Crystal Sky is the fourth studio album by German singer Lena Meyer-Landrut. It was released by We Love Music and Universal Music on 15 May 2015. Taking her work further into the electro pop genre, Meyer-Landrut worked with a variety of new collaborators on the album, including production teams Biffco and Beatgees, who would contribute a more electronic, bass-heavy, experimental and danceable sound to the album, along with club sounds, dubstep elements and computer-generated retro effects.[4]

The album earned largely polarizing reviews from music critic some of who felt it lacked variety and individuality while others complimented Crystal Sky for its international sound and compared it favorably to English singer Ellie Goulding. In Germany, the album debuted at number two on the German Albums Chart and was eventually certified Gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) in 2023. Lead single "Traffic Lights" became a top 20 in Germany, while "Wild & Free," recorded for the comedy film Fack ju Göhte 2 (2015) and included on the deluxe edition of Crystal Sky became Meyer-Landrut's sixth top ten hit.
