Mando II (Greek: Μαντώ II) is the Greek singer Mando's twelfth studio album and comeback after a five-year absence from the Greek music scene.[1] It was released on May 30, 2008,[2] by Polymusic and was Mando's first release since 2003.

The writers are Pegasos and Vicky Gerotheodorou as well as many well known song composers, including Mando herself. The title of the album represents a new start, and a second chapter in her music career after taking time off to be with her family.[3] Mando has stated that one of the driving factors for her to return to the studio sooner rather than later, was her children, who kept asking her when she would release an album.[4] She also stated that now she sings for her children first.[4]

The song "Breathe Again" was reported to have been submitted to Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi as a candidate for the Greek representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, but was not selected for the national final.[1]

The official presentation of the album was on June 10, 2008, at Club Bocca in Voula, Greece.[1]

It peaked at number ten in Greece and number eight in Cyprus, receiving a Gold certification in both countries.
