It was written by Fergie, Ludacris, [[will.i.am]], [[Blac Elvis|Elvis Williams]] and [[Polow da Don]]; the latter also produced the song. "Glamorous" is an airy [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] song that has a slower feel from the album's previous [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[Dance music|dance]]-tinged singles. The lyrics deal with the lead staying rooted despite her success and fame. "Glamorous" garnered generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who commented on its smooth, generic sound and its lyrics, which have been likened to those of [[Gwen Stefani]]'s "[[Luxurious]]" (2005), [[Jennifer Lopez]]'s "[[Jenny from the Block]]" (2002) and [[Madonna]]'s "[[Material Girl]]" (1985).
The song achieved commercial success worldwide, peaking inside the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. "Glamorous" peaked at number one on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and became Fergie's second number one hit on the chart as a solo artist. The song also became her third best-selling song in the United States, amassing sales of over 3,000,000 copies as of August 2012,<ref name="Downloads"/> and earning a double platinum certification by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). The music video for "Glamorous" features Fergie in scenes in which she portrays a successful actress and a teenager, acting as flashbacks from her past. The song was heavily sampled by [[Jack Harlow]] for his 2022 single "[[First Class (song)|First Class]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-jack-harlows-fergie-sampling-new-single-first-class-3200995|title=Listen to Jack Harlow's Fergie-sampling new single 'First Class'|work=[[NME]]|last=Qureshi|first=Arusa|date=April 8, 2022|access-date=April 10, 2022}}</ref>
