STAYC pay tribute to role models TWICE with Spotify K-Pop ON! (온) Single

K-Pop ‘TEENFRESH’ pioneers STAYC today released their Spotify K-Pop ON! (온) Single featuring their rendition of “FANCY” by TWICE. It’s the final of three Spotify-exclusive covers produced and released as part of the platform’s K-Pop ON! (온) First Crush campaign, which invites listeners to celebrate a shared passion for K-Pop as they reminisce about the first artists who ignited their love for the genre. 


STAYC on  Spotify K-Pop ON!

Launched in commemoration of the anniversary of K-Pop ON! (온) - Spotify’s global genre flagship playlist dedicated to bringing millions of listeners around the world K-Pop’s very best, the K-Pop ON! (온) First Crush campaign serves as a testament to how the genre touches lives, spreads positivity and unites listeners. Since its inception in 2014, the playlist has amassed over 5.3 million saves by Spotify users worldwide, transcending regional boundaries, languages, and cultures, and racking up billions of streams for Korean artists.


For STAYC, their Spotify K-Pop ON! (온) Single is both a tribute to TWICE, whom they regard as role models, and a trip down memory lane to their pre-debut days. Originally released back in 2019, TWICE’s “FANCY” quickly became one of the members’ most loved songs at the time, and one they’d practice in the studio as trainees. 


Now, STAYC comes full circle with “Fancy - Spotify Singles”, which features an R&B twist to the 2019 electro-pop hit. In their cover, SUMIN, SIEUN, ISA, SEEUN, YOON, and J showcase their falsetto, performing the song at a more laidback pace while delivering the sophistication and playfulness of the iconic track.


“We’re really excited to be working with Spotify to bring SWITHs (our fans) our rendition of a song that we as a group hold dear. We’ve always loved and respected TWICE growing up, and FANCY in particular has given us many shared fond memories from our days as trainees. It’s a peek into the soundtrack of our journey as K-Pop artists and fans ourselves, and we hope SWITHs will enjoy our cover and join us in celebrating our First K-Pop Crush!” said STAYC. 


To let fans in on discovering more about STAYC’s rendition of “FANCY”, Spotify will be rolling out a series of exclusive bonus content on its K-Pop ON! (온) Video Podcast and YouTube channels. Tune in on March 16 to watch STAYC perform their Spotify K-Pop ON! (온) Single, and on March 18, Spotify and the members of STAYC will take fans on a trip down memory lane to unpack the group’s beginnings with K-Pop. On March 20, Spotify will take you behind the scenes for a peek into the Making of STAYC’s Spotify K-Pop ON! (온) Single.


Listen to “Fancy - Spotify Singles" by STAYC on Spotify's K-pop ON! (온) Playlist today.

It’s one of my favorite songs and I’m so happy that you all loved it,” shared Lisa. 


Lisa became the first solo K-Pop star to be featured on Spotify’s most popular and highly influential playlist, Today’s Top Hits, following her single’s release last year. 


The Philippines ranked amongst the Top 10 countries that streamed “Money”. 


“I’m so happy to join this billions club. Thank you so much for loving Money, you guys made this happen! It’s something that I will remember for the rest of my life!” said Lisa of “Money” reaching 1 Billion streams.
