How an ode to Applebee’s climbed the country charts and became inescapable

It’s possible that you remember the first time you heard it. Maybe it was on your TikTok feed, accompanied by a jaunty, illustrative dance. Perhaps it came when you sat down to watch the opening game of the college football season in the beginning of September. But whenever it happened, it is almost certain that you’ve heard “Fancy Like,” the country hit about finding joy in mid-tier chain restaurant Applebee’s.

Engineered to the teeth by Hayes and his co-writers, Nashville hitmakers Shane Stevens, Cameron Bartolini, and Josh Jenkins, “Fancy Like” was essentially created in a lab to be a viral hit. It’s the perfect blend of catchy, silly, and relatable — all essential elements of a classic country story song, like the Chicks’s legendary “Goodbye Earl.

To be clear, I understand why someone might want to write a song Applebee’s Oreo shake because, yes, it is very good. There’s also nothing wrong with enjoying a date night at Applebee’s. What is at issue, though, is that we will all soon be unable to escape “Fancy Like.” It is a terribly infectious earworm, one that will not leave your head without copious sleep or perhaps pharmaceutical aids.
