"Fantasy" is a song recorded by French singer-songwriter DyE for his debut studio album, Taki 183 (2011). It was released as the record's second and final single on 10 January 2011. The recording was written and produced by DyE himself, while Guillaume Teyssier served as an additional lyricist.

Since its initial release, the song has been well known due to its accompanying music video, which was highly intended to shock its viewers. The viral clip features four teenagers sneaking off into a pool house at night before taking part in sexual activities, which transforms two of the friends into alien-like monsters.

Background and composition

"Fantasy" was written and produced by DyE himself, while Guillaume Teyssier served as an additional lyricist.[1] Despite its music video's violent and sexual nature, João Pedro Mechelli from A Gambiarra claimed that the lyrics represented the entire opposite of that and were open for other interpretations.[2]

Music video

An animated accompanying music video for "Fantasy" was released sometime in 2011. The visual was designed and created by Jérémie Périn and has often been known for its shock value. According to Ian Gassman from Paste, its "very buzzy twist ending makes it pretty hard not to click".[3] Gassman additionally listed it at number four on his list of "10 More of the Best Animated Music Videos" for the same publication.[3]
