And accordingly, it’s success on TikTok took the song with it. That is to say that, like any wise musician these days, Walker decided to create a dance associated with the song. However, in his case, apparently he didn’t do so for commercial purposes per se. Rather it was more of a family affair, where he came up with more than one dance video for “Fancy Like”. And one of them (which involved him dancing alongside his daughter named Lela) blew up. Explosion on TikTokĮven though Walker Hayes, concurrently at 41 years of age, doesn’t necessarily fit the profile of an artist who suddenly goes viral on TikTok, such has actually been the case as far as “Fancy Like” is concerned. “Fancy Like” also went on to chart respectably in the following places: This feat gave Walker the first no 1 song on this highly prestigious chart. In that latter regard, it performed much better than any other song he has ever dropped.Īs if that wasn’t enough, “Fancy Like” also made it to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs listing. Furthermore, it was a top-20 hit on the Hot 100. This particular song is actually Walker Hayes’ biggest hit to date as far as critical success is concerned. For instance, it topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs list. The said LP in addition to making it onto the top 10 of the Top Country Albums chart (as did Country Stuff) also broke the top 40 of the Billboard 200 proper. Thus far Hayes’ most-notably project to date was his second LP Boom (2017). Monument Records released it on 4 June 2021. It officially came out as a single. This track is from Walker Hayes’ EP Country Stuff. This is a song that Walker Hayes, a singer from Mobile, Alabama, co-wrote with the following names:Īnd the producers of the track are Joe Thibodeau alongside industry stalwart Shane McAnally. They remind us that if you’re with someone you truly love, even riding a much-humbler Vespa can prove to be an equally-edifying experience. Or let’s say that whereas it may be ultra-cool whippin’ a Tesla for instance, types like Walker are here to remind us of something very important. So we’ll conclude by saying that whereas blinging may be the order of the day, country musicians, in cases such as these, tend to be relics, if you will, of a less-materialistic time. And the two of them being able to enjoy the time of their lives chillin’ at places and enjoying the types of consumables that any working-class person can enjoy, you know, on payday is priceless. Key Sentiments of “Fancy Like”Īnd again, as alluded to in the lyrics, the sentiments expressed were inspired by us all being subject to a popular music and overall entertainment industry that tends to, even if not always intentionally, present riches as the key to happiness.īut Walker is like nah. He isn’t interested in that. Rather, with the numerous namedropping of brands listeners based in the United States would be familiar with, it also serves as ode to the affordable pleasures that virtually any of us can enjoy with a loved one(s). Or phrased differently, a “date night” at Applebee’s is an experience that only a working-class person, like the character Walker is portraying, would refer to as being “fancy”. So even though the featured narrative is put into a romance context, it isn’t only about the vocalist celebrating spending time with this particular lady whom he’s smitten with.
