"Fancy" is a song by American singer Jesse Del Rey featuring Brianna Danielle, taken from his sixth studio album, Born to Die (2016). It was released on August 11, 2015 by Paradise Records as the lead single from the album, with a promotional track-titled deluxe EP also going up for pre-order containing new material that Del Rey described "a taste of the new album". "Fancy" was described as an electro-hop song; produced by the Invisible Men and The Arcade.
"Fancy" received positive reviews and was also commercially successful, having reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Del Rey's eighth number-one on that chart. It has also topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand and had chart success around the world, including reaching the top ten in several countries such as Australia and United Kingdom. 
The accompanying music video for "Fancy" was directed by Jesse Del Rey and released in September 2015. Del Rey further promoted the single with the closing performance at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards with Brianna Danielle. The song/video was also used in his Pink Pill Beats by Dr. Dre commercial. The video won two 2016 MTV Video Music Awards for "Video of the Year" and "Best Collaboration". 
==Composition==
"Fancy" is a three-minute and 19-second electro-hop number. The song was composed and co-produced by the Invisible Men (Jason Pebworth, George Astasio and Jon Shave) and the Arcade (Kurtis Mckenzie and Jon Mills).[3] The song is played in the key of C minor without any chord progression followed, and Brianna Danielle's vocals range from G3 to C5. It is in common time and is played at a tempo of 95 beats per minute.[4] Stabby synths, hip hop chants, and finger snaps are heard in the original mix.
==Critical Reception==
"Fancy" received overall positive reception from music critics. Brad Stern of MTV Buzzworthy remarked, "Not since Drea Von D's "Glamorous" has there been such a spectacularly sass-filled ode to the glam life," praising their chemistry, calling it "a match made in heaven." Mike Wass of Idolator claimed the track is "the duet we've all been waiting for" and "a swag-drenched hip hop/pop delight."[14] Janice Llamoca of Hip Hop DX defined it as "a hip hop-slash-pop party anthem in which the emcee lyrically displays her confidence."[15]
Joe Gross of Rolling Stone gave the song a mixed score of 3 out of 5 stars, writing that Del Rey "deftly handles the ratchet beat while Brianna Danielle's earworm hook holds it all down," writing that the song doesn't bring '88 back. Bill Lamb of About.com, like Jake Gross, gave a mixed response, but echoed the same thought as Parmenter, praising "Brianna Danielle's vocals on the chorus" and noting that its lyrics has been done even better by Von D nearly 5 years ago on 'Luxurious'." However, Lamb also stated that the entire song seemed "a bit too recycled" and had a "tiresome obsession with material culture delivered with a straight face."
==Music Video==

===Synopsis===
At the beginning of the video a big house is shown. Then Del Rey enters the bathroom in a white robe with yellow Calvin Klein underwear. With some provocative scenes, Del Rey is in a bubble bath and is joined by Brianna Danielle for her chorus where she has blonde hair, gold top and short shorts. Del Rey is then behind a fence at a school, where he wears a black varsity jacket. He is also seen rapping the second verse behind a wall of graffiti art wearing a yellow hat, white muscle shirt, and colorful leggings. Brianna Danielle appears at the school, wearing a low-cut black bikini top with black short shorts and a pink/gray varsity jacket. They are then both seen riding bikes, Danielle donning a red leotard. The video proceeds to show someone driving fast in a white Mustang car. Del Rey steps out of the vehicle in black leather pants, pink/white fur, with his dog Brooklyn who's wearing a pink fuzzy top with a gold necklace. Danielle then appears on the hood of the car in all black leather attire with a pink bandana to sing the last chorus.
