“‘Teenage Fantasy’ is your first glimpse into my world,” NANCY says of the debut cut. “A peak behind the curtain before the matinee begins. I am the pop culture that you all love, chewed up and spat out back onto the canvas.

“Teenage Fantasy is the song I hear when I dream. It wakes me up nostalgic for a time that never existed. It is the soundtrack to the childhood I never had and the road map to a future I can’t predict. It’s Nancy…”
