The viral “Fancy Like” is not as easy as it looks — just ask LeAnn Rimes and her husband, Eddie Cibrian.
These days when you open up social media, chances are you’ll hear Walker Hayes‘ chart-topping hit about Applebee’s. “Fancy Like” has taken the world by storm — Hayes is a country artist by definition, but this song has definitely crossed over into other genres and blown up TikTok in unprecedented ways.

It’s not the first remix of the viral song. Hayes teamed up with pop star Kesha for a version that included a fun music video in October. That one stays true to its original sound, but Kesha comes in with some fresh lyrics in the second verse:
