Fancy Like, a single included in his album Country Stuff, went viral in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown.

This some became so popular due to a musical arrangement much more close to a trap track in both beats & lyrics, maybe with some Lil Nas X vibes, and a further radio version featuring Kesha, being a song that made fall down many walls that separated classic country tunes from other urban sounds.
