Cascada represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden with "Glorious×Glorious8 February 2013 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1Glorious (video edit)3:272Glorious (extended mix)4:42". While being one of the most successful bands of the Electronic dance music genre itself, Cascada was named as the third-most successful German act of the 21st century.
In 2010 and again in 2014, Cascada's music was the second-most downloaded of all time in the dance category, after David Guetta.

2004–2005: Early career

When Natalie Horler was 17 in 1998, she was doing studio work for various DJs. She met Yanou and DJ Manian when they were 24 and 20, respectively. Originally, they released music under the name Cascade, but due to Kaskade, another artist with a similar name, threatening legal action, they changed it to Cascada. At the same time, they also released music under the names of Siria, 3XM, Phalanx, Scarf!, Diamond, and Akira, before ending these projects due to the success of Cascada. Under Andorfine Records, they produced their debut and hit single, "Miracle×MiracleMarch 2004 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 3 tracksA(I Need a) Miracle (extended mix)6:07B1(I Need a) Miracle (Icarus mix)7:00B2(I Need a) Miracle (radio mix)3:37", and its follow-up, "Bad Boy×Bad Boy20 September 2004 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 13 tracks1Bad Boy (radio mix)3:152Bad Boy (Central Seven radio edit)3:023Bad Boy (Alex Megane vs. Marc van Damme edit)3:124Bad Boy (Inverno radio edit)3:235Bad Boy (The 2 Jays radio edit)3:496Bad Boy (Pulsedriver remix)5:577Bad Boy (original club mix)6:188Bad Boy (Central Seven remix)5:599Bad Boy (Alex Megane vs. Marc van Damme remix)6:3510Bad Boy (Inverno edit)5:1411Bad Boy (The 2 Jays remix)7:1412(I Need a) Miracle (radio mix)3:4113(I Need a) Miracle (original club mix)6:09", in Germany. This caught the attention of the American dance label Robbins Entertainment. They negotiated a contract, and "Miracle" was released in 2004. When this did not attract much attention, Cascada offered them "Everytime We Touch×Everytime We Touch21 February 2006 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 19 tracks1Everytime We Touch3:192Ready for Love3:253Miracle3:404How Do You Do3:185Can't Stop the Rain3:306Truly Madly Deeply4:147Wouldn't It Be Good3:298Bad Boy3:149Another You3:3910A Neverending Dream3:2411Love Again3:2912Kids in America3:0213One More Night3:4414Everytime We Touch (Yanou's Candlelight mix)3:1615Everytime We Touch (club mix)16How Do You Do (original mix)17A Neverending Dream (club mix)18A Neverending Dream (Deepforces remix)19A Neverending Dream (The Real Bppty Babes remix)".

2005–2007: Everytime We Touch

Cascada experienced mainstream success in the United Kingdom and the United States almost a year after releasing their second American single, "Everytime We Touch×Everytime We Touch21 February 2006 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 19 tracks1Everytime We Touch3:192Ready for Love3:253Miracle3:404How Do You Do3:185Can't Stop the Rain3:306Truly Madly Deeply4:147Wouldn't It Be Good3:298Bad Boy3:149Another You3:3910A Neverending Dream3:2411Love Again3:2912Kids in America3:0213One More Night3:4414Everytime We Touch (Yanou's Candlelight mix)3:1615Everytime We Touch (club mix)16How Do You Do (original mix)17A Neverending Dream (club mix)18A Neverending Dream (Deepforces remix)19A Neverending Dream (The Real Bppty Babes remix)", which interpolates the chorus of a 1992 Maggie Reilly song of the same name. The song gained platinum and gold certifications across the globe, being certified platinum by the RIAA. As the popularity of the single skyrocketed, a music video was produced, and an album was recorded and released a few months later.
A total of seven singles were released from the album, four of which have been released in the United Kingdom: "Everytime We Touch", "Truly Madly Deeply×Truly Madly Deeply11 December 2006 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1Truly Madly Deeply (radio edit)2:572Everytime We Touch3:17" (originally by Savage Garden), "Miracle×MiracleMarch 2004 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 3 tracksA(I Need a) Miracle (extended mix)6:07B1(I Need a) Miracle (Icarus mix)7:00B2(I Need a) Miracle (radio mix)3:37" and "A Neverending Dream×A Neverending Dream3 April 2006 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 3 tracksA1A Neverending Dream (club mix)4:57B1A Neverending Dream (Real Booty Babes remix)5:59B2A Neverending Dream (Deepforces remix)6:09" (originally by X-Perience), all of which gained Top 10 status apart from "A Neverending Dream" (which charted at No.46). The US saw the re-release of "Miracle" shortly after "Everytime We Touch"'s breakthrough, receiving high radio rotation and reaching the lower ends of the Billboard chart. Their album Everytime We Touch experienced success in the UK Album chart, where it remained in the Top 40 for 24 weeks, peaking at No.2. The album experienced success on the US charts as well. The success of the album gained Cascada two World Music Award nominations, and won them the World's Best-Selling German Artist. On 12 February 2010, a Premium Edition of the album was released featuring remixes from Pulsedriver and Tune Up!, and an exclusive vocal edit from ItaloBrothers.

2007–2009: Perfect Day

At the end of 2007, Cascada released their second album, Perfect Day×Perfect Day3 December 2007 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 14 tracks1What Hurts the Most3:412Runaway3:323Who Do You Think You Are?3:254Because the Night3:285I Will Believe It2:576Perfect Day3:447What Do You Want From Me?2:508Sk8er Boi3:229Could It Be You?3:4710He's All That3:0811Just Like a Pill3:2412Endless Summer3:2613What Hurts the Most (Yanou's Candlelight mix)3:5414Video Clip of "What Hurts the Most" in the UK and several Northern European countries, followed by the remaining markets in the first quarter of 2008, The album contained cover versions of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi", Pink's "Just Like A Pill", Patti Smith's "Because the Night×Because the Night19 May 2008 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracks1Because the Night5:322Because the Night (Manox remix)6:193Because the Night (Mondo remix)5:584Because the Night (Michel Kovacs remix)4:56" and the Jeffrey Steele song "What Hurts the Most×What Hurts the MostNovember 2007 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracksA1What Hurts the Most (Spencer & Hill remix)6:57B1What Hurts the Most (Spencer & Hill dub mix)5:58", as well as two tracks, "Endless Summer" and "I Will Believe It", that were previously recorded by Horler and DJ Manian under the discontinued Siria name. However, the US version, which was released last, replaced the Siria songs and the Pink and Avril Lavigne cover versions with three other tracks, because they could not obtain the North American rights. The lead single, "What Hurts the Most", was released in late 2007 and early 2008, along with its B-side, a cover version of Wham!'s "Last Christmas×Last ChristmasNovember 2007 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Last Christmas3:53".

2009–2010: Evacuate the Dancefloor

On 29 June 2009, "Evacuate the Dancefloor×Evacuate the Dancefloor6 July 2009 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube MusicTracklist · 11 tracks1Evacuate the Dancefloor3:272Hold On2:573Everytime I Hear Your Name3:134Ready or Not3:015Fever3:206Hold Your Hands Up3:467Breathless3:108Dangerous2:599Why You Had to Leave3:3710What About Me3:1211Draw the Line (Yanou's Candlelight mix)3:57" was released in the UK. The release, just four days after the death of Michael Jackson, was expected to chart below Jackson's old hits, which sold heavily after his death. Instead, it debuted at No. 1, above Jackson's "Man in the Mirror". The song went on to the top five in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand, as well as the top 10 in many more. The song was released in the US in late September and peaked at 25, remaining on the chart for 17 weeks and making it the group's second Top 40 hit.
The song has become a club staple, used in many dance-oriented video games, and even nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. The album, also named Evacuate the Dancefloor, was released a week later on 6 July in the UK and Germany. The album continued Cascada's progression into electro-pop, a change welcomed by mainstream audiences and fans, despite many fans missing the euro-pop feel they considered integral to the Cascada project. The album itself did not mirror the success of the single, yet it did chart in the Top 10 of many countries, including the UK where it went on to sell 100,000 copies.

Nevertheless, the group toured extensively to promote the album, even opening for Britney Spears during a stop in Germany.

After the release of the album, Horler posed for Playboy Deutschland in July 2011, to mixed reactions from fans and critics. On 1 September 2011, US label Robbins Entertainment announced on their message board that Cascada and Robbins had amicably parted ways, and Cascada were released from the label, citing creative differences as the reason for their departure. It was also announced that Original Me would still be released, under their Zooland label.

According to a 2014 interview, the group had no plans to release a fifth studio album, but were working on a new single. For this single, "Madness", Cascada collaborated with Manchester-based rapper Tristan 'Tris' Henry; the single was released on 26 September 2014 worldwide, with the video premiering on YouTube on 30 September.
