In her new song, 'I'm Doin' Me,' Fantasia decides to give herself some much-needed breathing room by ending a hopeless relationship.
Produced by Chuck Harmony, the latest single documents the singer's painful, yet necessary decision to finally cut the cord with her loved one, and move on to bigger and better things. The former 'American Idol' establishes the new song's message from the very beginning, with a spoken-word introduction in which she explains, "You know, sometimes you have to put yourself first."
With a penetrating piano and drum beat backing her up, Fantasia proceeds to passionately describe the moment she finally opens her eyes, and realizes that she can no longer waste her time -- nor her tears -- on a futile relationship. "If he can't love me equally," the singer declares, "then he don't need to be with me."
'I'm Doin' Me' is the second single off of Fantasia's August-released album, 'Back to Me.' To listen to 'I'm Doin' Me,' tune in to the New R&B First station on AOL Radio.

1. FANTASIA HAS TURNED LEMONS INTO LEMONADE! SHE IS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO MADE A STUPID DECISION TO GET INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE. I COULD EASILY SAY THAT BEING ALONE IS VERY HARD AND TEMPTATION IS STRONG BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SOMEONE IN A RELATIONSHIP.I HOPE SHE LEARNS FROM THIS. THIS IS HEAVY AND I AM SORRY THAT PAULA COOK HAD TO BE A VICTIM. THE THING IS THAT MARRIED PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO EACH OTHER AND NOONEELSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUCCESSES OF FAILURES! THE FACT MAY WELL BE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD MARRIAGE.PAULA COOK NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THAT AND FANTASIA SHOULD FOLLOW MY RULE THAT I HAD TO ADOPT: DONT'T PICK NOBODYELSES TROUBLES! IF HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THAT PERSON HE HAS BEEN SLEEPING WITH FOR YEARS HE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHY AND THEN MOVE BY HIMSELF FOR A WHILE. DEAL WITH HIM AND MAYBEE AFTER 6 OR 8 MONTHS HE MAY BE READY TO HAVE LUNCE OR SOMETHING. IF HE WANTS YOU SOMEBODY ELSE PROBABLY DOES TOO. DON'T PLAY YOURSELF SHORT. YOU'RE YOUNG, TALENTED, GROWN AND SEXY
