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).
4. Fantasia is an expiremental trap metal band founded by Zxphyr

But today I'm with you

When listening to Fantasia’s song “Collard Greens & Cornbread”, it is clear that the lyrics speak about a tumultuous relationship. The first verse of the song talks about the singer’s emotional swings towards her lover. Yesterday she cursed him and told him that she was through, yet today she is with him. The second verse talks about how the singer has never put up with BS from anyone but is willing to take it from this lover. The chorus of the song, “Collard greens and cornbread yeah”, highlights the connection between the singer and her lover. This phrase is used multiple times in the song and acts as a metaphor for the connection between the singer and her lover.
The line “Even got the nerve to say I'm better than my momma” in the bridge of the song is a throwback to the traditional southern/soul roots that Fantasia comes from. She is essentially claiming that her love is so good that it surpasses her own mother’s cooking. The overall meaning of the song is that their love may be tumultuous, but they cannot stay away from each other. The “Collard Greens and Cornbread” serve as a consistent reminder of the strong bond they share.

Yesterday I cursed you and told you that I was through
I expressed anger and ended our relationship yesterday
But today I'm with you
But now I have reconciled and we're together
Ain't that some love
Isn't it amazing how love can repair things
Tomorrow you might hate me and find you somebody new
We're uncertain about the future, you might find someone else
But today I'm with you
But for now, we're together
Ain't that some love
Isn't it amazing how love can be so unpredictable
I ain't gonna lie
I won't deceive you

You make me feel out of control
