Fantasies is the fourth studio album by Canadian indie rock band Metric.

The first single release from the album, "Help I'm Alive", was added to the iTunes Store on December 23, 2008, in Canada.

On February 13, 2009, the album cover's image was added to the song "Help, I'm Alive" on their MySpace playlist.

The subsequent mainstream success of the album led The New York Times to use Metric as the central band in an article regarding the shrinking role of major labels in the music industry.

[3] Frontwoman Emily Haines told Drowned in Sound that "Front Row" was inspired by the novel Great Jones Street by Don DeLillo.

The song "Black Sheep" was recorded for the album, but was ultimately left off because they felt that it 'too obviously reflected the band's sound'.
