Fantasia has released five studio albums Free Yourself (2004), Fantasia (2006), Back To Me (2008), Side Effects of You (2013), The Definition of... (2016), and a holiday album, Christmas After Midnight (2017).
In addition to her music career, Fantasia has also ventured into other pursuits such as publishing, acting, and Broadway. In her memoir "Life is Not a Fairy Tale", she reveals intimate details about herself, including her functional illiteracy. The book was later adapted into a Lifetime movie of the same name in 2006. Directed by famed actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, it received 19 million viewers, making it Lifetime's second-most viewed program of all time.
During 2007, Fantasia was on Broadway performing as Celie in The Color Purple, the hit musical based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. Her performance had earned rave reviews and helped boost ticket sales as well as her album sales. After her Broadway stint ended in January 2008, Fantasia was back on the road again touring and is said to be preparing for her next studio album.
2. Fantasia is also the first name from the French symphonic metalband Fairyland. They called themselves 'Fantasia' when they made demos like 'Cruel Death' and 'The King'. But when they came with their debute album, they changed their name in Fairyland.
3. Fantasia is a progressive rock band from Pietarsaari, Finland. Originally named St. Marcus Blues Band (founded in 1967), the bassist Markku Lönngren came up with the new name from Amazing Blondel's album called "Fantasia Lindum" and thus changed the name to "Fantasia" in 1973.
The band defined their sound somewhere between progressive rock and hard rock although the sound mainly resembles to those of the other 1970's prog rock bands, such as Finnish compatriots Wigwam and Tabula Rasa. Fantasia released only one self-titled album in 1975 with only 2000 copies sold (which made it a almost a "rarity" amongst the prog rock collectors), but has been reissued on CD by Rocket-Records in 2010.
Line-up: Hannu Lindblom (guitars & vocals), Harri Piha (bass), Karl-Erik Rönngård (drums) and Roul Helantie (organs & piano).

Ain’t Gon’ Beg You
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you just, you just ain't actin' right
Huh, that's okay
Everytime I need someone to be there
When I had me one of them crazy days
(I ain't gon' beg you)
Everytime I want someone to treat me like
(I ain't gon' beg you)
Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire, then I'ma let us burn
(Boy you)
Ain't nothin'
(Gon' miss)
My lovin'
And last time was the last time, so I'm through with you
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin', don't know what I'm waitin' for
'Cause you know, you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing about this hood
No, I ain't gon' beg you no more
And if you not down with this, then baby, there's a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lotta men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more
Every time I wanna be wined and dined
Taken out on a Friday night, just spend a little time
(I ain't gon' beg you)
And everytime I need some huggin' and some lovin'
But it's late and I don't get nothin'
(I ain't gon' beg you)
'Cause I let you slide before
(Let you slide before)
But I see you ain't gon' learn
(See you ain't gon' learn)
Since you like to play with fire, then I'ma let us burn
Boy you
(Ain't nothin')
Gon' miss
(My lovin')
(And last time was the last time, so I'm through with you)
No, I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin', don't know what I'm waitin' for
'Cause you know, you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing about this hood
No, I ain't gon' beg you no more
And if you not down with this, then baby, there's a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lotta men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more
Said, I'm through with being patient
I ain't here for you just to come and
Take it when you wanna take it
You took it all for granted
Oh, all that good love and all that freaky stuff, is all gon'
If that's how you is, then let me tell you this
Take your lame old tired excuses somewhere else
'Cause you're weak and I don't wanna hear it
(You're weak and I don't wanna hear it)
Stay away I don't wanna get near it
'Cause boy, I'm movin' on without you
No, I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin', don't know what I'm waitin' for
'Cause you know, you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing about this hood
No, I ain't gon' beg you no more
And if you not down with this, then baby, there's a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lotta men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more
Ain't gon' beg you to love me
Ain't gon' beg you to hold me
Ain't gon' beg you to pick me up and take me out
I ain't gon' beg you to ice me
Ain't gon' beg you to want me
Ain't gon' beg you to do things a real man about
Ain't gon' beg you to love me
Ain't gon' beg you to hold me
Ain't gon' beg you to pick me up and take me out
I ain't gon' beg you to ice me
Ain't gon' beg you to wipe me
Ain't gon' beg you to do things a real man about
