Fantasia’s new album, “Back to Me,” hits stores today and she’s been running the usual press gauntlet. What is unusual is how candid she is about her recent suicide attempt, especially on ABC's "Good Morning America" today.

The former “American Idol” champ talked about her overdose, saying it was no accident. Furthermore, she elaborated that it was not just recent events—and issues with her married boyfriend—that led to the attempt; rather it was a cumulative effect of years of troubles including bankruptcy.

Watch below. You can’t help but root for her. Also, read our review of "Back to Me" here and watch the video for hit song, "Bittersweet," here.

    Hang in there Tasia. No one is perfect no not one. God has forgiven you and thats all that matters, He will continue to lead the way for you--trust Him. We all fall down sometimes but the good thing about that is, we don't have to stay down. Proverb 3:5-7 will explain it all, do it and be blessed. I love you.
