Everytime We Touch is the debut album from German eurodance group Cascada, consisting of DJ Manian, Natalie Horler, and Yanou, first released on March 23, 2007. Recording sessions for the album took place during Fall of 2004 to January 2006, most of which was recorded after the third single from the album Everytime We Touch rose to popularity. It took only three weeks to record. The entire album was produced by the two disc jockeys from Cascada, Yanou and DJ Manian. The album is comprised heavily of up-tempo eurodance tracks, many of which are covers of hit songs from the 1980s and 1990s of the synthpop, eurodance, and rock genres. Musically, the album is composed of dance tracks with thick euro synths, trance beats that clock in over 140 beats per minute and europop lyrics. Lyrically, the albums is composed of love songs and dance floor euphoria.

Critical reception of the album has been mixed to negative, with many critics disliking the repetitive beat and saying the album had too much filler. Most critics did admire, however, its chart success for a dance album in the tough U.S. music market. The album has sold about 7 million copies worldwide. There was a total of seven singles released from the album. "Miracle" and "Everytime We Touch" were released in America and were the only singles that received gold and platinum certifications. Along with "Truly, Madly, Deeply", these singles attained notable chart success internationally, peaking in the top ten in countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden. "Bad Boy" and "Ready for Love" were released as the second and the seventh single from the album and failed to attain any chart success. "A Neverending Dream" and "How Do You Do!" achieved minor chart success in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Austria respectively.
