Fantasy is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. The song was written and produced by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff.
It was released on September 12, 1995, by Columbia Records as the lead single from Carey's fifth studio album,
Daydream.
The song became Carey's eighth chart-topper on the US Billboard Hot 100, spending eight weeks atop the chart.
In doing so,
Fantasy helped Daydream become the best-selling album of 1995 in the United States. The song remains one of Carey's most popular songs and has been covered by many artists over the years.
Fantasy is a song about having a crush on someone and imagining what it would be like to be with them. It's also a song about using your imagination to escape reality.
In other words, it's a song about daydreaming. And who doesn't love to daydream? We all do it. It's our own personal form of escapism.
Whether fantasizing about being with our celebrity crush or winning the lottery, it feels good to imagine ourselves in a different (and usually better) reality.
So next time you find yourself daydreaming, why not put on Mariah Carey's Fantasy and pretend you're in your own little world of make-believe?
