Fantasi is a song written by Christer Sandelin and Tommy Ekman, originally recorded by Freestyle on the 1981 album Fantasi, as well as released as a single the same year, peaking at 13th position at the Swedish singles chart. The song lyrics describe a boy afraid of asking a girl over getting together with her, but in his fantasy they're already together, "rolling around among soft pillows". The song was also recorded with lyrics in English, as Fantasy, on Fantasy, which was the English-language version of the same album.
