Infatuation is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kate Alexa, released on August 17, 2012 in Australia by Liberation Music. The album was released six years after Alexa's debut Broken & Beautiful (2006), and was preceded by four singles, "Infatuation", "X Rated", "I'm Falling" and "I Deny".

Kate Alexa released her debut album Broken & Beautiful in 2006, and the following year released the official soundtrack for the Australian television series H2O: Just Add Water. In 2008, Alexa released a cover of Womack & Womack's "Teardrops" as a "gap between albums". She originally began recording the album in mid-2008, after the release of Teardrops, recording over eighty tracks and discarding five albums worth of material. Alexa was originally unsure of the album's direction: "The first [album] was really rushed so I wanted to have time to experiment, you know, make something that I was really happy with and something that I loved." Upon working with songwriter Tom Nichols, however, it all fell into place. "Tom was the last person I worked with... I met him and we had the same vision and wanted to go in the same direction, so I pretty much forgot about anything else, and just wrote this album. We wrote, then looked back over the other stuff, and it just happened that [the songs written with Nichols] just worked together." Although the album was predominantly composed by Alexa and Nichols, the track "I'm Falling" was composed by Alexa, Stuart Crichton and Kara DioGuardi. "It all came about when I was on the writing trip. I actually went in to work with Stuart for a few days. He's amazing – great to work with. So Stuart and I were together, but Kara was in the States. It was really random – we'd written this entire song together almost via correspondence. But it was really natural and I think it fits me very well. It’s very much where I was at that point in time."
