Original Me is the fourth studio album from German Eurodance act Cascada, first released on 17 June 2011. Recording sessions for the album took place from 2009 to 2011 at Plazmatek Studio, Yanou Studio 1. The entire album, like their previous albums, was produced by the two DJs from Cascada, Yanou and DJ Manian. The album’s genre follows in the footsteps of the preceding album, Evacuate the Dancefloor, completely shifting away from the uptempo eurodance, containing electropop songs that are influenced by urban contemporary and pop music. Musically, the album is composed of electro-infused dance tracks with thick euro synths, cymbal crashing beats and Europop lyrics. Lyrically, the album, like the preceding albums, is composed of songs about love, dancing, and relationships.

The album was released as a two disc set. The first disc features the eleven original songs for the album. The second set is a greatest hits compilation CD, featuring every single Cascada has released internationally. Critical reception of the album was mixed, with critics praising the sound and lyrics. Despite this, the album underperformed compared to the group's previous records. This led to the album being dropped by Cascada's US record Label, Robbins Entertainment.

"Pyromania" was the first single released from the album on 19 March 2010; it was later released in the U.S. in the summer of the same year. The single achieved moderate chart positions worldwide. “Night Nurse” was released as a promotional single on 7 November 2010 in the U.K., but was released commercially in the United States exclusively on 16 December 2011. “San Francisco” was released on 1 May 2011 in Europe and in the U.S. on 4 November 2011. It peaked in the top 15 in the Netherlands, Austria and Germany. The 4th single "Au Revoir", was released in the U.K. and Germany on 23 September 2011, and in the U.S. on 15 November 2011.
