Interesting facts and trivia about Imaginary Lover. By Songfacts®.

Another hit from this popular southern band, this song is about fantasy affairs and how they can often trump reality, as fantasies are flawless, while real people have flaws and impose their own reality. Like their hit "So Into You," it refers to longing for the unattainable.

Lead singer Perry Carlton "Buddy" Buie, drummer Robert Nix, and keyboardist Dean Daughtry wrote the song. In an interview with the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum, Buie was asked if this song was about masturbation. He emphatically answered, "Yes!"
