"Pyromania"
Song

"Pyromania" is a song performed by German eurodance group Cascada from their forthcoming fourth studio album. It was co-written by Allan Eshuys in collaboration with Yann Peifer and Manuel Reuter of Cascada who also produced the track. The song was premiered on February 12, 2010. "Pyromania" was first released on March 19, 2010 by Zooland Records. Composed as an electropop song, "Pyromania" features Natalie Horler singing the whole song with guest male vocals speaking the "Pyro-pyro" hook. Lyrically, the song is a play on words. It talks about the love of fire and to be obsessed with it.

Contemporary critics gave a mixed review of "Pyromania". Some praised its infectious nature and catchy hook while others felt the song was unoriginal. "Pyromania" garnered charting success for Cascada; reaching the top forty in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands and Scotland. The music video premiered on 17 February on the British television station Clubland TV. It features Natalie Horler in different scenes in which she is by herself and with backup dancers, singing and dancing in front of futuristic space balls and fire explosions. Cascada performed "Pyromania" live on German television program The Dome and at The 2010 Pepsi B96 Summerbash.
