“Fantasy Girlfriend” is a song by Ex Lover, an Omaha, Nebraska-based post-punk band. The track appears on the album Made in Heaven, released on January 2, 2026. Ex Lover describes its sound as “bratty post-punk para los que quieren bailar,” placing the band in a dance-oriented post-punk/darkwave lane.
Lyrically, “Fantasy Girlfriend” explores romantic idealization, longing, uncertainty, and the tension between an imagined relationship and whether the other person is emotionally ready for love. The repeated “fantasy girlfriend” idea gives the song a playful surface while the lyrics underneath suggest hesitation and unfulfilled connection.
