Without Me Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In an interview with You Know I Got Soul, Fantasia reveals that the inspiration for the song came from a late night phone call she had in the studio, which left her fuming. To Singersroom she recalled:

We were in the studio all night, I was the only girl, there was nothing but men in the studio and I was feeling some type of way. I had just gotten a call about something and I was feeling a way, so I remember telling Harmony, ‘I need something gangsta.’ Once I got in the booth, the lyrics just came out."

This song, which was a calculated flunk-you to a guy who did Fantasia wrong, was nominated for the Best R&B song in the 2014 Grammy’s, one of three nominations that year for Fantasia’s fourth studio album, Side Effects of You.
