Fancy Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Iggy’s two verses on this song were originally debuted on “Leave It” when it leaked in December 2013. However, because the song was never officially released, it was reworked into “Fancy” after Charli XCX offered her own written hook for Iggy.

What did Iggy Azalea say about "Fancy"?
Genius Answer

Co-writer Kurtis McKenzie:

I remember being in a club when the song came on and seeing people react, and that initial feeling of excitement before the song starts. As soon as people heard the bass line, they instantly knew what song it was.

Music video director Director X:

There’s a movement behind that [song]. It really grew up – [Iggy] grew up because of it. It was just one of those things. The right concept, the right record, the right video. One of those things to speak to the power of music videos and visuals.”
