Synopsis

Iggy Azalea steps into the role of Cher Horowitz, turning "Fancy" into a glossy, high-energy tribute to the 1995 film "Clueless." With Charli XCX as Tai, the video recreates the movie's most recognizable moments, from the yellow plaid school outfit and digital wardrobe to hallway struts, tennis-court antics, a crowded party, and a nervous freeway driving lesson. The performers move through a stylized Beverly Hills high school world while delivering the song's boastful verses and instantly recognizable chorus.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was released on March 4, 2014, and closely follows the visual language of "Clueless," including its costumes, locations, props, and set pieces.
  • Several scenes were filmed at the same Los Angeles-area school used in "Clueless." The production also shut down a freeway to recreate the film's driving-lesson sequence.
  • Azalea portrays Cher Horowitz, while Charli XCX takes the role of Tai Frasier. Their costumes deliberately echo the outfits worn by Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy in the film.
  • The clip includes a digital closet sequence, a recreation of Cher's yellow plaid look, and references to the movie's school, tennis, and party scenes.
  • "Fancy" received four nominations at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year, Best Pop Video, Best Female Video, and Best Art Direction.
  • The video's nostalgic concept helped turn "Fancy" into a major mainstream breakthrough. The song spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became closely associated with its "Clueless" imagery.

Lyrics

First thing's first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Murda Bizness
I could hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (what?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
