"'Fancy'" (stylized in all caps) is a song by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released by JYP Entertainment on April 22, 2019, as the lead single from the group's seventh extended play, 'Fancy You'.

Background and composition



in Inglewood, California on February 15, 2022

"Fancy" was co-written by Black Eyed Pilseung, who has written many of Twice's previous title tracks including the debut single "Like Ooh-Ahh", "Cheer Up", "TT" and "Likey". The songwriting duo, which consists of Rado and Choi Kyu-sung, are credited alongside Jeon Goon. It was described as a "dramatic and dynamic song that features group in a totally new light". While keeping the group's previous quirky festive tone that has defined a majority of its hits, "Fancy" blends mellow mood pop electro beats with the members sophisticated, strong melodies. Singing about love, the bandmates boldly express their emotions with lines like "I wont ever let you go" and "It doesnt matter who liked who first".

Tamar Herman from 'Billboard' described the song as a "bouncing electro-pop track that keeps the groups quintessentially retro-inspired, addicting sound while turning to a bit of a bolder styling that revels in dynamic synths and playful digital quirks". The group's vocals take on a bit more of a mature, sultry tone during the verses, but maintains the group's exuberant, upbeat energy for the song's chorus.

Reception



"Fancy" debuted at number 3 both on 'Gaon's Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100. It also peaked at number 4 both on 'Billboard' World Digital Song Sales chart and 'Billboard Japan' Hot 100, number 8 and 17 on Oricon Digital Singles and RMNZ Hot Singles, respectively. In April 2020, "Fancy" earned Silver streaming certification for surpassing 30 million streams on Oricon Streaming Singles Chart from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). The song ranked at number 5 on 'Dazed's 20 Best K-pop Songs of 2019. 'Billboard' also included "Fancy" in their best K-pop songs of the 2010s list.

Music video and promotion



The music video of "Fancy" was uploaded online on April 22, 2019. The visual introduces individual members in vibrant, stylish looks surrounded by vivid backdrops while the group itself switches off between bold black numbers and colorful "Fancy" outfits, much of which features Chanel's signature double "c" logo.

The music video was ranked third place on 2019 YouTube's Most Popular Music Video in South Korea. It also ranked at No. 10 on 2019 YouTube's Top Trend Music Video in Japan.
