"'Fancy Like'" is a song recorded by American country music singer Walker Hayes. It was released on August 2, 2021, from his fifth EP 'Country Stuff' via Monument Records Nashville.

Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hayes and his family decided to make TikTok videos for fun, creating dances for several songs from his EP 'Country Stuff' for his children, including "Country Stuff" and "I Hope You Miss Me". The TikTok video for "Fancy Like" has received more than 2.4 million likes and 23,000 comments, and became a popular meme which led to the song becoming a viral hit.
In an interview with CMT, he said: "It's nice to know when you put out something that honestly, I just wrote about my family. There's no pretentiousness there. It's just who we are. When you get to be that honest and the public reacts, it's a real magical thing. And the dances, that's just me being a dad. I mean, that's just how we roll around here."
Music videos
The song received two music video releases. The original version, depicting Hayes singing the song around a house and meadow, was released on June 4, 2021. The remix version with Kesha was released on October 7, 2021, and directed by Rehman Ali. The video was filmed In Los Angeles. It features Hayes and Kesha "in a 'Fancy Like' world of their own tailgating, skateboarding, and dancing through the streets of LA."
