Composition
The album is filled with club ready dance music, ranging from subgenres like trance, Hi-NRG, eurotrance, hard trance and europop. Cascada's disc jockeys Yanou and DJ Manian wrote all the original songs and produced all the songs on the album. Most of the lyrics on the album's songs are about love and relationships. The title track starts out as the first track from the album. The song is used as the basis of most of the songs from album, taking on a euphoric trance sound with a thumping beat created by a drum machine and a wave of synthesizers. Like most of the songs, "Everytime We Touch" has interludes after the chorus is sung in which only dance music plays for the of forty seconds to one minute. "How Do You Do" comes in as the album's second track. It is a cover of the first single off the album Tourism by Swedish pop recording duo Roxette. The third track off the album is "Bad Boy", which was written by Yann Peifer and Manuel Reuter about casual relationship with a bad boy. "Miracle" is the fourth track off the album. The song features a different production than some of the other tracks on the album, consisting of fizzing trance and elevating techno synthesizers during the dance interlude. The fifth track on the album is "Another You", a lite piano ballad that is completely devoid of the thump and synth composition of the rest of the album. "Ready for Love" is a europop/eurodance track about the uncertainties of love. Track number seven on the album is "Can't Stop the Rain", a song about life post-breakup, claiming that she can't sleep at night, cries constantly to the point she feels like drowning and is overwhelmed by the relationship's sudden end. The song is counteractive to the eurodance beat and euphoric synthesizers
"Kids in America" was recorded as the eighth track for the album and is a cover of the debut synthpop single from the debut album of British recording artist Kim Wilde, released in 1981. The ninth track on the album is "A Neverending Dream", a cover of the hit European single by German eurodance recording group X-Perience. The song was produced as a thumping eurotrance track that mimics the same style of the first song, "Everytime We Touch", featuring the same dance interludes consisting of a progressing synthetic beat and same rhythmic buzzing synthesizers. The tenth track on the album is "Truly Madly Deeply", a cover of the 1996 hit song by Australian recording duo Savage Garden. The song was produced as a lite synthesizer ballad as the original album version and as a euphoric electronic dance song for the single version. The eleventh song on the album is "One More Night", a song about a blissful relationship. "Wouldn't It Be Good",the twelfth track on the album and a cover version of the 1984 hit song by British recording artist Nik Kershaw, was produced by DJ Manian and Yanou as a eurotechno track with influences of eurotrance and dance music. "Love Again" is thirteenth track on the album about someone who has lost faith in love. The last track on the album is the stripped down ballad version of "Everytime We Touch" called "Everytime We Touch (Yanou's Candlelight Mix)".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
