Who Is Fancy performed the song by himself during the time when he was the Opening Act for Ariana Grande's The Honeymoon Tour.
The trio performed the song on Dancing with the Stars season 21 finale on November 24, 2015, following Meghan Trainor's performance of "Better When I'm Dancin'".
Music video
The music video features computer cartoon animation. It starts with Who is Fancy swimming in a pool. The main point features him wearing a suit singing in front of a prison line while "Crossing the Line". Trainor is seen wearing a pink swim suit. After she is seen lying on a deck chair in cartoon form she falls into the pool and is pulled out by the pool cleaner. She is also seen singing with Fancy in the prison in a purple dress. Next, we see Ariana Grande (With very big eyes) in a white skirt in cartoon form baking a cherry pie for the pool cleaner. As she attempts to give it to him, he knocks her into the pool and she is rescued by him with his pool net like Trainor was. Next, we see her wearing a purple skirt with Fancy and Trainor in the jail cell. The video ends with Fancy being locked in the pool service truck by Trainor and Grande after Fancy blowing a kiss.
Chart performance
The song reached its highest international peak in New Zealand, where it debuted at #34 on the New Zealand Singles Chart on the chart dated February 11th, 2016 and reached its peak of #26 two weeks later. The song was certified Gold in its seventh week on the chart for achieving 7,500 in equivalent single sales units. The song became Fancy's first, Grande's eighth, and Trainor's sixth charting hit in the country.
