The song "Fancy Like (Remix)" by Walker Hayes is a catchy and fun track that celebrates the simple pleasures in life and the love between two people. The lyrics tell the story of a couple who enjoy the little things and find joy in inexpensive and down-to-earth experiences. The song starts by emphasizing that the narrator's partner is not high-maintenance and doesn't require extravagant gestures or expensive outings. They mention taking their partner to Wendy's, a fast-food restaurant known for its affordable menu items. The reference to dipping fries in a Frosty, a popular treat at Wendy's, shows the playful and lighthearted nature of their relationship. However, the narrator also acknowledges that sometimes, when they have extra money, they like to treat their partner with something more luxurious, symbolizing their desire to provide for and spoil their loved one. They use the phrase "upgrade" to suggest splurging on special occasions. The chorus emphasizes the couple's idea of being "fancy." They compare their version of fancy to going to Applebee's, a casual dining chain, for a date night. They mention specific menu items like the Bourbon Street Steak and the Oreo Shake, making it clear that they find joy in indulging in these relatively affordable treats. The reference to getting two straws for one check highlights their unity and shared experiences. The lyrics continue to describe their love and enjoyment of simple pleasures, mentioning being "bougie" (referring to high-class or luxurious tastes) like drinking Natty (Natural Light beer) from a Styrofoam container. The line about squeaky-squeakin in the truck bed on the way home refers to their playful and intimate moments together. They also mention Alabama-jamma, a term that represents their love for country culture and their connection to the South. The bridge of the song highlights their happiness in everyday activities. They mention wearing clean jeans without holes and enjoying country-style kisses without the need for tobacco (Skoal). The lyrics suggest that the partner is beautiful without relying heavily on makeup, highlighting her natural beauty. In the final chorus, they mention being fancy like Applebee's once again and enjoying the company of each other. The references to boxed wine and a simple up-do hairstyle in the kitchen light add to the picture of their relaxed and joyful life together. Overall, "Fancy Like (Remix)" is a celebration of finding pleasure in the little things, cherishing love, and celebrating a simple, yet happy and fulfilling, relationship.
