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).

Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause when I think I found the right one
I end up lonely
So don't judge me
Before you get to know me
I don't wanna share your love
Make me your one and only
Ooh, oh yeah
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to
My heart
Can't take another heart break
Because every time I fall deep in love
Somebody go and hurt me
So this time
There will be no mistakes
If you allow me to prove myself
Boy, I can make you happy
Ooh, oh yeah
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to
I'm stingy with my man
I'm stingy with the goodies
If you think my style fly
Then check the way I boogie
This one tough cookie
With shell toes and hoodies
Will approach any chic that walk up to my man
Never understand my man, be my man
I shut the game down
This dude is mine now
Bring it to the ring
K.O. in one round
Miss Demeanor and Fantasia with the break down, uh
I want to be the only one (i want to be)
The only one that you run to (suga', suga', suga', suga', suga')
I sure don't need nobody else (baby i don't need)
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I wanna be (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to be the only one (oh baby)
The only one that you run to (only one that you could run to)
I sure don't need nobody else (I don't need nobody else)
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I wanna be (oh, yeah)
I don't want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I don't need nobody else
I don't wanna share your love
I wanna be the only one you run to
