truthful response to some of the things Hayes was hearing from fans on Instagram.
And it’s social media that has helped make it a viral hit, with a TikTok video Hayes made with his daughter Lela, that has now garnered 30 million views and pushed "Fancy Like" to over 127 million streams. Now, the track has been given pop music's royal treatment, with superstar Kesha adding her signature sound and lyrical charm to the new version.
