<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With animation akin to some of the biggest shows of the late 1990s/early 2000s, from MTV’s Daria to Beavis and Butthead, the video finds a young, cartoon version of Fancy in his bedroom, processing the world around him and nodding to the pop-culture staples that defined his upbringing – from the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child to Tamagotchis, Miss Cleo, and Brittney Spears, whose story actually inspired second verse of the thought-provoking tune.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I used to love cartoons in the &#8217;90s, so I wanted a Beavis and Butthead-inspired cartoon for this particular video,” Fancy explains. “This video is all about consumption and getting lost in a world where the media is just trying to sell us anything and everything… And by the way, this is just the beginning of my animated self&#8217;s journey. Stay tuned to find out what happens after my &#8216;gaylien&#8217; abduction!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the video amplifying this sentiment, &#8220;Bored&#8221; tackles the topic of perception versus reality in today’s society and serves as a commentary on the glamorized way we view the world, the image we create for ourselves and how we often hide the struggles and truth beneath. Co-written with and produced by Alysa Vanderheym (<a title="Lady A" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/lady-antebellum-concert-tour-tickets/">Lady A</a>, <a title="Florida Georgia Line" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/florida-georgia-line-tour-tickets/">Florida Georgia Line</a>, One Republic, <a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a>), “Bored” is Inspired in part by Fancy’s own demons and serves as a cautionary tale to remain honest with yourself.</p>
