Fancy Like by Walker Hayes
Key: C# · 161 BPM · 3/4
Fancy Like by Walker Hayes is written in C# major. Rather than one of the handful of progressions that show up again and again across pop and rock, it settles into its own 2-chord loop — F#-C# — repeating with its own internal logic instead of borrowing a familiar shape. At 161 BPM, it moves at a fast, high-energy pace, in waltz time.
