"Fergalicious" is a song recorded by American singer, songwriter and rapper Fergie for her debut studio album, The Dutchess (2006).

Some music critics compared the song to "My Humps" (2005), a single released by The Black Eyed Peas from their fourth studio album Monkey Business (2005).

"Fergalicious" was certified 4× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and sold over 3.5 million digital downloads, becoming Fergie's second best selling song in the United States.

In Europe, the song peaked within the top thirty on several different charts across the continent, including high positions in Finland, Norway, Belgium and France.

An accompanying music video was directed by Fatima Robinson and features Fergie and will.i.am in a candy factory, supposedly inspired by Willy Wonka.

[6] The writers of these two songs, Dania Maria Birks, Juana Michelle Burns, Juanita A. Lee, Kim Nazel, Fatima Shaheed, and Derrick Rahming, receive songwriting credits for "Fergalicious" as a result.

[8] Fergie stated in an interview with MTV that the song reminds her of the old days, when "I went to Knott's Berry Farm [in California] and did what I thought was a dance battle.

[14] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that the song "opens The Dutchess with a cartoonish Black Eyed Peas tone".

"[11] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly writes that the song does not stray away from her previous works with the Black Eyed Peas, comparing the lyrics to those of "My Humps".

[14] Norman Mayers of Prefix thought it and "Here I Come" are fun and flirty songs, writing that "they work because of the dance-floor productions that not only reference '80s hip-hop but also '60s Motown.

[2] Louis Tullo of The Heights writes that "the result [of the song] yields danceable beats and playfully salacious lyrics, but it seems her voice is lost in overproduction.

"[18] Eva Wiseman of The Guardian praised the song as "joyous and fabulous pop music, the kind of people who mop up silently when she wets herself on stage...

"[19] IGN writer Spence D. finds "Fergalicious" to be a nice start up for the album, referring to the song as "an infectious little ditty that grinds its way into your grey matter with unavoidable tenacity.

[21] After weeks of ascending and descending within the top 10, the song reached a peak of number two on the Hot 100 on the issue dated January 13, 2007 after selling 294,000 downloads.

[24] "Fergalicious" is Fergie's second most downloaded song, behind "Big Girls Don't Cry" and ahead of "Glamorous", "Clumsy", and "London Bridge".

Throughout the video, she wears a tan and khaki girl scout outfit, sports a black one-piece swimsuit while lying in a pile of candy, (often in a kaleidoscope view) works out in a colorful gym flexing her biceps, sings in a room filled with lollipops and other candies while dressed like Shirley Temple, and pops out of a cake while wearing a tiny blue swimsuit with gems encrusted on the exterior.
